I am below you,

I am below all the scripters of sl, I admit that.

So this is why I call on those who are better than me to help me in my crusade to make something cool.

What i need is a tp system for my ship, and since it is a multimove sandbox ship. So for the tp system to work with a multimove ship it needs some kinds of comunication between the tp spots to update tp cordinates.

Usually i would never ask online for help with creating a script, I would go and take advantage of the genious coder friend down the street from me, but he hasnt played in a while.

So I go to you, who are those better than me, to help us multimove abusers.

You could make a target prim with a timer set at 5 secs or so for example and make that prim llSay it's position in the timer and then update the sit target to that pos. If you want to avoid timers you could make a prim below the teleporter, like on the floor, with a collission detector that would llSay a request for the position of the target prim when an avatar steps on it, the target prim could llSay it's position and you'd have to update the sit target in the listen event, same as above.

You can just use a sittarget call with an offset local to the prim you sit on and then use unsit to make yourself get off the sittarget at the correct place, like a standard tp unit, or did i misread?

You didn't go at all you evil thing! I mean..

Good luck with your scripting..

I guessed the multimove thing meant the teleporters were moving relative to each other or something like that, but maybe not. At least that's the only situation I imagine it would be necessary to have communication between the tp spots.

I thought all the communication was handled by the multimove script already, maybe the OP could clarify a bit more

what my need is, is a ship tp system that can work with a moving multi object ship.

Meaning: That as the ship moves the X,Y,Z cordinates of the different tp to spots gets automatically updated at the different teleporters throughout the ship.

The best way i figure to do this is to put a broadcaster into the tp scripts that on some remote distant channel announces its position.

Do the points of the tp spots change relative to each other?

The standard tp script uses a sit-hack which is an offset vector, where do I move from *here* so if the ship and the tp spots stay in place it should work just fine - as Cid said.

If they do move relative to each other, then chatting on some out of the way channel is your best (nay only) bet.

Using the offset as suggested will work fine... UNTIL you change direction, then you need to recalculate the vectors.

As long as you know the distance between points, and the angle you've rotated through though, it shouldn't be all *that* hard to do.

The prims DO NOT move relative to each other, that's the whole point of multimove

You don't need to update the teleport vectors if you use sitting as TP method.
