osTeleport Agent

[Dot Macchi]

Also, can anyone explain to me how to figure out the vector for "vector direction = <0,0,0>; " - how do I figure out how to make the avatar face a particular direction?

I'll see if I can find out what vector to use for different compass directions. It'll probably involve inworld experimentation rather than reading about vectors and quaternions.

I've tried all sorts of variations in the last hour or so, and if I am using it to teleport between worlds I always wind up facing east no matter what. If I am using it to teleport within a one region world, my lookat isn't changed at all, I just face the direction I was facing when i clicked the teleport object. I swear I had this working a few months ago. At the time, I was making a basic teleporter between floors. And I had set the look at to point the avatar toward the main area of the given floor. I swear it worked then!!

I believe you.

Well, llMapDestination doesn't do anything with the lookat vector either so I guess it's at least consistent with that. On the other hand, the new LSL llTeleportAgent does use lookat so maybe that works.

Unfortunately, according to the wiki, llTeleportAgent only works for the owner of the object.

What a waste! Looks like it's been implemented that way in OpenSim too: http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6341
Did you check?

[Ohn Lang]

No, i had assumed OS would implemented it in the same way as SL for backward compatibility. LL handicapped several of the newer functions which made them quite useless IMO. I think in some cases, they had to because after creating the functions they learned that there were serious security issues, griefing-made-easy style.

I use the osTeleport Agent for a "telemap" on my region. It works well for teleporting others around to different regions in my world. I made a HUD using it and it took me a while to figure out why the HUD only worked for me (because of the osTeleportAgent). The osTeleportOwner seems to work well in the Telemap HUD.

Tried changing vectors on OsTeleportAgent and I'm still looking NE. I should have remembered this before, but it's been a while since I placed them. When I placed my teleporters, I wanted to have the avatar be able to find them easily when they landed, so I played with the vectors. Finally ended up placing them in relation to where the avatar was looking instead of changing the direction the avatar faced.

I may be way off base as I do not script but only sometimes can modify, so I dont really understand all this for the most part, but perhaps what is needed is another tp script? In any case, I use this grid map tp script often. If it isnt what is needed, sorry to interrupt, pls proceed without me-))

I don't know much more than how to modify scripts either Minethere. Always have the feeling the real coders want to say "that's not what we're talking about Marstol, hurry along and let the adult scripters talk..."
