Teleporters in Groups

Post by ClayOgre »

If you specify a teleporter as part of a group, and then call multiple instances of that group, is there a way to reference a specific teleporter in a specific group instance in a link statment? Or can you only link them with the globbing characters.

I created a group with a teleporter (unnamed) and then called that group twice, once in the original location and once spun 90 around the Z axis.

I could get them to link together if I used:

link
from *
to *
end

But if I tried

link
from 0:b
to 1:f
end

It wouldn't work. Running bzfs with the -d -d -d -d option told me that i was trying to link t0 back to itself and the link was broken. But how do these two teleporters reference each other with the globbing character? Is it impossible to reference an individual teleporter withing a specific group instance?

I would suggest naming the teleporters and using the names to link them.

Well, if you name the teleporters and put them in a group and call that group, you now have two groups of teleporters with the same name...I dunno if that would work.

I shall further peruse the dddd info.
