But I realize now that it's not really explained how to use them if you know nothing about mapping :p

So, basically you have two different kind of teleporters: checkpoint tele (cp) and normal tele. Both in a red and blue version.
You place a FROM teleporter with any number (e.g. 1, chosen in the top toolbar of the editor while tele layer is selected) of any color somewhere. Then you place a yellow TO teleporter with the same number somewhere and it should teleport you there now.

Checkpoint teleporters (red/blue CFROM and yellow CTO) work slightly different but you don't need these tiles yet.
WEAP and HOOK work different as well, but you don't need them right now.

Maybe this will help you too: https://ddnet.org/explain/

You're welcome <3
Added this explanation to the Mapping ABC. If there is anything more I should explain more beginner-friendly, just write here :)
