There's an item in my game that can teleport people back to the entrance of any area they've entered. Should I build the ability to return to an entrance as a fixed location, a floating fixed location, or something else?

This is what I'm using so far:

Escape Rope: 40" Teleportation, 8x Mass, 1 Fixed Location (back to the entrance), (AP 101); OAF (-1), 1 Charge (-2), Charge Does Not Recover(-2), Can Only Teleport To Fixed Locations (-1), (RC 14).

Fixed Floating, since it changes to the entrance of each new area they explore.

The trouble is that floating locations could normally be set anywhere by the user. This one is set automatically in a predefined type of location.

Not if you make it so the Floating location is always the entry area. It a legal stipulation to make, especially as your the GM! :D
