Questions about Elevators/Teleporters

I have a house that I plan to put in a teleporter (not elevator) for getting from the first level to the second and to the roof.

I've got a bunch of free scripts, Cubey's Teleporter, etc., but I can't figure them out at all!

Is there a simple teleporter system somewhere? Or one that at least comes with clear instructions? I don't need the whole elevator she-bang, just the fewest prims possible - that you touch one and go up, etc.

Surely this can't be that hard as it is seeming to me, because I see them everywhere!

IM me in SL tomorrow, and I'll sell you a very easy to use teleport script (you'll have copy permission) that will get you anywhere up to 768m high in a sim, and uses a notecard for configuration, and with a super-smooth ride direct to your destination, using only one prim, in 0.2 seconds.

can i get a copy as well? purrty please?

....as long as it isn't very expensive. how much are you asking?

You can get my open source teleporter at the Coonspiracy Store or Skyhook Station 500 meters over Avalon Lagoon... the big crater at the south of Lostfurest dAlliez. You can use the teleporter to get up there, too.

One notecard config. Security function.

Instant transfer (literally instant - one frame in transit - if you set it to touch-sit) within 512 meters.

Full perms. Cheap. Give it away if you want. Have a look at the other stuff in my store while you're there.

There is a really good one for free in scripting library. I made a few changes for the one i used, but it comes with great instructions, and is plug and play almost. you do not need to be scripter to get it running.

L$500, and it's easy to use.

If you want instant teleport without the side-effects (as in, the AV gets violently thrown around after arriving at the destination), see

Thanks guys, I will try these!

heh, the problem with teleporters is mainly how to tell them were to go, ie setup. How would you like to tell it where to go?

Here's my teleporter code. The set up is pretty simple-- set the teleporters description to the destination you want (standard vector format, i.e. <128,100,211.6>, and put this script in. In the object properties, set the "on-click" action to be sit. It will work for any location in-sim.

list rules; 
vector dest; 
vector home; 

calcWarpPos( vector d ) //R&D by Keknehv Psaltery, ~05/25/2006 
{ 
    if ( d.z > 768 )      //Otherwise we'll get stuck hitting the ceiling 
        d.z = 768; 
    //The number of jumps necessary 
    integer s = (integer)(llVecMag(d-llGetPos())/10)+1; 
    //Try and avoid stack/heap collisions 
    if ( s > 100 )   
        s = 100;    //  1km should be plenty 
    //Solve '2^n=s'    
    integer e = (integer)( llLog( s ) / llLog( 2 ) );      
    rules = [ PRIM_POSITION, d ];  //The start for the rules list 
    integer i; 
    for ( i = 0 ; i < e ; ++i )     //Start expanding the list 
        rules += rules; 
    integer r = s - (integer)llPow( 2, e ); 
    if ( r > 0 )                    //Finish it up 
        rules += llList2List( rules, 0, r * 2 + 1 ); 
} 
doWarpPos() 
{ 
    llSetPrimitiveParams( rules ); 
} 

default 
{ 
    state_entry() 
    { 
        llSitTarget(<0,0,0.01>,llGetRot()); 
        home = llGetPos(); 
        dest = (vector)llGetObjectDesc(); 
        calcWarpPos( dest ); 
    } 
     
    changed( integer change ) 
    { 
        if ( change & CHANGED_LINK ) 
        { 
            if ( llAvatarOnSitTarget() != NULL_KEY ) 
            { 
                llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,0,ALL_SIDES); 
                doWarpPos(); 
                llUnSit( llAvatarOnSitTarget() ); 
                calcWarpPos(home); 
                doWarpPos();                 
                llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,1,ALL_SIDES);                 
                calcWarpPos(dest); 
            } 
        } 
    } 
}

If you want to change the destination, just set the description and reset the script.

I hope this helps. Enjoy!
