*** IF *** Unit '<"Any Object">' enters area 'Tele1' *** THEN *** Teleport Unit '<This Object>' to Waypoint 'Tele1w'.(Any Object doesnt exists)

I have a question. Is it possible to teleport any unit that enters a area to a waypoint (in the World Builder (bfme2))?

Sadly, the game engine can't work with references like "triggering unit", etc.
Here's a possible workaround that does the job:
"Portal Exit" is the teleport exit.
"Portal Exit WalkTo" is where units walk to when they exit from Portal Exit (prevents a bug)
Use an object as portal, on team "PlyrCivilian/Portal1" (can be a rock or anything)
As you see this script only works for a single unit type at a time, for one player.
You'll have to make copies and change the unit types as you need for your map.
Here's a possible workaround that does the job:
*** IF *** Player '<All Players>' has Greater Than 0 unit or structure of type 'GondorFighter' in the area 'Portal Area' *** THEN *** Find unnamed 'GondorFighterHorde' Owned by Player 'Player_1' nearest team Team 'PlyrCivilian/Portal1' and reference as UnitRef 'TeleportedUnit' Play Sound 'SpellArrowVolleyStomp' as though it was a 2D sound (NOT RECOMMENDED for 3D sounds). Teleport Unit 'TeleportedUnit' to Waypoint 'Portal Exit'. Move Unit 'TeleportedUnit' to Waypoint 'Portal Exit WalkTo'.(unckeck "deactivate after success" and set the "Evaluate script every X seconds")
"Portal Exit" is the teleport exit.
"Portal Exit WalkTo" is where units walk to when they exit from Portal Exit (prevents a bug)
Use an object as portal, on team "PlyrCivilian/Portal1" (can be a rock or anything)

I was never too sure if Local Unit and all that doodah actually worked. Apparently not.

If I had worldbuilder on this comp, I could load one of my old maps and tell you an easier way 
Alas, I don't...I forget what it was...

I have a very interesting workaround that I made some time ago, I can dig up the info if you want. It does use map.ini, but you can probably use a direct copy paste of my code.
Video of what it does
Basically I wtfpwned the CaH teleport ability, gave it to a building (can be invisible or even off map if you want) and then made a script that says to use the ability whenever a unit enters the area.
