What Will Your Landing Point Be Like?

The P2P teleporting in 1.8 is around the corner. Where people land will be based on the landing point you set on your property. I already see the future and see people making creative landing points. It should be for some fun stuff ahead.

I am partial to traps, so if you tp to me on my land, you might find yourself in a no exit jail cell! So, what will yours be like?

I've been thinking about making some cheap prefab houses recently.. And was at a loss as to where to put them, as I have the prims, just not the room.. But with this I think I might create a platform and make people teleport straight to it if they teleport to my land..

Exactly what I was thinking.

Unless you teleport to the plot next door, that is

OR go furniture shopping in, oh I dunno, Temotu?

I'm going to make a large box around my landing point, alpha textured with lots of physical balls in it. People will land and be trapped in a transparent room with lots of bouncing balls. Welcome to Boardman!

"Don't mind that, it's just someone at the front door."

I'm a traditionalist. I'll stick up some Everquest-style "wizard spires".

Nothing changes in that respect. The landing point has been the same on my Tavarua land pretty much since day one, back in January.

Really nice view from that point too (especially with the InnerLife plot in the distance), but since there is no TH on the island its true p2p already.

Could the Fruit Brute be far behind?

My landing point is whatever Aimee Weber sets it to.

My landing point will be a Telehub Replica, nothing like the terror brought on by flash backs. It'll be my favorite past time just watching people spaz out like shell shocked war vets.

The entire sim I live in is group-owned land, so for me it is academic. It's most likely to default to the telehub next to the sandbox on the South edge of our sim.

However, if I could define an entry point for the sub-section of group-owned land that I help to maintain, it would be at the edge of the area where my home is, right between the two guardian fox statues and under the large red Torii Gate that spans the pathway leading to my home. It is the formal entrance to our part of the sim, after all, and it's just a short walk from there, down the hill to our front door. Polite guests would not mind the walk from the entry gate, and less-wanted guests would rez well outside our home.

Hahahaha... that's a GREAT idea. Hilarious, watch those eyeballs pop out of their virtual sockets and the renderflesh will quiver. You'd certainly terrify me!

The Rodeo portion of the Forest of Kahruvel takes up almost the whole region. No matter where in Rodeo I set the landing point it always returns back to the center of this area near the western edge. I can't figure out why. I've bug-reported it and had Lindens come and check it out and they can't figure it out either.

...the far end of a firing range?

A firey pit of snakes.

*sets landing point to Aimee Weber's Lap*

BWA HA HA HA HA!!!

I forsee a lineup of people wanting to teleport to Aimee!

Despite wanting to make the default be "no landing point" until somone either sets it to "any" or sets a landing point... I think mine will be "anywhere".

Though making it a tiny square at the opposite end of the sim from my land, right where the telehub is now, has some attraction.

Ooh! This is a cool idea. I'd make mine look like the conical jail cell you link into at the start of Riven. That'd be awesome.

Sadly, though, I have to let my customers come near the product so they can look at it, so I'll not be able to try this out. Someone else should, though.

A nice little cage, Riven style.

Yeah, a cage that brings the interloper before me would be kind of cool.

If they're cool enough, I'll let them out.

I plan to move the one at Fate Gardens around weekly or so. The whole point of the place is that it's never quite the same when you come back. Heck it's never even quite the same after I've been away a few hours.

So it seems approriate to alter the landing point and let people wander from there. The path is a giant circle anyway.

Maybe I should make a Bush sign to land next to... one that says, "It's your money. You paid for it."

I already have a jail cell... just try to use my teleport device and you'll land in it.

I suspect that putting a cage, jail, or other obstruction around the landing point will be considered a CS violation under the "objects which inhibit another residents ability to enjoy Second Life" clause.
