What command can I use to detect when any player is in a certain area?
I have tried using commands from /testfor @a[r=4.5], /tp @a[r=4.5], /entitydata @e[type=Player,r=4.5], etc. and nothing works. I want it to teleport any player within range of my machine. It kind of works as a giant portal but it doesn't work without the teleporting part (duh).
Cons: I can't use @e because there's armor stands in the area for other reasons and eventually I'm going to start spawning zombie's in the area for (also) other reasons. I am using 1.10.2 so maybe that's the reason the commands aren't working. Please answer for me and those with similar problems.

You cannot use decimal points in selectors. Try something like:
/tp @a[r=4] X Y Z
