Classes:ArtiTeleport

Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

Classes: Inventory→ArtiTeleport

The Chaos Device is a magic artifact that enters the player's inventory when picked up and, when activated, gives the player an "emergency escape" from dangerous situations and unmorphs them if they are currently morphed.

Using in DECORATE

When this (or inherited) actor is used it teleports the activator to one of the player starts. It also cancels player morph and plays the sound "*evillaugh" (if defined).

Notes

As of 2.3.0, the "*evillaugh" sound is recognised in any game; previously it could be defined, but was only fully recognised by Heretic.
