TeleportFog targets the actor being teleported

[StrikerMan780]

Would it perhaps be possible to make teleport fog target the actor that had teleported? I want to do inventory checks on players that go through teleporters, and change the fog's appearance based on this. (For Team-Colored Fogs in DM in my case.)

I can think of a few other uses for this... Such as giving the player an inventory item that disrupts teleportation, which causes the player to get killed, and show a strange teleport fog. Another use could be a Powerup that makes it so there is a radius damage around the player when they teleport, killing nearby monsters and players.

This should affect the fog that shows when players spawn in DM as well.

I can think of a few other uses for this...

Giving different teleport fogs to different monsters (e.g., a larger fog for cyberdemons and a smaller one for lost souls).

Yep, that too.

I strongly approve of this idea.

However, I'd like to consider what would happen in a case of two fog actors: Source and destination. Ideally, one could diferrentiate between the two in order to make better effects.

Further, it would be most helpful if the telefog could spawn into a different state for respawning actors, as opposed to sharing the same one as teleports. (Or even better, allow telport/actor-respawn/item-respawn actors to be selected through [wiki=GameInfo_definition]MapInfo/GameInfo[/wiki].)

Maybe re-use the Melee and Crash states again?

Small change, simply sets the teleport fog's target field to the thing being teleported.
