You can use regions and triggers so something like this :

Events: A unit Enters "YourRegion"
Condition: Entering Unit is Hero or whatever
Action: Move Entering Unit instantly to "YourRegion2"

Teleporter A --)> where A is name of region when you want to place the teleporter,if you dont have it create it with object editor
Teleporter B --)> same as A
Trigger:
  • Move to B
    • Events
      • Unit enter region A
    • Conditions
      • (Triggering unit) is a hero
      • check = true
      • Or what conditions you want
    • Actions
      • Set check = false
      • Set Move_point = (center of B)
      • Unit - Move (triggering unit) instantly to (Move_point)
      • Camera - Pan camer for (owner of (triggering unit)) to (Move_point) over 0 seconds
      • Selection - Select (triggering unit) for (owner of (triggering unit))
      • Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_Move_point)
      • Set check = true

Trigger:
  • Move to A
    • Events
      • Unit enter region B
    • Conditions
      • (Triggering unit) is a hero
      • check = true
      • Or what conditions you want
    • Actions
      • Set check = false
      • Set Move_point = (center of A)
      • Unit - Move (triggering unit) instantly to (Move_point)
      • Camera - Pan camer for (owner of (triggering unit)) to (Move_point) over 0 seconds
      • Selection - Select (triggering unit) for (owner of (triggering unit))
      • Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_Move_point)
      • Set check = true

@Ultimate: That won't work because the hero will get stuck going back and forth. you need to add in a boolean to check if hero has just arrived or not.

Or you need to move hero with offset so it doesn't actually enter region B/A

Also, it's not MUI. And adding the variable 'check' won't help in the way you have it there, since at the end of the trigger you set it to true. So the unit will still get stuck. You could use a buff given to the unit for 5 seconds, and add a condition to check the unit doesn't have that buff.

please elaborate... is it a waygate that only works with specific types of units? or is it a teleporter item that summons a waygate? We need more specific question, generalization is not your friend my friend. :p

Smitty it was an example if he want to make it MUI or nor he can use array etc.The rest of work reserve to him.Here we help new user not make their work.This is the way how I learn in the past.Curiosity can lead to knowleadge.

Yeh, but the hero would still be bouncing constantly between the two points. I think the reason he asked for the trigger was to get the whole trigger. I agree it's best to try something first, spend at least a few hours trying to make it work and THEN asking for help, but still, I'm just saying, you still haven't fixed the problem of a hero getting stuck.

in that case just simply turn off the trigger just before u move him and turn it back on right after

It`s not bouncing look againg,the boolean value it`s settet again to true after hero has moved ..so the event of trigger B wont fire up becouse variable it`s still false when he enter in region.
I tell you that it`s work fine :p you could try if you dont belive me Smitty

I still can't test anything :/ but surely if the unit is in the region and you set check to true, it'll just be ported back?

Aaaaaand
*rereads the trigger*
*sees 'a unit ENTERS a region'*
*facepalms*

Didn't think of that...

My apologies, it should work fine :p

however it still would be more efficient to turn off the trigger, that way it doesn call any extra functions >.<

@1346610

I only need a 1-way teleporter you know...1way in, no way back

please elaborate... is it a waygate that only works with specific types of units? or is it a teleporter item that summons a waygate? We need more specific question, generalization is not your friend my friend. :p

@GFreak45

i need a teleporter that works with heroes only

you still didnt answer the entire question, but the methods shown should work if you tweak them a little bit

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
