I was wondering if it's possible to set up a security orb so that it doesn't send someone home, or out of the parcel, but to a different TP point within the same sim (or even same parcel).

Have a setup with home on ground and business in sky. People with failed teleports end up at home, and then they get rudely ejected. Would prefer a more graceful solution - like sending them back to the business area - but still want privacy on the ground level.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

No, Linden Scripting language can't do that. Only eject or teleport home.

You could try asking in the scripting tips forum.

Why are failed teleports ending at home?

Because the building is over 1024 meters up?

Or because there's a landing point in your house?

In the former case, why don't you set up a landing platform beneath the store, below 1024 meters, with a teleporter to the store?

In the latter case, you might put the parcel's landing point in the store.

Can you set a landing point for the parcel and then all teleports in would go there?

errrr - yeah, like Argent said.

Thanks for your replies.

Landing point / business is set at 950m high. Don't know why failed TPs end up on ground level, but they do. They don't fall down to ground level, failed TPs just end up there. Has happened to me too.

Having the place set so high was supposed to be a "feature" because there are no other buildings/skyboxes/etc. in view even when draw distance is set very high.

(But it's a frustration because cannot post events when landing point is over 768 m. Pssst. others who are interested ... please vote for this to be fixed at http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-814 ... thanks! )
