Yes. You will need to add a script to your porthole and have a waypoint for the location you want it to go.  

The scripting froum may be a better place to ask for help with the script, If you need help with it.

               Indeed and as a sidenote to that you will have to attach a conversation to it as well if you want it to have more than one location option.

               Basically a "portal" in the toolset is just a placeable without any functionality.  It's like placing a plant.  Anything you want to happen with the portal you have to code up using scripts, triggers and conversations.

               In the portal placeable, you need to put a script in "onused". If you want help creating the script for teleporting, starting the conversation, etc. you can use this useful tool: http://nwvault.ign.c...r.Detail&id=625
