Connect Spaces

You can also create portals to connect separate Spaces. This is especially helpful when planning a large event for 500+ guests. 

For this example, we are going to create a portal to a new Space using a teleporter object from the Object Picker. However, you can create a portal via a doorway or an unexpected object, like a houseplant! Do whatever makes the most sense for your Space.

Open the Mapmaker and select Objects in the Top Nav Menu. In the right panel, select More Objects. The Object Picker opens. Enter "portal" in the Search bar. Pick the portal you wish to use and then place it on the Map. 

We're going to add the teleporter to our cyberpunk-themed meeting room.

It is outlined in red, and a red arrow points from the text Place the teleporter object in the desired spot in yoru Map.

From the Mapmaker, select Tile Effects in the Top Nav Menu, and select the Stamp tool. In the Tile Effects section of the right panel, select Portal. Select the tile of the teleporter object. (We are placing a Portal tile on top of a Private tile, which is a bit difficult to see.)

The teleporter object is outlined in red, and you can vaguely see that a blue portal tile has been placed on top of the pink private tile.Select Tile Effects in the Top Nav Menu, then select the Stamp tool in the Left Nav Menu. With Portal selected in the Tile Effects, place the Portal tile effect on top of the teleporter object.

After you place the Portal tile on the teleporter object, select Portal to Another Space

A text field displays for you to paste the URL of a Space. Two buttons display beneath the text field: Back and Confirm.Copy and paste the URL of the Space you wish to connect to, then select Confirm.

Select Save in the Top Nav Menu of the Mapmaker. Return to your Space to test the portal. When you step onto the teleporter, a prompt message displays, asking you to press enter to confirm navigating to a new Space.

Note: Portals to other Spaces will lead the user to the default spawn point of that Space unless you have visited the Space before. If you have been to the Space before, you will appear where you last were.
