Teleport Avatar without sit?

Is it possible to use a HUD device to move an avatar (note, this is not for a bad purpose). For example, if I had a HUD that people wore on a sim to help them navigate to stores on the sim, is there a way by clicking a button on the HUD to teleport the avatar wearing the HUD to a specific vector?

Note that the sit ability is disabled for objects attached to HUD. Ideally I would like to teleport someone to a position on the sim without clicking anything.

Any ideas?

llMoveToTarget works in some cases, you can move through walls if you move fast enough, but it only works up to.....60m?
the carnival of doom has a hud that when the user "dies" it puts them in hell, an underground area in the carnival, and if they user tries to leave within a certain amount of time it puts them back (unless they tp out of the sim that is)

Imagine my surprise when I logged in to ask almost the very same question and found this thread.

I'm 99 and 44/100ths percent certain that I've seen various in world store guides that allow an avatar to click on a destination and get moved there without sitting. Naturally I paid not a bit of attention to them at the time so I have no idea who made them or even a slight clue how they work.

Other than the lack of the avatar having to sit I'm not looking for anything fancy. All of my locations are in the same sim, though they could be as far as 200 meters distant at differing elevations.

Am I misremembering or is there something like that out there somewhere?

Thanks

They are sitting; they just don't notice it. You can set the default action of clicking a prim to be Sit, and the teleporter immediately unsits them after teleporting.

But it doesn't work for huds.

Oh well I never even thought of changing the default action :)

Thanks so much!
