Okay, I have another strange problem in my club I can't identify.

There is a place not too far from the landing point that seems to have an invisible wall. When one walks to it, one is stopped and can't get around it. I have used "Highlight Transparent," but it shows no transparent objects.

What could be causing this?

That should show up when I "Highlight Transparent," shouldn't it?

I wonder if this is a "ghosted" prim that we occasionally hear about as someone curses about running into them? They aren't _there_ but they are to the sim. Only way I know to get rid of that is to restart the sim.

No. Invisiprims are scripted. Try viewing beacons for scripted objects.

That's the location of the strange problem. TPing into the club will take one to the landing point (158/27/401), so the weirdness is just a little away from that.

Nope, Invisiprims are a special texture, they aren't considered transparent. They are for all intents and purposes, invisible. (thus the name)

A smart and generous hedgehog came by and diagnosed the problem as a ghosted prim. Apparently I can only deal with it by asking my landlady to reboot the sim, and if that doesn't work, I need to get LL support.

I just wondered how if you know it's an invisible wall why it's a mystery?
