You need proper names on the teles. Change them to something without spaces, I would recommend. I tend to use the location in the name:

Code: Select all

teleporter
name northwest_1 # it really helps if this name is descriptive
	position -191 340 0
	rotation 45
	size 0.125 10 10
	border 1
end

In the links, use the names instead of the numbers you currently have. Things are a little more complicated if your teles are in groups, but it doesn't look like you're doing that here.

Also, if that doesn't work, try putting the teleporter name in the top, like this.

Code: Select all

teleporter northwest_1
   position -191 340 0
   rotation 45
   size 0.125 10 10
   border 1
end

Try this, if the previous way doesn't work.

What I always did is simplify it as much as possible. Start with two teles, make them work. Make 2 more, make them work, etc. Teleporters have always been a PIA, get used to it.

I've heard that Teppic's blender tools support the teleporter object, but haven't witnessed this myself.

I figured out a way to make it work after talking to Ahs3.

I used bzedit and put the teleporters where i wanted them and added the links. then i opened it into a text editor, and copied and pasted the teleporter stuff into my map file.

If it works for you...

However, I would suggest looking at _how_ the teles are linked, in order that you can understand how they work, in case you need to do hand-maintenance. As always, the wiki is your friend.
