I was wondering if it were possible to change the direction your marble is facing when you enter a teleporter? Also, could it be possible to maintain speed through a teleporter?

Both of these features will be in PlatinumQuest, but they probably won't be included in MBP before then.

This is a trigger from MBPU that people can use as long as they give credit to HiGuy and Whirligig. It doesn't allow you to change the camera angle and teleport the marble to a specific point, but it does keep the marble's velocity and camera angle. Just paste the code into the top of the mis file (completely above the "OBJECT WRITE BEGIN" line) with a text editor and it will appear in the trigger list.

Code:

// Seamless motion trigger from the Sandbox PowerPack for MBPU by HiGuy
// Dynamic field: offset
//  - The relative position to teleport the marble to in X Y Z
datablock TriggerData(SeamlessMotionTrigger) {
	tickPeriodMS = 100;
};
function SeamlessMotionTrigger::onAdd(%this, %trigger) {
	if (%trigger.offset $= "") { %trigger.offset = "0 0 0"; }
}
function SeamlessMotionTrigger::onEnterTrigger(%this, %trigger, %obj) {
	%obj.noPickup = true;
	commandToClient(%obj.client, 'MarbleTeleport', %trigger.offset);
	%obj.schedule((%obj.client.getPing() * 2) + 100, "setFieldValue", "noPickup", false);
}

Behold, my custom levels . . . not updated for PQ.
