What a clever bind! I'm definately implementing this.
Great stuff, thank you for posting it. I just picked up teleport and this'll make it much easier for me to make good use of it.
just so you know, i read that Mantid and co have set up a bind global channel. if you want in just /chanjoin bind
I've been using the lshift+lbutton bind for Teleport, and until recently it worked great. But about a week ago, I started having to click the lbutton 2x while shifted to get the bind to work. If I clicked once, it just pulled up the targetting animation and nothing happened. Sometimes it still works automatically, though, which makes it annoying.
Any ideas what's going on? I have a lot of other binds that use lshift+<key>, is that messing up the teleport bind?
Thanks in advnace for any help you can give me.
You are probably just getting red-circled. If you try to target somewhere that the game doesn't like, the targetting circle will appear (in red), and will not allow the teleport to complete until the targeting circle is moved somewhere that it likes.
Yes, it is annoying.
Hmm. I'll check that, but I think I was getting the normal white target.
I was having the same problem. I think it is the red circle, thing, but it's hard to see the circle sometimes, especially when zoomed way out. I'm gald I didn't try this earlier. I used to get horrible lag all the time. I still get enough so that I'm not sure tp is going to be viable for me. Every time I tp away from one pack of mobs, I wind up in another. Still, this guide is great. I would have already given up without the lshift bind and the /camdist suggestion.

Hey Blasto. I've nopticed the same thing recently and it seems to be an issue with the Specific Key use.
IE, if you just used Shift instead of LShift, it should work everytime without creating a target first and getting stuck the second time you try to port.
...Though to fix that, you'll need to type /bind lshift+lbutton nop, and then type /bind shift+lbutton ...blah-blah-blah
Hi, I want to bind my 4 key. I have tried many combinations using this thread, but cannot get it right. The lclick & teleport bind is nice, but somtimes I try to click a foe & miss. Then I am somewhere I do not want to be. Tabbing will get me to the target I want, but it takes too long with many foes around me. Here is one that I think is close but will not activate. The circles do come up:
/bind 4 "lbutton$$powexec_name teleport"
I would settle for press 4 for rings & then press R for activate. I will be forever gr8ful for help :-D
There is no slash command which does the left click action, so you will always have to use the mouse to select your destination.
My Ill/FF Controller uses Teleport as if it were a primary attack power. My Phantom Morons have a bad habit of running up to various mobs and agroing them ontop of me. Well, I was trying out new tactics and found one I truely love. I set out some Morons, put up PFF, then TP across and out of the agro range of a mob. My Morons will run upto and take out the mob while I TP in, Flas, and TP back out... I've not yet found a group that this does not work with... then again, I'm only level 27...
I have hover and fly, and I get really frustrated with fly because it's so slooooow. On the other hand, it's extremely safe. 
I used to have Recall Friend but respecced out of it. Now that my D3 has hit 30, I'm seriously considering picking up Recall Friend again, AND Teleport. I would keep both fly and teleport for a while and use them in conjunction with each other. If I decide that it's a waste of a power, I can always respec (I have one available), drop the fly, and slot some flight speeds into hover.
I never thought I'd like teleport (although I always found Recall Friend very useful) until I did the Terra Volta trial the other day and then copied myself multiple times to the Training Room. There I tried out all the different travel powers. To my utter shock, the one I enjoyed the most was Teleport! It's fast, it's efficient, and it's quite a rush to zap from one side of a zone to the other! By having hover also, it makes it pretty safe. I have stamina four or five slotted at this point and with one end reduction SO in teleport, I found that I never had an end problem at all.
Anyone else waste their talent spots on having both fly AND teleport? I really think I'm going to try it, though I'll probably end up dropping to just hover eventually. I know people say it's a waste to have more than one travel power, but I really think of teleport as a strategic choice and not just a travel ability.
I want a bind that activates the targeter for teleport when I push it once (which I can do easily) and deactivates it when I push it again if I decide not to teleport at just that time (which I absolutely CANNOT GET TO WORK!!). It works this way when it's on the power tray and I hit the number key, but when I bind it it doesn't. What is the proper bind command for this?
Even better, is it possible to make it such that holding down one key activates the targetter and letting go deactivates it? I mean, is there a way to bind the activation of teleport to lshift being pressed and the deactivation of teleport to lshift being released, so I always AND only get the targetter/option to teleport while lshift is held down? That would be best, for me.
Thanks.

I have both Fly and TP on my 45 MA/Regen scrapper. Fly is 4 slotted for speed, Hover is 6 slotted for speed and TP is 6 slotted 4 range/2 end reduction. I used to have Super Jump but when I came up on 40 I wanted easier travel in the Shadow Shard, so I respecced to Fly/TP. I ended up re-respeccing to get Hover due to the Knves of Artemis and their darned caltrops!
I now fight full time in Hover and hit Fly for short hops to the next group (bound to shift+space). I use TP for lng distance tarvel, of course, and for the following attack: Focus Chi > TP into the center of a nice group and, while TP animation goes, I hit Dragon's Tail. This take almost anything to half health. I did that th eother day into a group of 6 Alley Cats and got a crit on each one for a complete group one shot. I plan on doing repeatedy eventually while recording a demo because it just made me giggle like a schoolgirl. Nothing beats that feeling.
As far as how many slots I used (total of 8), I like the way I can fight like this. Nothing can fly out of range and I would only put the slots somewhere I wouldn't really want them anyhow. Anyhow, Fly and TP is a great combination. I am faster than anyone else (went from one end of IP to the other in 1 minute 20 seconds the other day), never run out of endurance due to Quick Recovery/Stamina 6 slotted and I have all the vertical movement I want.
i'm wondering how you reply to tells while tp'ing, if you have a macro of "say can't talk teleporting" and you hit backspace to reply then that macro, would that work? is there a separate code for a bind or macro specifically to reply to a tell?

Here's one that I just bound recently that I simply love:
/bind shift+lbutton "powexec_name teleport"
To telepory, just hold down the shift button and click somewhere. When you click you both activate the power and select the location at the same time. Now all you have to do is click away and you will go there. When you no longer want to teleport where you click, just let go of the shift key.

I usually find it easy to just hit esc to abort the tp.

The variant that I use is:
/bind lcontrol+lbutton "camdist 115$$powexec_name teleport"
This zooms the view out a bit which makes it much easier to pick spots to TP to. Increase or decrease the 115 based on yuor monitor settings or preference. You can tp to other side of high wall you are standing next to, pick from one of several rooftops to aim for, chain tp across a zone around buildings, etc. page down resets your zoom when you are done.
Like lcontrol button better because my fingers find it more easily than lshift.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to automate a reply to a tell. So you are limited to either an extremely short response like "nntp", which of course no one would understand, or you can do what I usually do, plummet to the ground while making a reply. At higher levels the falling damage is pretty low, and if you are going to missions in low level zones, you don't have to worry about enemies on the ground (well, except for their cruel laughter at your splatting on the ground).
Other things you could try:
<ul type="square">[*]Compose a "Can't talk teleporting" message in Notepad. Copy it to the clipboard. When you get a tell hit [backspace][ctrl+V][enter].[*]If you have a smallish group of people who regularly send you tells while you port, make a "Can't talk, teleporting" bind for each of them (global chat names work better here).[*]If you have a somewhat larger group of folks, put 'em on your friends list and respond to tells by sending to the friends channel. Use the supergroup channel if they are in that group.[*]Don't reply right away, land somewhere and start your reply with: "Sorry, I was teleporting"[/list]

/powexec_name teleport, like you are most likely using in your bind, is the correct command, both for bringing up the targetting cursor, and for dismissing it. But, the dismissal only seems to work if the teleport power is in a visible power tray.
As for your second request, this wouldn't work since the same command brings the targeting cursor up and dismisses it. If you actually teleported while shift was held down in this scheme, you would get the targetting cursor again when you released the key.
grotus, i love you
me and the rest of the teleporters out there who are horrible at keybinding will cherish this thread to the end of our days

I'm a bit wrong about this, the teleport power just needs to be in a tray, it doesn't need to be one of the active (visible) ones.

And I'm a bit wrong here as well, powexec_unqueue will cancel the teleport target, so you can use the following bind to bring up the targetting cursor when lshift is pressed, and dismiss it when lshift is released. (thanks Innovator for the bind)

Hi all, can anyone tell me what the bind for recall friend is that alloes you to lshift (or what ver key you want) and click so that the power activates and targets in one action? Thanks.
[/ QUOTE ]
I haven't done it myself, but I imagine it'd go something like this:
bind lalt+lbutton "powexec_name Recall Friend"
To use it, you would probably have to have a teammate targeted already, then alt+click near yourself to port them to that spot.
