Im wanting to make it so that when some one presses the “E” button it actaves a teloport to a specific loation.

The item im want to teleport will be called ball I have found this code but im not quite shure how to work from it to get it to work.

var teleportTo : Transform;
function OnCollisionEnter (col : Collision) {
    col.transform.position = teleportTo.position;   
}

This code is intended to be used in a “portal” object: when other object touches the portal (to which this code is attached), it’s teleported to the teleportTo.position. It would be better to use a trigger for the portal, and OnTriggerEnter(col: Collider) instead.

Anyway, this will not solve your problem. The code you need is something like this (attach this code to the ball):

// create an empty object in the teleport destination and drag it to this variable:
var teleportTo: Transform;

function Update(){
    if (Input.GetKeyDown("e")){
        transform.position = teleportTo.position; // move the ball to the destination
        transform.rotation = teleportTo.rotation; // make it face the dest forward direction
    }
}

Maybe this rotation thing isn’t needed for a ball, but for most characters it’s important to appear in the destination always facing the same side.

NOTE: Place the empty destination object at some height above the ground: the ball will fall from this position, which is cool, and you will avoid weird effects if the destination position is too low (like the character falling through the floor - or being ejected to some random direction, if it’s a rigidbody).
