Ok so I made a teleporter and it works only one problem. Ok so the teleportregion is high up and the node is on the bottom terrain level. When I go through it I spawn high above the node and fall. what can be the problem?

Try raising the height of the node a bit.

The region is high above on a tall building and the spawn node is below on the ground. When I enter the region I teleport but only on the
z and x axis but not on the y axis? so I move to the spawn node but I'm still high up. why?
edit: what is a portal? btw

I have had the same problem, but i have not figured out how to fix it...

From my point of view: a portal is a kind of teleporter with an image of a place where you're going to land (a kind of sphere)

Teleporting seems to be like a super fast run. Normally you run so fast that you move through the walls before the collision detection is applied. However sometimes that doesn't happen. I assume there's a floor between the two points? Maybe you're hitting the floor before the unit is moving fast enough. Try moving the starting point further away from any walls and floors.

If that doesn't work, move the end point closer and see if that has any effect. Don't just move it a little bit, stick it at the half-way point. If it works there, move it another half-way towards the ground and keep repeating that until it stops working. If it didn't work, move it half-way towards the starting point and keep repeating that until it starts working. If it never works, is your starting point about the map bounds? Also make sure your end point isn't below the ground level.

You can teleport across all 3 dimensions, including angle and rotation so what you want to do should be possible.

As for sectors and portals: see your other topic: gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=31395
