Hi,it's me again,i have finished a lot of systems on my game,but now,i need to make the map transaction,you know,make the character teleport from one map to the other,but i wan't to make he teleport if the character hit the side of the map that i setup on the script.Ex:I move my character,and he hits the right side of the map,my character teleports to the other map on the x 0 position,but the same y positon,i wan't to do anything like that.

So,anybody know how to do this?

Obs:.I searched the forum tutorials and looked the guide,to see if i found anything else,but i didn't.

Thanks but...I wan't to make the teleport to another map/area.
Not another floor.

.... dude what are you talking about?
You can use tags...

That does teleport to another map. The Z variable leads to another map.

You can use tags, other than that, what you're requesting makes no sense.

Wouldn't it be easier to use Entered() if you are using the /area in a specific transportation sector?

Not sure, I usually always have problems with using
Enter(),Entered() or Bump() with /areas (it may just be me though)

When you have multiple maps compiled, the reality is that, when compiled, they will not be different maps but it will be merged as one, the Z level assigned - if I remember correctly - is based on alphanumerical order.

So if you have "Banana.dmm" with 3 Z levels and "Apple.dmm" with 2 Z levels and "Orange" with 1 Z level, the following will be their Z level to DM:
Apple = 1-2
Banana = 3-5
Orange = 6


To get the Z level of the different map location, you would need to put a pointer object on the map. Let it be through the use of tag variable or a specific path: 
var/object/X = locate("tag" or /path)  //  will locate the unique tag/object
world << "Z location is [X.z]"

Calling Bump() with /area will be impossible unless it has a density.

/area is unique that, unlike /turf, all parts of /area is treated like one. So when you enter /area/X from a different /area (ex: /area/Y), Enter/ed() will be called - but if you walk from one to another same area (ex: /area/X to /area/X), Enter/ed() will not be called.

Edit: Do not forget to check the argument passed by Enter() and it's related procedure. Even if you define the argument to be a /mob, it doesn't mean that a /mob will call the procedure but other types can call it as well.

You kinda have to learn by experience where the proper placement of ..() is in your code for different, built-in functions.

So,the Z is the number of the map in order(counting too the Z of the maps)?
Wow,thank you.I'll try that.

Weird,i created the areas and put the scripts,as
ill said,but when i enter the area,nothing happens.

I already configured it and more,but this isn't are working.

and yes,i placed the areas on the map.

Obs:.The sintax checker didn't showed any error.

Is it teleporting you to a black space, or do you mean -nothing- at all is happening?

Nothing happens,when my character enter the area,nothing happened.

Try using Entered() then.
area/teleporters
    var
        X
        Y
        Z
    Entered()
        if(X&&Y&&Z&&)
            usr.loc=locate(X,Y,Z)

It worked!
Thanks you!
The map teleporting is working 100%.
Thanks your all.^^
