Because its an invisible teleporter you get no visual or audio cue that you went someplace else.
Yeah, but you also don't get the transition. XP

I'm using the forest exit with model unchecked and a invisible teleporter right on top of it.. It works .. BUT .. for some reason after I teleport the screen STAYS black, as though it were stuck in the fade. Has anyone else ran into this problem or am I doing something wrong?

Never mind I figured out what you need to do to make the fade work correctly.

1. Place your forest_exit,s in the locations you want in any direction and uncheck model. (unless you want to use the model :P).
2. Place your invisible_teleporter,s on top of your forest_exit,s. Set there initial state to deactivated then set the target locations. ( make sure you place the target locations on top of your forest_exit,s or the fade will be stuck)
3. In front of your exits on each location place a floor_trigger( these are invisible with no sound). For the first floor_trigger set onActivate 1 to teleporter 1 activate, set OnActivate 2 to teleporter 2 deactivate. For the second floor_trigger do the same except use teleporter 2 for OnActivate 1 and teleporter 1 for OnActivate 2. ( Part 3 is to prevent teleport infinity.)

I think I explained this correctly lol. Works for me so I hope it does for you as well :)

In the game "Prey", the hero could swing a pipewrench into a portal in front of him, and hit himself in the back of the head. :lol:
