Description

This little system allows a DM to spawn in a "Custom Area Transition" on the fly during game play. Whether it's a magic portal, a transition you forgot to make in Toolset, or whatever, I think this could come in handy.

The DM simply creates the invisible placeable, waits a few seconds (works based on heartbeat) and the first invisible portal appears. The DM goes to the area they wish to link together and repeats the process and voila! A new area transition created on the fly :)

In case anyone downloaded the older version and had trouble with area transitions not working correctly after the initial set (third transition on all linking to first) that was a single line of code I forgot. Sorry. The current version should work flawlessly.
