lets try this agian,

different question

I've got two teleporters, they go back and forth, how can I make going through one way puts a delay on the one going back through?

does that make sense?

A delay?

You can adjust the speed that a player is "thrown" from the target_teleport by adjusting the health on the trigger_teleport.  Other than that, there is no other way of controlling any timing on teleporters.

Only alternative would be to place the trigger inside something which can be controlled by timing (such as a room with a "timed" door).

The only thing I can think of is to make the func_usable that activates the transporter go away for a certain period of time.

I'm assuming you have a func_usables targetting func_doors. Give each func_usable the same targetname as the func_door of the other transporter. Make a target_delay for each that will reactivate the func_usable. Now of course this would require the always_on flag to be unchecked, which means you would also have to make a target_relay or something for each func_usable that would reactivate it when you turn it off.

That will either work, or fail miserably. I have a sneaky suspicion that making the func_usable disappear would cause it to fire its targets, creating a transporter loop which is very annoying.

You didn't say if you were mapping single player or holomatch. I was assuming holomatch. If you're mapping in single player, there's a something_deactivate entity (can't remember what the something is) that might do the job.

sorry, I always forget to say. yeah it's Holomatch.

scooter- I really have no idea what your sayin.

one picture worth a thousand words.


I want you to be able to go through tele A and not be able to go back through tele B for a few seconds.

I tried a target delay with a target name from trigger A and a target of trigger B. but it didn't work.

I think this is one that only Wade will be able to figure out. And if he can't figure it out it just isn't possible.

Have the teleporter trigger an invisable door (common/clip) to come down and block the other teleporter after you go through it.

Oops, logged in with my old name by accident.

well that sounds like the closest I'm going to get.

would the door's target be the teleporter brush?
