It sounds like you want someone to write this script FOR you. if that's the case, then this request belongs, not in "Scripting Tips" but in "Products Wanted".

This forum is for people writing their own scripts to get help with certain functions or principles they don't understand.

You're not going to be able to send a normal teleport request to an arbitrary resident in the sim using a script. You could use llInstantMessage() to send them a SLURL to your location though.

And once you have invested the time and energy into getting this script up & running you are going to find that people seriously hate being spammed in world and that it is a Abuse Reportable offense.

Maybe, but it doesn't sound like SPAM. It is one user making a request of another (who happens to be in the same region rather than on a friends list or found through group chat/Search/whatever), and--from the sounds of it--making each request manually. The script system is just an aid to find people in the current sim. So you don't have to cam around everywhere there's a green dot on your mini-map, I suppose.

This isn't necessarily that huge of a scripting project, but there are some side-issues that may come up when you try to actually implement it. As already mentioned, one big one is how you want to teleport the target. I think Winter is suggesting a pretty good solution: dumping a clickable destination to the recipient's chat history (the URI namespace article in the wiki). But a problem may be that this approach and some others (e.g., llMapDestination) are overridden by a landing point set on the destination parcel; if that's a consideration here, it may work to warpPos a teleporter prim to the target avatar's location and, when they sit on it, to the destination.

WarpPos may not work, however, if there are "hostile" parcels with no-object-entry or access restrictions between the destination and the target avatar. That's also a problem for making a network of sensors to find all those agents scattered around the sim (sensors have a 96m maximum range).

And if it's a crowded sim, keep in mind that only the nearest 16 agents get returned from a sensor scan. If there will be more than that in a single scan, either the sensor-laden prims have to be smart about moving around or the sensor has to be able to narrow its scan parameters to make sure nobody gets missed.

I have a generic "allow" script that I plan to make public, which you can use to handle the permissions. Keep your eyes open on the Scripting Tips forum, where I'll be posting it for comments.
