Hi all here is a recent update on how to make an easy to setup and easy to use
teleporter system that I wrote quite a while back.
Hope it works for everyone....

"How to make teleport work in a few easy steps.......
if you want your character to go to a different spot on the map
immediately from point A to point B.....try this.

at point A near where the player will be...
place a triggerzone on the ground...
then...
LEFT-CLICK on it and open---PROPERTIES
go to...AI SYSTEM------MAIN-----
and replace the .lua script
by clicking on the ... at the end of the .lua
and then in the list of scripts choose....
transportinzone.lua
Then in the ---- IfUsed section add in
point1 (as a name holder for your player destination )
then click on APPLY CHANGES

Now.......place an object near the first triggerzone so it
looks like the teleporter. ( make sure it doesn't cover the whole zone. )

Now , place another triggerzone where you want to teleport to and
place any object you like ( make sure again to NOT cover the full triggerzone area )
at POINT B ( wherever you want your player to appear)
then...
OPEN the second ( destination ) triggerzones properties and
Then.....in the NAME section...replace its name with...
point1 ( or , whatever you called it in triggerzone A's Ifused section )
now...
run the level to see if it works for you.

If NOT.....verify all the steps above and especially SPELLING in the tags you added
to the properties.

let me know if it works ok,,,or,,,If you had any difficulties with it.

I think the reason there's no response is probably because it's something so basic everybody knows how to do it without reading a guide to be honest mate.

Thanks Granada YW for sure
and
as per belidos...if you READ CLOSELY the wording.......
I did say it was an EASY way to make a teleporter system , certainly NOT
needed by those that are already well aquainted with the ins and outs
of game Gurus ways of doing things but more done to help facilitate
newer and less familiar members of our community.
BEFORE updating it and redoing it , I did a search and found very little if ANY info on the subject
and some asking , yet unanswered questions.
I also perused your list of posted subjects and found no help on the subject either.

So all in all.....enjoy.
