How to create simple portals (teleporters in Doom)

[Oldschoolgeek32]

Hi there! I've been developing a wad project (my 1st ever) and I was wondering, How can create simple portals or teleporters in Doom Builder 2?

 

Any advice is accepted!

 

Thank you :)

Teleports have been a staple of DOOM maps. So, you can use use them in any port which supports the DOOM format.

However, in advanced formats (DOOM in Hexen or DOOM in UDMF) the specials are numbered differently and have been expanded upon.

Portals and Stacked Sectors are  recent constructs in advanced mapping formats for GZDoom or Eternity.

Although stacked sectors can be easily constructed with 3D sectors  for GZDoom and are less likely to glitch.

Also worth noting: If you want to go between two teleports, then let us for example label them A and B. If A's linedefs have the same tag as B's sector, and B's linedefs have the same tag as A's sector (along with teleport destination things on both pads), then you can teleport between them. You can also have different lines corresponding to different destinations.
