How to Set Up TP Home Without Enabling Teleport Abuse

Short Answer

TP home becomes abusive in three specific ways, and each has a direct counter:

Abuse	What players do	The setting that stops it
Raid escape	Teleport out the moment a fight starts	Delay — a teleport that takes time cannot outrun a fight
Loot shuttling	Farm, teleport home, deposit, repeat	Cooldown — makes round trips slower than walking
Map coverage	Set homes across the map as fast travel	Amount — cap how many homes exist per player

Set a delay first. It is the single most effective control, because it removes the instant-escape property that makes teleport abuse worth doing at all.

Prerequisites

• A connected server in Helios.
• Manage Server permission in Discord.
• A decision about whether TP home is available to everyone or only to specific roles.

Recommended Baseline

Start here, then tune once you have seen how your players use it:

1. Set a delay. Long enough that a player cannot escape an engagement, short enough that normal use is not annoying. This is the control that matters most.
2. Set a cooldown. Long enough that teleporting is not faster than running a normal loot loop.
3. Limit the number of homes. Start with one for regular players. The maximum Helios allows is 8, which is a fast-travel network, not a convenience feature.
4. Enable the teleport feed. Without it you cannot investigate any dispute.
5. Decide role access before launch, not after players have complained.

Setting It Up

Configure TP home through /settings server. The panel gives you:

• Enable — turn TP home on or off entirely
• Create — create a TP home profile
• TP Home Profile — multiple profiles mapped to different Discord roles
• List — list current profiles
• Edit — edit a specific profile
• Remove — remove a profile
• Feed — send all TP home usage to a Discord channel

Every server starts with a default profile. Begin by choosing Edit and selecting the default template rather than creating a new one.

Inside a profile you control:

• Delay & Cooldown — the two anti-abuse levers
• Give Kit — optionally grant a kit on each use
• Required Role — the Discord role this profile applies to
• Amount — number of homes for this profile (maximum 8)

Using Profiles Instead of One Global Rule

Profiles let you sell convenience without breaking balance. A common structure:

Profile	Required role	Homes	Intent
Default	none	1	Baseline convenience for everyone
VIP	VIP role	2	A perk that does not change combat outcomes
Elite VIP	Elite role	3	Upper tier, still capped well below the maximum

Handling Players Who Abuse It

You do not have to disable TP home server-wide to deal with one player. Ban that player from TP home specifically:

/tempban

Choose ban_type = Ban From TP Home. This keeps the feature available to everyone else, which is almost always the better outcome — one abuser should not cost the whole server a feature.

Common Problems

Players teleport out of fights

Your delay is too short, or zero. Increase it. This is the fix in nearly every case.

Players use TP home as fast travel across the map

Reduce Amount, and increase the Cooldown. Homes are the enabler here, not the delay.

Staff cannot resolve teleport disputes

The Feed is not enabled. Turn it on before you need it; it cannot show you events that happened before it existed.

TP home behaves oddly after a wipe

Home positions are map-specific. Re-validate TP home as part of your wipe day checklist.
