Teleporter Devices

This is a customizable rift that moves players instantly between locations. The Teleporter device can be used to move players around your island, or create multi-island experiences with teleporters that take players from one island to another.

Teleporter devices can be set to visible, invisible, and silent. A silent, invisible teleporter can make gameplay exciting by transporting players suddenly from one place to another.

You can even group teleporters together to move players to areas on your island in the order you intend.

For help on how to find the Teleporter device, see Using Devices. 

Device Options
