Idea. Is it possible?

So I posted this a while ago and it never got answered, but now I think it may not be possible. I was thinking it would be *really* cool to reroute the teleporter so that you come out wherever your team warthog is. It would open up a huge new array of strategies, since you could park your warthog at the other team's base and they would have to both fend your team off and get it out of there.
But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem possible. Everything else seems to be just swapping for a value, for instance changing the rocket flight speed of a rocket to that of a sniper rifle. Is it possible to change something absolute, for instance a certain location in blood gulch, to something variable, for instance the position of a warthog?

Dude, that's easy. Just move the teleporter flag (I think) in Spark Edit.
When I say teleporter flag, I mean that it's the teleporter thingy that's under "flag."
EDIT: Sorry, didn't know what you were saying at first.

u could do all that u can move actual parts of the map like the base but the trees are scenery and the vehicles are vehicles and they can be moved. so you could reroute the teleporter.
heres something i dont think is possible shoot a teleporting stuff from your gun so when it hits the bad guy they teleport. that would be sweet.

I don't think so... It would probably just be an invisible thing, and then the person would disappear (i.e. if it could even be done).

Haha, well thank you... or your welcome... or whatever. Hm. Yeah, I was pretty excited about that, but I never heard of any progress on the second part of it, so I just thought I'd check.
