How to Enable a Teleporter
To set a teleporter up, simply enter a solo place, insert the teleporter, and open the Workspace .
- Open up the teleporter model and select the "placeID" value in Properties. Copy and paste the end of the link of the place you want to teleport to into the value. (For example, Crossroads's ID is 1818.)
- Then copy and paste the spawn's name you want to teleport to into the "DestinationSpawnName" value.
- Lastly, copy and paste the name of the spawn you just set up into the "TeleporterName" value found in the teleporter's spawn. (This however is optional, but more convenient if you want to teleport back easily.)
- Then enter the teleporter in online mode and you will be asked if you want to be teleported. Select "Yes" and you will be sent to the desired place.
