Teleporting Problems

I have a teleport script, that I enter the cords I want to teleport to, but it doesn't seem to work, I am trying to make it teleport from one area of the sim to the next... can someone help me?

Does it just not teleport at all?

Is the location more than 300m away?

Are you making sure to use negative values or values over 256 to indicate you want the next sim over?

nope not more than 300... it is in the same sim... and umm negative values for what? who? when? where? I am confused on that part lol.

And it does teleport me, just not where I want to go lol

Ohhh. I thought when you said one part of the sim to the next, you meant the next sim.

Zero your rotations on the object.

I tried that too... and I dont even go remotley close to where it is intended to go . *cries*

You're doing it as an offset, right?

<Placeyouwanttogototoday> - llGetPos()

yes... I think so...

ok... I give up.

If you're using the sit hack to do it, then the rotation of the prim counts for a lot. You'll either have to calculate the relative position factoring in the rotation of the prim, or set it to <0,0,0>. The sit destination ends up 'drifting' away from the destination point as the prim is rotated away from zero and needs to be accounted for.

Had the same issue with my customizable teleporter object (yes, shameless plug here, buy it in Gerstle or near the telehub in Montara), ended up just requiring the prim to use zero rotation. Calculating relative rotation offsets hurt my head too much.
