Can anyone tell me what an "Avatar Magnet" is?
I have found two of them, owned by someone else, on my land. Yet they don't show in the objects tab.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I'm betting it is some kind of device that pulls avatars towards it. Maybe it's a new griefer tool. Does it look like a magnet? Does it do anything?

thanks gaybot. they dont seem to do anything but they have sounds in the contents, but only feint.
but griefing is on my mind. so far this week, ive found an invisible sailing ship in my house, bullets stuck at 200m altitude all over the sim, a number of cages stuck mid air and a number of 120prim lifesize dolls. most of these are on other properties. None of it is from newbies, either. all profiles are long term accounts.
***scripts are painfully slow and sim is really laggy. I initially suspected the new casino, but i now have my suspicions***

From: Butch Adzebills highlight transparent, of course. LOL I was puting my money on wireframe view. Something occurs to me .. what happens to all these bullets when fired? Do they simply hog prims till removed? Actually, I wasn't so much wondering how you found the boat but more, how did it get there? I see crashed planes and cars etc lying around land but are you on waterfront Butch? |

Someone made a poorly scripted gun. The bullets should auto die after being rezzed after a certain period of time. I'll keep that in mind in case I decide to make a gun.

i'm on protected waterfront, so boats do have access. Bullets show as prim and can be seen in the objects tab. Due to previous griefing, objects and scripts are turned off on my land, so no damage is done. It's pain in the bum, more than anything.
Oh, I just remembered, i did find a car suspended at 300m last week.

One simple question... are you near a Sim edge too? A lot of innocent people lose vehicles when they hit the sim boarders. The rest of it, however, sounds like annoying griefing tools. If you can't get rid of them via auto-return, get on Help Request and see if a Linden can help.

I wouldn't build on sim borders. That whole "logic" about who's prims get returned when parcels overload etc doesn't seem to work so well in the hand-over border. You can come back and find your whole house returned to your inventory (something that shouldn't ever happen) because someone ejected (or more likely was kicked out of SL from sim-crossing lag) from their helicopter over it or something.
