 teleportation = ? Lately I've been seeing lots of "just teleport an actor underground and pin it" type stuff, I understand how I'd pin it, but how would I go about teleporting it?

Re: teleportation = ? To "teleport" something, simply change its position variable (Pos) to the desired position.

Re: teleportation = ? so would it be like Code: function Create(self)
if parent.MovableObject:IsActor then
Set pos.Y(123456)
end
end

Re: teleportation = ? What is Set? And remember, capitalization matters.

Re: teleportation = ? It would be "pointer.Pos = Vector(<x value>,<y value>)".
It's a vector. Not a single number.

Re: teleportation = ? Furthermore, it's a value, and not a function like you are calling it with the brackets. Read the guides. Cricket made one too.

Re: teleportation = ? I'm already basing it off of stuff I've learned from what you've posted. I guess there are just some things I'm not getting

Re: teleportation = ? Position is a property. In most scripts, "self" is a pointer to the object that the script is attached to. To call properties on objects, you do the following: To change properties: Code: pointer.property = newValue So, Code: self.Pos = Vector(0,0)
