Hey there,

currently i need to check if a given vector intersects with a teleport trigger (and then modify it in accordance to it being "teleported"). The only way i can think of to implement this is to loop all teleport triggers, get their bounds and origin, check if the point intersects with it, and then do the teleporting.

The question: Is there a better way (In terms of performance)? Or am i simply out of luck. Thanks!

You can either use a trace ray or the method you are currently using.
However a traceray you'd have to filter out anything that's not a trigger teleport. It shouldn't be too performance heavy if you store the min/max of the triggers once before, if you are doing it multiple times a second or something.

Yup thats the thing. Thought so caching the values and going from that would be the best i can do.

Tracerays can hit (teleport) triggers? Never knew that. That would be even better since a trace is fired anways in my code. Do i need to use some special mask or something for that to work?

Please don't.. just do it once per map, at round_start (as that's when entities are spawned; unless you have a plugin that creates them mid-round) and cache the values into an array.

Yeah no worries, i've implemented it like this
