    I could make a video if you guys want me too, but it would have to be downloaded to see, I don't have a capture card. If i do put it up, it would be appreciated if someone could transfer it to youtube or something so people could directly watch it without downloading. I'll update this post if it seems like more people want a video.
    *EDIT* Since philthy wanted a video, i took the time to make one. Here it is. Sorry it took so long to get up, I made it a week ago or so and tried to post it but it didn't work, so I was being lazy and updated it later. If you didn't reread the original post, just add me if you still don't get it and I'll try to show you....eventually.

    Sweet, this thread helped a lot. I've been trying to make a door for a while but you made it so simple.

    I've put this in my latest map, people often don't realise to put them upside down.

    Don't know if you included this in your post, but if you put a reciever node upside down on the underside of a floating platform, players will come out on the top side. It's just a pretty cool method for hiding a teleporter and having some WTF moments for people who haven't seen it before.

    JJ, I kind of put that in my post, but not really. I don't do that with floating platforms due to the fact that people looking up can see a beam of light coming from the bottom of the platform, which looks kind of weird. Instead, i interlock a teleporter with a wall when it's on the ground to hide the teleporter and act as a doormat or something. And sorry, but does that have anything to do with making a door, besides the fact that they both use teleporters? (Not trying to be mean or anything, I see that you were trying to be helpful.)

    That's pretty cool but the pics confused me. I know what it does cuz' of the other's posts but I couldn't figure it out for the images. Thank's for explaining that though, It'll help a lot.

    That would be useful for something out of a mini game or a CTF game.

    Chrome, I understand that you could have found this through the master index, but I think it's still considered necro posting (Is it?). Anyways, if anyone sent me a message or anything, sorry I didn't get to it, I switched my TV service so I have to move my 360 to get live again, but I'm currently too lazy to stop playing WoW and move it. And to One_Shot_One_Kill, did you actually read the guide? The pictures are just to show what doing each step looks like, they're not meant to be the guide itself.
