Need help with a teleport script

I have this one

key lastAVkey = NULL_KEY;
string fltText = "Down to Livingroom";
vector dest = <45.355,118.701,48.518>;
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetSitText("Teleport";
llSetText(fltText, <1,1,1>, 1);
llSitTarget(dest-llGetPos(), <0,0,0,1>;
}
touch_start(integer i)
{
llSay(0,"Right click me and chose 'Teleport'";
}
changed(integer change)
{
key currentAVkey = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
if (currentAVkey != NULL_KEY && lastAVkey == NULL_KEY)
{
lastAVkey = currentAVkey;
if (!(llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION))
llRequestPermissions(currentAVkey,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
llUnSit(currentAVkey);
llStopAnimation("sit";
llResetScript();
}
}
}

And i thought where it says Vect Dest is where i put the numbers. So I place an item where i want it to be. Then take the numbers, but it doesn't really work that way. Sometimes I either get thrown to some other place or float around somewhere kinda close to it but in the sky. Can someone please help me?

vector dest = <45.355,118.701,48.518>;

I think you need some space bars:

vector dest = <45.355, 118.701, 48.518>;

The script looks fine, and though spaces help with readability, it shouldn't effect the script...

Here's what I suspect: Check your object. Make sure it's rotation is 0 on all axes. If it's not, then you end up rotating the relative destination, and you end up in strange places. This is a common problem if you rez a sphere, since it comes prerotated 90 degrees on the Y axis.

Here's a script that I've used successfully.

Two points.

1) It has some rotation stuff that's supposed to nullify the rotation of the prim. That's the problem that Jillian mentioned.
2) llSleep() before the unsit can help keep the AV from jumping around at the destination.

// Based on a script by Hank Ramos
//
// Some modifications by Shack Dougall

vector targetPos = <125, 163, 88>; //The target location

reset()
{
    vector target;
    
    target = (targetPos- llGetPos()) * (ZERO_ROTATION / llGetRot());
    llSitTarget(target, ZERO_ROTATION);
    llSetSitText("Teleport");
}
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        reset();
    }
    
    on_rez(integer startup_param)
    {
        reset();
    }
    
    changed(integer change)
    {
        llSleep(0.15);
        llUnSit(llAvatarOnSitTarget());
        reset();
    }    
}

Ahh yes I'd forgotten about that, I had learned that the hard way some time ago.
Nice script Shack.

It goes X, Y, Z right... and what if the distance is too far? does that even matter?

300 meter limit. This isn't usually a problem.

Thanks alot that second script seemed to do the job perfect. Thanks

Hmmm...I seem to be having the same problem the original poster had--but nothing is solved when I ensure that the object at my destination is 0 rotation.

It seems as if the teleportation is almost random...just a luck of the draw selection of numbers that have no correspondance with actual vector locations...

Some more advice either here or in game would be greatly appreciated.

---UPDATE: Fixed the problem...no replies needed. Sorry for bother.

Remember that the destination is relative to the prim, not the sim.
And the prim that needs to be unrotated is the source, not the destination.

Hank's script that Shack posted above takes care of both of those for you. It's a fab script, give it a shot!

Um, how far away is the teleporter from the destination?

Gee, this script sounded so great. I used it and it worked at first and then had very unreliable results - sending me off in the boondocks. Does anyone know what the problem might have been?

Thanks!

If your rotations are still zero, i find that recompiling the script generally does the trick in these cases.
