The owner of the island I "live" on, came by doing a maintenance check on the island resources.
She seemed amazed to find 3615 scripts running on the sim. I don't know if this is more than usual or not. As far as I know, no one has complained about the island being laggy. She is an understanding and helpful landlord and I love her for it.

My teleporter turns out to be the script using the highest amount of island resources. It is a freebie and always works well.

Could anybody recommend a simple, no frills needed teleporter that consumes less energy? It does not need to be free. Multiple destinations are not necessary but would be nice.

Hmmmm, no replies.

I'm thinking that something that is "badly" scripted, may use more resources. But how does a person know when something is scripted poorly?

The teleporter I use is the Omega Drop and Go and it seems to work well!

Any suggestions?

George, I use those freebies teleporters by "Cubey." I'd be glad to send them to you to try out.

I know almost nothing about scripting, but are your teleporters somehow running all the time, even when no one is using them? I don't see how the Cubey ones are really doing anything except in the 1 second duration that someone is using them.

Have you tried resetting the scripts? As Avion said, most teleporters are idle unless actually in use.

Cubey's teleporters are great, and can be picked up in many places, including Abbotts Aerodrome and Enkythings freebie store.

If you want something simpler than Cubey's to just TP around your property point-to-point, I've posted a teleport script here in the forums for a one-click point-to-point teleport that'll work over distances of 300m within a region, without that annoying flying on landing.

I also have a menued multipoint teleport that works over distances of 1048m, so you can get up to those higher skyboxes. If you need something custom, I can probably help out.

Thanks for the replies!

I don't believe it is running all the time. You first need to click on it to activate the teleport beam, then click on that to teleport.
The only part running all the time is a texture rotation. And that can't be using any more resorces than the moving water and the birds and squirrels etc... :D
The scripts don't allow me to reset.

Cubey has a lot of great stuff. But, since this one is already set up and hasn't caused any noticable lag, I will continue to use it unless there is a real complaint.

Thanks again for the replies.
