Warpath Tele Bug

[HoosTrax]

I've noticed this on numerous occasions, including this evening:

Between the first point and the second point, there's a fenced off ledge with the team logo on the back wall - it's commonly used by the attacking team to set up a base. If an engy builds a teleport within that area, after a while, the tele seems to blow itself up for no reason.

I was actually playing sniper tonight, not engy, but I heard someone (Kolak, I think?) make a comment that his tele just blew up randomly. So I went over to the ledge just in time to see another engy's tele blow up too.

If the tele is built further up the ledge, towards point two, there doesn't seem to be a problem. Is this just a bug with the Warpath map? Or is it intentional for some reason?

On a sidenote: I think I've noticed the Engy tele counter being reset back to 0 occasionally, even when the entrance hasn't been destroyed or rebuilt. Not sure if it's solely on Warpath.

There is a bug that causes teleporters to blow up if they are near a wall. Basically they are far enough away from the wall to build but when they spin they hit the wall and therefore blow up when someone tries to teleport. It can be recreated in dustbowl at the blue 2nd section spawn area. Basically move it away from the wall and it should be good.

I'll give that a try, thanks. I think I probably build them too close to the wooden fence -- they're not all that close to the back wall.

Yeah, I've had it happen next to the wooden fence... the funny part is that it didn't do it the first teleport. About 8 people went through it alright, then the next one it got destroyed.

Very peculiar.

 

[HoosTrax]

Yeah, I've noticed the exact same thing. It takes quite a while sometimes before it spontaneously blows up. It's not a case of "one tele, and boom!"

Your tely counter reset is just a thing where TF2 only counts something like 45(or around that number) telys before it resets.

 

[HoosTrax]

Really? I have 51 teles as my engy record for teleports, and just the other day, someone got 100+ (on Warpath, no less).

 

[Dreadmaker]

100+ on a tele? wow. that map must have been going for a long time.
