An Example
To the right is one possible combination a visitor may take. After teleporting to you in your dorm room, they go through the portal in the Storm House hub, and then the Midday Estate. When they decide to leave the Midday Estate, they will go back to the Dorm Room and begin again to see the other houses.
This visual shows where the portals are going to. The violet portal heads to the Storm House. This is color association. By using violet, it is a hint without needing to use a sign where they are about to go.
This works rarely. Most of the time, we need to put a sign nearby, or in the portal to show where people are going.
I consider stuff like this a necessity, after buying bundles and houses no one wants them to hide in there backpack. I highly recommend everyone embrace this for convenience and Castle Tours 😛
a couple of thoughts:
i have 34 houses and the dorm. so when you have a large number of houses, you need a larger space to use for the hub. i am using the battlemage keep. some people use the customizable signs, i have placed items either on the wall or next to each teleporter to indicate which house it is. ie i used the ravenwood banner to indicate the dorm or the school banners to indicate the school houses. three piggy banks, a wooden bucket, and a cauldron for the fairytale castle.
the other issue i have seen is when you forget where the teleport spot is and move something over it. this causes your, or your visitors, to get caught. i use the small lunar rung as my landing point to keep me aware of the landing point. i also use the same color teleporter to go back to the hub. i used to have a purple for the dorm and blue for the hub, but removed all of the dorm teleporters except from the hub. it is near my landing point for the hub
i have also noticed that sometimes the teleporters do not work from the dorm, once or twice a week. i usually leave the dorm, do a loop around the lamp post and back in. sometimes it is really finicky and need to quit the player and go back in.
teleporters are finicky too close to the bank and some other items/locations, ie the minotaur in the acropolis.
