Hiding Teleporters

[Strill]

I have one teleporter covered by a transmutation tablet, and three covered by redpower covers. The tablet and one of the panel ones work, but the others teleport me into the ground underneath the teleporter. Does anyone know how hidden teleporters work?

Teleporters are supposed to work on the three blocks above them, meaning that theoretically you could cover them with an entire block. Never tried it myself though.

Teleporting away works fine. It's the destination that's the problem. For the two teleporters that don't work, if there's any block on top of the receiving teleporter, I fall through the ground and get stuck and have to disconnect and reconnect to get back on top of the teleporter.

Ah, I see, What about using wireless redstone to make a piston reveal the teleporter when you activate it, then cover it back up when you step off?

[Strill]

That would require that all my teleporters be next to a wall, and I don't think sub-blocks can be pushed by pistons. Can vanilla slabs be pushed by pistons?

Only double slabs.
