How do I get teleporters to eject you in the same direction always when you go through them?

Well I had heard it was the direction the blue arrow points. But I am not spawning out the right way even if it was the green arrow. :/

Do the source and target have to be going the same direction? I learned it was just the target, but IDK. I never used to work much with teles.

It's the direction that the green line points. Same goes for spawn points, etc.

Ok. It shoots me out that way, but it doesn't make me face that way. it keeps the player in its previous orientation. What gives there?

From past experience, blasting through a teleporter tends to toss you back into the other one.

We're dealing with a 360 degree deleporter, not one imbeded into the walls. I want it to send the player facing the most likely area of action. But that isn't really the question. I just want the teles to reorient the player the correct way.

when you add a basic teleporter,you set it with the light blue arrow or (light blue triangle) facing the direction the player is to face on exiting it

You could always cheat and use trigger volumes and flags, if this doesn't work...
I don't recommend it though.

well whichever arrow I am to use isn't even part of it.
It's not even orienting me in any specific direction based on any arrow. Basically, if i go in facing north, I come out facing north no matter what way the arrow is facing.

Actually, b4 i go any further with this, is there a global parameter that controls ANYTHING having to do with this that may have been messed?

I had this error with Savior for a while. I think the problem might be that you are not facing the green arrow into the source teleporter.
So, the green arrow should point INTO the source, and the green arrow should point AWAY FROM the target.

Does that make sense?

Ya, my problem may be unfixable then. I have a 360 degree source. :/
