What is the Warp function?

The Warp function allows instantaneous movement between Object A and Object B by setting up the Warp feature between them.

To shuttle between objects A and B

Setting up bidirectional warping allows you to travel back and forth between Object A and B, enabling movement between these two points.

 

Only moving from Object A to Object B

Setting up the warp to be unidirectional prevents bidirectional movement, allowing warping only from Object A to Object B.
