When an object enters a teleport, it will exit out the next teleport of the same color on the same network if one is available. They generally behave as sliding tiles, except in [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] and [[Chip's Challenge 2|CC2]], objects enter them at their normal walking speed. Each color teleport behaves differently when [[Chip]], [[Melinda]], a [[monster]] or another object passes through it, as described below. | ||

Should the search reach the original teleport, different things will happen, depending on the ruleset. In MS, it will act as a non-directional [[ice]] tile - the object will slide across it if that move is legal, or bounce back if it is not. However, a [[block]] or [[monster]] in the latter case will stick on the teleport and the teleport will cease to function. (For a demonstration of this, go to [[Drawn and Quartered]], teleport directly up to the north-east room from the start, and release the fireballs into the teleport.) In Lynx and CC2, if it is blocked on the other side, objects will stop on the tile and then treat it as floor. In Lynx, Chip will be stuck if he gets in this situation and the level must be restarted. | Should the search reach the original teleport, different things will happen, depending on the ruleset.

In CC2, [[logic gate]]s on a blue teleport network act as one-ways if their output side is on (not necessarily from the gate itself), and as gaps in the wire if it is off. Logic gates can be "occupied"; the player, monsters, and blocks can be sent to the output of a logic gate even if there's no teleport on the other side, but the next object to enter the teleport can't be sent to the same place until the current one leaves. However, the player loses all control if they switch to a Chip or Melinda in a logic gate, and if anything is in a logic gate when the level is restarted, the game will probably crash. If the game does not crash, then the | In CC2, [[logic gate]]s on a blue teleport network act as one-ways if their output side is on (not necessarily from the gate itself), and as gaps in the wire if it is off.

It is currently unknown how the game prioritizes multiple valid logic gate and teleport destinations. | |||

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.

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 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 normally pick up tools, but this can be demonstrated with yellow teleports and [[Item Bestowal]]. | ||
Yellow teleports are technically [[terrain]] | Yellow teleports are technically not items but are instead treated as [[terrain]], and thus they can only be dropped on [[floor]]. However, they cannot be dropped on a tile containing a [[no sign]] and an item, and if one is dropped on a blank no sign it will no longer be collectible. Additionally, if there is only one yellow teleport at the start of the level, it can never be picked up. | ||
