I've been experimenting around with various "probes" that seek out people at random, follow them around, roam around on their own, etc. well, due to the very nature of a randomly moving object, I tend to lose quite a few of these while I'm trying to observe their behaviour in low and high target environments. any ideas on an easy way to call one of these things back if it gets outside of shouting range?

You can code it into the object, so when it's rezzed it marks a "home" location with llGetPos. Then periodically check the current llGetPos against the home coordinates, and if the distance between the two is greater than some limit, either move back towards the home location, or die.
I'm not sure how you would call something once it's outside should range. You could send it an email, that's all I can think of.
