Help with a simple teleporter -Understanding

i'm working on this script more for my understanding of how it works, but can't for the life of me fix the problem I'm having.

Its *supposed* to teleport you 4m up, acting as a normal teleporter does, no matter where it happens to be (So a movable teleporter, like if you want to put it in a house you're selling).

What it seems to *do* is to send me about 50m away, actually into another sim, when I teleport. Aside from tthat small detail it seems to work fine

Here's my script:

ANd please.. I'm not asking for a more advanced script, I'm asking for a solution to this one, I'm trying to learn scripting and this is one puzzle I haven't been able to solve.

Thankies ^_^


vector pos;
rotate_to_zero()
{
llSetRot(<0,0,0,0>;
}
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetSitText("Teleport";
rotate_to_zero();
llSay(0, "Working";
pos=llGetPos()+<0,0,4>;
llSitTarget(pos, ZERO_ROTATION);
}
touch_start(integer number)
{
llSay(0, "Right Click and select 'Teleport' to use";
}
changed(integer change)
{
if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
{
llUnSit(llAvatarOnSitTarget());
llResetScript();
}
}
}

The vector argument to llSitTarget is an *offset*, not an absolute position, so you don't need to add the position of the object itself. (See http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llSitTarget.)

oh yeah duhr.. I was trying other methods and such and totally forgot that llSitTarget was already the offset XD

Thankies..

Can anyone explain perhaps exactly why it did what it did? The throwing me about 50 or more meters away I mean. DOesn't seem like anything in the script would do that.

because it was tring to obey the input sit target... can't remember the range for those... 300m? (for axis aligned direction)

You would roughly double the x, y and z coordinate, just adding another 4 m to your doubled height. So if you were at 50, 50, 20, you would be set to go to 100, 100, 44.

okies I get it now ^_^

It was offsetting me the distance that is actually the coordinates.. so if I'd been at 120,120,120 I would be sent 120m away on X Y and Z

Thanks much ^_^
