Scripting related help... nooby question

Hello,

I’m a nooby to all of this and like some scripting help.

I found a TP script at the scripting library named: “Portring – Automatically create a ring of teleporters” by Neo Rebus but having trouble understanding some of the instructions came with the script. I have IM Neo. Since I haven’t got any replay I decide to post these questions.

Instruction says:
To create a teleportation system, you need to create the following objects:
"Previous", "Next", and "Base" teleporter objects. These are the objects that will be placed at the base and at the various teleport stations. Each may be any arbitrary linked set of objects, and may have any name as long as all are unique. The root of the linked set must include the PortRing Porter script.

Question:
Here, is he referencing to creating objects such as a ring, or a box or any other tangible object? And name them accordingly?

Instruction says:
"Creator" object: Once the teleporter objects are created, drop them into the Creator object, along with the PortRing Creator script.

Question:
Here, is he referring again to a physical object such as a ring or a box? And if that is the case how do I drop an object into another object? I know how to drop a notecard or a script to an object but not an object to an object.

I have more questions but I think that’s enough for now if anyone be kind enough to help me.

Hope I can help you (although, I don't know this porter-system)...



The objects «Previous», «Next» and «Base» are «real» objects such as a cube or a sphere or whatever. When you build them as a Linkset (a.k.a. multiple objects, linked together), the root prim has to contain the PortRing Porter script. To make a prim the root prim, make sure it's the last one you select, before choosing «Link» from the Tools-menu. The root prim in a linkset will always have a yellow frame when you select the linkset, whereas the child-prims hav a blue frame. To make this easier, just drag a square with your mouse around all obects - which will select all objects - de-select the prim you want to be the root-prim and select it again.



Again - the creator-object is a «real« object (such as a cube, or a sphere...). To drop an object into another object, take the object to be dropped into your inventory and then drag it into the contents of the target-object from there. Be aware that you _have_ to take the object (prim/linkset) to be dropped into your inventory first - you can't drop a rezzed obect into another object.

HTH

Thanks Haruki!!

I see, now I know why I coudn't drop the object, Because I had both objects rezzed when I tried it. So now let me go and try it! Im sure I might have more question futher down... thank you again your help.
