How do you make a random tele porter?

You do not.

Intelli made one and only one near spawn to help get new players out of the spawn suburbs quicker and hopefully retain more new players.

Yes, and it required special coding by Intelli for that one machine--you won't be able to make a teleporter just by placing blocks and items in the right order.
Unless... tekkit...

Nor will you be able to copy such coding on your own server if that is also what you meant...

Why not? It isn't like Intelli has the random teleporter copyrighted or anything. I don't see why he couldn't use it on his own server if he wanted.

But anyway: you can't just make a teleport machine. The only reason we have one now is because Intelli put something in the code like this: (Pardon my pseudo-code, I don't know Java at all, only Python and a bit of Basic.)
Anyway, he coded it. It's a coding thing. And that isn't redundant at all. Just read my pseudo-code, and you'll understand (if you know how to read code, anyway).

Too bad it doesn't look more like this:

Code: Select all

If PlayerCoordinates = *the tper coordinates* then
    randomnumber (a) 
    randomnumber (b)
    while (biome(a,b) == ocean) {
       randomnumber(a)
       randomnumber(b)
    }
    PlayerCoordinates=a, *highest y*, b

IKR. Sigh. Of course, all the most awesome caves are under the ocean, so...
