Hiya, all you brilliant folks!

I've had an idea and kinda need someone to figger out how to do the script.

Basically, without getting into too much, I need an elevator/teleporter/whatever thingie that will take you from one point to another.

Easy, no?

Wellllll... not really, 'cuz I need some other specifics.

1) I need it to work on a click, rather than the "Right Click and choose sit" thing. My thought was that it could use SLs "Click to sit" thing that I've seen on chairs an' stuff... if that works... not sure if it does. Just a thought.
2) I need it to take time to get there. Not instantaneous travel. I also need to be able to easily change the time it takes.
3) I need it to play an animation (looped) as the AV travels.
4)I need to be able to add points (like "Floors";). But lemme 'splain. I don't (neccessarily) want it to stop at those points, but just go, say, from point A to point B, then point C, then end at D, smothly, without stopping. If possibly, I'd also like to be able to control the time it takes to travel to each point.

Any thoughts on whether it's possible/doable and/or whether you want to do it?
Name yer price (but let's not go mental!) I jus' want this done well, fast and right.

Thanks, all... hope to hear from you soon.

1 is just an option of the prim "when left clicked: sit".
2 looks like the http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=at_target script could be used
3 animation on sit is standard ... loop depends on animation
4 points could be read from a notecard
5 on sit the 'elevator' tells the rezzer to rez a new elevator and starts moving
6 on unsit the 'elevator' dies

i think this could be hacked together and tested within a few hours ... gimmy a tell, if you are interested, and think about a tip of your choice for a few hours scripting work.

ciao,Kephra

PS: animation on sit requires a permission request ... a cache of scripts similar to the common dance ball could allow a small group to use it without asking for permissions everytime ... but would be a lot more work than a simple sit->ask permissions->move and it wont help, if your elevator is used by hundrets of random people.
PPS: please check the at_target script ... smooth performance depends on your sim lag!
