A bit of help with some UT99 coding with teleporters

I've recently been doing some UT99 mapping and have had multiple needs for a teleporter that sets the player in a specified direction once he/she has teleported.

I ran across this code below and have tested it in online play. This code works great but there is no visible teleporter effect (like navpoint>teleporter>visibleteleporter (mesh effect))

After reading up on unreal script and giving it the good ol self try (which failed multiple times) I am unable to implement this visible mesh effect with this new teleporter code.

Any help would be greatly apprecaited

* TeleporterEnterDelay specifies, how long the teleporter is disabled after *
* someone entered it. *
* bFixedExitRotation specifies, that the player's rotation after exiting this *
* teleporter should be set to the teleporter's rotation. *
* *
* To make the delay work, set bStatic=False and bNoDelete=True in defaults. *
