I am sure this sounds simple but i have run into a wall with it. I have made a simple sit target teleporter. What i cannot figure out is how to control who can use it. How do you have a list of people and then test whether the person has access BEFORE they are short range teleported?

The approach I have used is to put the prim containing the sit target in a locked box, and put the names of the people I want to be able to access it on the guest list of the box.

Not quite sure how that would help. Would you have them sit on the outside box? Or touch the box first?

Similar to the above I have a prim that has the access list code in it rez the object that you sit on (witch dies as it dumps you off). So, you click on the container prim, it checks the list and rezzes the sit target if you are on the list. Similar concept, but I like having the flexibility of the list - not requiring people to join yet another group.

Ok Kaklick so if i understand you correctly the person would touch the outside box which then rezzes the prim with the teleporter. Then they could sit on it and it would llDie once they have tpd to the destination.

Yup, that's how I do it.

They open the locked box and then they touch prim with the sit target. This sends them away. The locked box closes automatically after a few seconds. If you want to see this thing in action, contact me in world and I'll show you.

Lee how do they get tpd by touching the box? I thought there was no way except through a sit target and there was no way to auto sit them.

far easier to use a llSetPos teleporter . . . and just not move before unsit if they aren't in the access list.

Sorry. I said "touch the box" where I should have said something like "touch the 'sit' button on the prim's pie menu that you get when you right click on the prim."

Why go to that length?

Just have the teleporter set llSitTarget when a permitted visitor touches it, and clear it after they've teleported.

A better idea: if the wrong av is on the sit target, have the object llSetRot() itself so the av is somewhere else before llUnSit()ing them. Underground directly below the teleporter so they pop back to the surface where they started would be my choice.

An even better idea, have the object rotate to where the sit target is in the wrong place until the right person sits on it, then it rotates to the right place and unsits them.

The question then remains how do i dynamically change the sit target AFTER then sit on it. My problem has been that by the time i get to test the avies key(in the changed event) they have already been tpd to the destination.

Argent's last suggestion will fit this. Sit targets are relative to the prim. Rotate the prim 180 degrees around X or Y. Unauthorized person sits, script unsits them and they just pop out from the ground. Authorized person sits, the prim rotates itself upright, and unsits the av - authorized person has TPed to the hidey-spot.

CODE

changed(integer what)
{
  if(what & CHANGED_LINK)
  {
    key av = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
    if(av != NULL)
    {
      integer allowed = check_avatar(av);
      vector saved_rot;
      if(!allowed)
      {
        saved_rot = llGetRot();
        llInstantMessage(av, "Security violation, teleport failed, pattern buffer dumped, attempting recovery...");
        llSetRot(llEuler2Rot(<llFrand(TWO_PI),llFrand(TWO_PI),llFrand(TWO_PI)>));
      }
      llSleep(0.2);
      llUnSit(av);
      if(!allowed)
        llSetRot(saved_rot);
    }
  }
}

The rotation based on access list is probably the best way to do an unsit teleporter. there is no way to change a sit target while someone is sitting on the prim; the would have to unsit then sit back down before changes take effect.

Wrote this a while ago, should still work though i think.... Slight modifications to it should lead you to your desired outcome.

The avatar has to collide with it in order for it to check if they are on the list or not.

The object you put this script in is invisible until somebody on the list collides with it. You could easily take this out and set a different location using this script.

If you didnt want the AV to have to collide with the item teleporting them you could make a small detection prim that would tell the actual teleport object if the person colliding with the prim is on the list or not. Let me know if you wanna go this route, i can script it up for you no problem.

Hope it helps!

Ah... i was bored :P re-wrote it a bit and added in some more info...


CODE

//Simple Selective Teleporter by Nick Fortune 04/20/2006

//This script acts as a simple sit-offset teleporter for those people who collide with it and are on 
//the list.  If you are on the list the item will turn green and you will be able to "teleport" via
//pie menu.  If you are not on the list then the item will turn red and you wont go anywhere.

//"Do with this what you will."


string gDetected;
//-----------------------------------------------------------
list gAllowed = ["Nik Fortune", "Cricket Sunchaser"];  // The list of people allowed.
vector gPass = <0,0,300>; // The offset to place them at if they are on the list
vector gFail = <0,0,-10>; // Not on the list offset.
vector gStandby = ZERO_VECTOR; //Standby offset.
//-----------------------------------------------------------

fail() {
    //av colliding with object isnt on the list.  They suck.
    llSetSitText("Sit");
    llSitTarget(gFail, ZERO_ROTATION);
    llSetColor(<1.0,0,0>,ALL_SIDES);
}

pass() {
    //av is on the list, now we're going someplace.
    llSetSitText("Teleport");

I've added a selective mode to my long distance teleporter script (open source, in my store 500m above the big lagoon at the south of LostFurest dAlliez), with an amusing "OMG! Teleport failure!" drop-the-perp-somewhere-random option.
