    Yeah, I'm quite positive this has been asked before*, but how d'you get two-way teleporters under the floor, without them disappearing?
    I can get them halfway under, but then I'm stuck with the upper part, and on top of that I can't portal through it.
    (done with spawning a door where the teleporter is, then holding and dropping the portal, so that it's semi in the floor.)

    What I want is to make one of those doors you can 'walk through'.
    I've seen it done before, often, and I got curious how to do it. So I checked, and noticed there's teleporters under the floor there, on both sides of the door.

    Examples are Hide/seek town and ClassroomV3.
    None of you knows how it's done, by any chance?

    Thanks in advance, Spirit798.

    EDIT: Hide/seek town has the same thing I've been able to achieve, and a large space between the doors with a second portal in.
    Here, I'll link ClassroomV3, if it's been uploaded to bungie.net...

    Ok, I can't find it. I'll put it in my own fileshare for a while.
    Here it is: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=67870311
    No, I didn't make that. Not mine.

    *I've browsed through enough pages here without finding it, though.
    I've browsed Forge101, but the few things I thought could work wouldn't do.
    The tap-A didn't get me anywhere 'cept a headache.
    Google didn't get me much farther either :/

    I do know how to get under the map and live to tell it if that's needed.

    Ah, I thought there had to be one, but hadn't seen it yet.
    I found it now. Hadn't really thought of looking in that bar.


    Also, thanks a bunch for the link, you're awesome.


    EDIT: I checked the link, and that's not really quite the result I'm after.
    Have you checked ClassroomV3?
    It's just one door. And the teleporters (you can go through from both ways) are under the floor.

    Well, I'll explain again:

    There is one door, and no big room inbetween two doors where there is a sender node.
    There are 2 two-way nodes infront of the door and behind the door, under the floor.
    You can't see them, but you can port through them.
    The spawn bubble thing you can see in forge is on the floor, so you can still grab the teleporter.

    And I'm just going to say it again, download Classroom, you'll see without doubt what I mean, especially if you go check in Forge.

    Sorry for this major bump, but I still haven't got it figured out.
    The teleporter in the box method won't do it for me.

    I'm not sure If what im thinking of is what you want but...
    The trick to doing it is:

    1) Spawn a box (not neccesary If geomerging into map wall)
    2) spawn what will be your door & use the wall/box to place it.
    3) put a wall braced against the door item.
    4) set everything except for the wall touching the doorpiece to "180, no" and start a new round.
    5) using the wall as a guide, place teleporters. (this may involve geomerging if you didn't use a box)
    ***MAKE SURE THE BOTTOM OF THE TELES ARE TOUCHING YOUR GUIDE WALL***
    6) force spawn objects to see if your teleporters are visible. Correct them if necessary
    7) spawn a reciever and test. correct if neccesary.
    8) ENJOY
