Hey Deliman, or anyone that has knowledge on what I'm about to request for. If any of you can help, I have a question. I know what the Dispatcher trigger does, which is trigger multiple of events at the same time, but can anyone tell me how to use it? I've toyed around with it and my results are somewhat unsuccessful. I'm at the point right now where I'm ready to give up on this idea that I have, but I'm going to the pro for this, which is you Del.
Let me explain what I'm planning on making work. I'm trying to get a lever or pump, to trigger a mover/trap and teleport me to a specific location at the same time.
Hmmm, yeah, it might sound a little impossible but I need to know if its at all possible. Del, if you have any idea on how to make this work or if this is even possible, any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Don't rush or anything, take your time if you need.
Ok....that's about it.

Okay,
You sound as though you have the idea of the way the Dispatcher works/ it is meant to have multiple effects triggered at specific times(some can be delayed also). Now th only downfall to your idea is this. The teleporters in the game are set for a singleplayer type of code. By this I mean...
If you have a pump/lever and you trigger it to teleport you, the only downfall is that by default code on a teleporter is that everyone in the level will teleport and smash each other. Now there are ways to get around this, although they add more to the idea. The code that you are looking for is set up in the actual playerstart to read and incoming player as an ID. The normal link of a playerstart is through the default teleporter, although it does have its own coding to make it search for the safest telelporter
(to avoid the smashing of other players)
The more basic way to make this happen is:
*Dispatcher--(triggered by the pump/lever)Triggering the hatch/trap...(triggering any other effects)
*trap--(no triggered events)
NOTE: from what u had explained...
It sounds like you want the trap there...dropping the player to another room? If this is the case, simply place a teleporter in that room/new zone and they will teleport as a single person from there(the teleporter would not be triggered though, simple normal default teleporter.
the other way...
ReWrite the code making a "new class" of teleporter allowing it to read the "PlayerInfo" as a playerstart does.
if you can ... explain it a bit more ...ex: if you want this pump to trigger a trap...does the player fall after hitting the pump/lever? Also... where does he fall to? And when and where do u want the player to teleport from...right there at the pump/lever?
Let me know
Good luck buddy ;D
your friend...
