This time I have a level that involves a little thing at the end. The green teleporter that is supposed to take me to the other green teleporter doesn't work, but the red one does!
NOTE: There are more than two green and red teleporters in this level. But those are inaccessible. Thus- like the Red Teleporter did- the green one should've warped me to the only other accessible green teleporter.
Any idea what I can do to fix it?
Help with my level design, again

You might've just gotten lucky with the red teleporter. I don't think there's a guaranteed behavior for what happens when you have more than 2 teleporters of the same color. Most likely the game just searches for the first matching-color teleporter (open or not) it could find and that's it, probably in some simple logical order like left-to-right from top-to-bottom.
You could try repositioning your green teleporters and hope it changes which one the game finds first. If you're making a plantinum level you could also use custom textures to create fake teleporters for the inaccessible ones.

The first time I tried fixing I made the second green teleport's platform bigger. Second, I relocated the second green telelport. Finally, I put the first one at the end of a path and still the same thing.
I'll just use a texture. But two problems:
1. I don't know how.
2. I don't know how to use it in the level.
Must make RTW reference! There's got to be another way!

Malcdelsol found out years ago that when you have multiple teleporters of the same colour there is a rule thatit follows as to which one you will come out of. I can't remember exactly but I think it was you always come of the rightmost bottom teleporter. I don't know what would happen if that particular isn't 'open' to be used, whether you would go to the next one left of it or above it or what.
Try making a test level with several teleports in and see what happens.
