Transporters

Transporters are special items that the icon can interact with to cause it to travel a certain distance and direction, depending on its type.

There are two types of transporter, the pad, and the ring. Both pads and rings manipulate the direction of travel. The pad always activates when in contact with the icon; for the ring, the player must click in order for there to be any effect. They may be positioned so that they redirect the icon into a hazard, needing to be avoided in such instances.

Pads and rings also emit identically coloured pixel effects to themselves. They also cause an expanding circle effect when used which is also the same colour.

Transporters are available under the seventh tab in the level editor, along with portals, animated objects, collectibles and other components.

Rings

Ring type/color	Ring image	Introduced	Meltdown	World	Physics description
Yellow	File:YellowRing.png	Polargeist	Airborne Robots	Machina	Launches the player a medium height (roughly identical to a regular cube jump), for each form: Cube: Normal: 2.3833 blocks Mini: 1.35 blocks Ship: Normal: 2.85 blocks Mini: 3.5 blocks Ball: Normal: 1.733 blocks Mini: 1.1 blocks UFO: Normal: 2.1 blocks Mini: 2.2 blocks Wave: No effect Robot: Normal: 2.1 blocks Mini: 1.2166 blocks Spider: Normal: 1.633 blocks Mini: 1.05 blocks
Cyan	File:CyanRing.png	xStep	N/A	Round 1	Inverts the player's gravity and abruptly forces it towards the opposite gravity that the player was before hitting the ring.
Magenta	File:MagentaRing.png	Theory of Everything (formally) Time Machine (coin)	N/A	The Challenge	Launches the player a small height, for each form: Cube: Normal: 1.0833 blocks Mini: 0.6833 blocks Ship: Normal: 0.9 blocks Mini: 0.566 blocks Ball: Normal: 1.0166 blocks Mini: 0.65 blocks UFO: Normal: 0.66 blocks Mini: 0.366 blocks Wave: No effect Robot: Normal: 1.2166 blocks Mini: 0.766 blocks Spider: Normal: 0.7833 blocks Mini: 0.5 blocks
Green	File:GreenRing.png	Deadlocked	N/A	The Challenge	Inverts the gravity of the player and launches the player a medium height (the same with the yellow ring), for each form: Cube: Normal: 2.3833 blocks Mini: 1.35 blocks Ship: Normal: 2.85 blocks Mini: 3.5 blocks Ball: Normal: 1.733 blocks Mini: 1.1 blocks UFO: Normal: 2.1 blocks Mini: 2.2 blocks Wave: No effect Robot: Normal: 2.1 blocks Mini: 1.2166 blocks Spider: Normal: 1.633 blocks Mini: 1.05 blocks
Red	File:RedRing.png	Fingerdash	N/A	N/A	Launches the player a large height, for each form: Cube: Normal: 4.533 blocks Mini: 2.866 blocks Ship: Normal: 4.533 blocks Mini: 3.5 blocks Ball: Normal: 3.66 blocks Mini: 2.266 blocks UFO: Normal: 4.3 blocks Mini: 2.3166 blocks Wave: No effect Robot: Normal: 4.433 blocks Mini: 2.75 blocks Spider: Normal: 3.566 blocks Mini: 2.133 blocks
Black	File:BlackRing.png		N/A	N/A	Forces the player towards the gravity that the player currently is. If the ring is hit once the player is grounded, it will have no effect. In case of upside-down ship and UFO, this acts as a red jump ring, but if used suddenly (i.e. halfway after a green orb), it will send you straight up in the air.
Green Dash Orb	File:GreenArrow.png		N/A	The Challenge	Suspends the player in linear motion.
Magenta Dash Orb	File:MagentaArrow.png		N/A	The Challenge	Suspends the player in linear motion and inverts the gravity once hit.
Customizable Square	File:CustomRing.png	N/A	N/A	N/A	Acts as a toggle trigger once hit by the player.

Trivia

• Prior to their formal introduction, the yellow pad is encountered in The Seven Seas, the cyan pad in Back On Track and Polargeist, the magenta pad in Can't Let Go, and the magenta ring in Time Machine, as part of collecting Secret Coins.
• The customizable square ring is the only type of transformer in which its colour can be changed without the use of the Pulse trigger.
• The magenta pad, despite launching the icon a smaller height, is of a larger size than the yellow pad.
• The green and black rings are the only ring to not have a pad equivalent.
  • This is because the pad would force the player to the ground, which is contradictory to the pad's initial purpose, which is to launch.
• Arrows can be rotated to send the icon in an angled direction, the rotation limit being ±70°.
  • The limit can theoretically be 89.9999° (or 89° since the game doesn't use decimal places for the rotation), but then the linear movement reaches ludicrous speeds.
  • Using angles 90° and 270° is necessarily prohibited due to the fact that the tangent of 90° and 270° is not defined and therefore meaning that the player would crash or land on the ground in an instant. It could potentially cause the game to crash due to the tangent not being defined.
  • Using angles between 90° and 270° would mean to invert the speed of the player to go to the left (or right in mirror mode) for as long as the orbs are active.
    • It is possible to do this using the flip tool in editor mode, however, the look is only visual and doesn't affect the direction of travel.
• The arrow orbs can be held on to indefinitely, propelling the player for as long as it is held. They will only stop when the player comes into contact with an S-block. Portals do not cancel the dash orb effect, contrary to popular belief.
  • This belief was caused by Fingerdash, where RobTop used the S block alongside a gravity portal corresponding to the gravity that the player is intended to finish on so as to prevent abusing of the dash orbs in the level.
• Making contact with yellow and magenta pads and rings with the wave will trigger their animation despite the wave not interacting.
• Prior to Update 2.1, the yellow jump ring had white particles emitting instead of yellow.
• Both the black ring and red pad display the wrong particle colors when used. The black ring produces a blue circle upon usage and the red pad produces a yellow circle when hit.
  • The two objects may be based on the code of the blue ring and yellow pad and RobTop may have forgetten to change it, thus this is the result.
• Hitting a green ring using the wave will invert its gravity but will not obscure its diagonal travel.
• The red pad is thicker than the yellow pad. It also sinks below the block by 1 pixel.
• The magenta arrow was previously red as shown on the sneak peeks for 2.1, and still has red particles. All arrow orbs were also triangular.
• The green arrow help button when selecting the "Edit Special" button displays the placeholder "help text" rather than explaining the properties of the options shown. This is a placeholder that was never changed yet in the final version.
  • Multi-activation allows the same jump ring to he activated multiple times. This is best observed when the ring moves. For the black ring and both dash rings, a line of jump pads must be placed below to return the player up to the ring.
• Jump rings in the ground can still activate as if they are in the air, as seen in Deadlocked.
• Even if you have the glow effect on, when you hit a dash ring, it will not show the glow.
