AdvancedPortals is a portal system for Rust with a clean UI, visual portal spheres, effect presets, and an admin panel for managing everything in-game.

Create portals with multiple entry/exit points, allow bi-directional or one-way travel, optionally require permissions per-portal, and customize the entire experience with effects, sounds, cooldowns, delays, and messages.

What it does?

• Create unlimited portals with multiple entry & exit points

• Supports one-way or two-way portals

• Optional permission locking per portal

• Polished player UI (/portals) to browse available portals

• Full Admin UI panel (/portaladmin) to manage portals + settings

• Visual portal spheres using Rust’s built-in sphere entity

• Effect presets (mystical / fire / electric / silent etc.)

• Entry/exit messages + teleport sound

• Cooldown + optional teleport delay

• Auto wipes portal data when the map changes (seed/size/new save)

• Ambient portal effects (optional, timed)

Permissions :

Global permissions

• advancedportals.use
  Allows players to use portals and open the portal UI.

• advancedportals.admin

Per-portal permissions (auto-generated)

If a portal has Requires Permission enabled, the plugin will generate a permission like:

• advancedportals.use.<portal_name>

Example:

• Portal display name: "Outpost Portal"

• Permission becomes:
  advancedportals.use.outpost_portal

How portals work ?

Each portal can have:

• Entry Points (where players enter)

• Exit Points (where players appear)

When a player touches a portal entry sphere:

• The plugin picks a random exit point

• Teleports the player

• Plays optional effects + messages

One-Way behavior

If One Way = true:

• Entry points work normally

• Exit points do not teleport players back
