Teleport: Difference between revisions

The '''yellow teleport''' is a teleport introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. They will attempt to send movable objects to another yellow teleport in reverse [[reading order]] if the exit direction is not blocked, similar to a blue teleport. Unlike all other teleports, if the exit directions for all other yellow teleports are blocked, the movable object, if it's not an [[ice block]] or a [[directional block]], will put the yellow teleport in their inventory. This means that yellow teleports can be dropped elsewhere later. Note that every movable object in CC2 has an inventory just like [[Chip|Chip's]]: they can hold up to 4 [[item]]s each, and picking up a 5th will drop the 1st. This usually has no effect, as most [[monster]]s can't pick up tools normally, but this can be demonstrated with yellow teleports and [[Item Bestowal]].

Yellow teleports are technically [[terrain]], not [[static object]]s, and thus can only be dropped on [[floor]]. But because they are also items, they cannot be dropped on a tile containing a static object (with or without a no sign), and if one is dropped on a blank no sign it cannot be collected until the no sign is destroyed. Furthermore, since the [[move order]] for CC2 involves (in order) item collection, auto-drop, and terrain effects, an auto-dropped yellow teleport will immediately attempt to teleport the movable object that dropped it; if the object cannot teleport, the teleport will be picked up again immediately, followed by a second auto-drop. However, if collecting a yellow teleport would result in an auto-dropped yellow teleport, the pick-up simply fails. Additionally, if there is only one yellow teleport at the start of the level, it can never be picked up.

Yellow teleports can be overridden in the same way as red teleports. However, yellow teleports can be [[partial posting|partial posted]] with just the opposing direction blocked off, like blue teleports.
