sit teleport within a building

I'd like to have a sit teleport within a building. You'd touch the teleporter to go upstairs. Ideally I'd like to have it linked to the building without taking over the sit target for everything in the building, and this doesn't seem to be possible. Right?

If I set a sit target, even from a child prim, you no longer have the option to, say, sit on the railing. Right?

If you can touch the child prim you can sit on it. If it is the only prim in the linked set with a sit target set I guess it will be sat on no matter where you try to sit on the linked set

Sit targets are not really attributes of any prim in a linkset, but rather of the linkset as a whole. The avatar effectively becomes another prim in the linkset.

What I generally do in a case like this is instead mount rezzers at the desired tp pad locations. If you move the house etc, all you have to do is issue the command and new touch pads will rez just in front of the rezzers. It's not to much of a problem to script them so that they will update the tp pads with the new locations etc automatically or make it to where you can kill the tp pads before you move etc.

I had thought I might rez the touch pad but I don't want it forgotten if the building is moved, and I'd like to not complicate things with communication and movement and object killing, as I fear something unanticipated will go wrong and I'll fill the sim with tp pads, so my current thinking is to rez a temp object which will kill itself when used, or failing that be auto-deleted. The user would touch the piece of floor where the tp pad should be and it would appear. They'd touch the rezzed object to teleport, and it would do its thing and then kill itself. Or if they didn't touch it it'd be auto-deleted some time later, anyway.

The building is a photo studio and I want the tp pad to be invisible. Ideally it'd be an invisible prim at a specific location, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that simply since it can't be linked to the building.

I thought you could rez an object already temp, but apparently you can't. You set it temporary after it rezzes. This is no better for my purposes than a timed llDie, so making it temp is pointless.

Just take it into inventory with the temp property already set. I do that all of the time, especially testing stuff that may go wild.

Thanks. I now have multiple checks against creating multiple tp pads.

1) It rezzes over top of the prim that rezzes it, so you can't keep touching it to rez more copies
2) It llDies after 15 seconds
3) It's temporary

That should do it

Or since you have the temp flag set, it will die without having to use a timer and llDie() command within about 55 seconds or so. Not sure what happens with llDie() and a seated (teleporting) avatar. With temp, if they sit before the next sim cycle, the object does not die until the av stands up.

I want it to die fairly quickly, so the llDie stays, but if the script isn't running for some reason, and that seems to happen sometimes, temp should still kill it.

If you kill a prim that it being sat upon, the avatar is un-sat.

It's working just the way I want it. If the user sits on it, he is teleported and it dies immediately. If he doesn't sit on it it's deleted in fifteen seconds.

The one snag is that when un-sat, the avatar sometimes flies around the room violently, and is occasionally ejected through the wall of the building *and* the wall of my laboratory, and stops clear across the sim. I think it might have something to do with flight assist. The fix for this is to sleep a couple seconds before un-sitting. Not ideal, but gets the job done.

Pre-set the "TP beam" to phantom helps abit on the crazy flying too

This is almost always caused by the end location putting the avatar's physics shell inside a prim. Try bumping the z coordinate on the destination by 1.

Why do you want it to die faster than the 50-90 seconds it takes a temporary object to die?
