I was never a big fan of this. When you teleport, your heading is changed.
So even if you back across the line.... And your velocity is set to zero,
which is a problem if you're running from someone. A BIG problem if they're
fast enough to teleport over you. I prefer to only use teleportation for
teleporters myself. Just my $.02.

Although the engine does not support it, there is a good way to fake
it. Make the intersection a separate sector and use linedefs in the
approach corridors raise and lower it to the proper floor level. You
need to make the triggers sufficiently far away that the player can't
see it raising or lowering. This will also not work well with multi
player games. For a level that uses it, download my level, Crusher.
In the south-central level, there is an overpass. (Entry corridors
at north of outside wooden room and west wall of cage room)

I thought that this is impossible with the DOOM engine.
Sure would be good if we could, though
