All I can think now is perhaps to have Garrett emit the object, but this will surely create a new instance of the object, and I need to be able to set up other interactions between the objects that can't rely on linking to the archetype. Perhaps Garrett could emit a teleport trap...
You can have an emitter trap emit a specific object by refering to it's object name (name you specify) instead of using the archetype name. It will have the same effect as teleporting.

aha, then that could be the answer...

I just skimmed this thread, but it looks like you're all going around in circles trying to make it much more complicated that it really is.
Set yourself up a FrobStim if you haven't already.
Add the new stim, give the Garrett archetype a receptron to Stimulate Source by Me, FrobStim, multiple by 1.0, then add 10.00.
Give the button a FrobStim source, intensity 1.00, contact, frob in world.
Guive the button a FrobStim receptron, intensities 10.95 to 11.05, teleport object, Target:
your object, Agent Object:
source.
That's all.
Re-read Totality's receptron tutorials if any of that is unclear to you:

hmm, this appears to teleport Garrett to the object, rather than teleporting the object to Garrett.

Make sure you put the right object in the right box with regards Target Object and Agent Object.
I was going to say I'd given them to you the wrong way around, but no, checking it again, I didn't. Target Object is the object to teleport, Agent Object is where you want to teleport it to.

Ah, I've figured out what's wrong. It is teleporting the object to the player, that works fine. But the button also triggers a player teleport. Unfortunately the object is teleported after the player. The set up I want is for the object to be left behind at the player's location, and then they teleport away.
Is there a way to ensure the stims happen after the trapteleporter script?
Nameless Voice on 19/3/2008 at 21:38
Don't use a trap teleporter, use a receptron to teleport the player.
Remember that, with the FrobStim setup, the Source of the FrobStim is always the player object. So, just Teleport Object, Target Object: Source, Agent Object: [You destination].
nicked on 19/3/2008 at 22:26
but of course! After swapping all the teleporttraps for stims, it all works beautifully! Thanks for your help!

Indeed. Especially useful* for teleporing objects that don't exist before the game starts ;)
Now why didn't I think about attaching the emitter trap to Garrett himself? This calls for experimentation.
*Not actually all that useful, since it changes the physics model of the emitted object.
