Okay here is what I want to do :
I have a script that create a menu for teleport, did that with lldialog, this sends the floorname to another script on channel 42, but how can I let this script teleport me to that floor without interaction, like right clicking and choosing teleport. I want it to teleport right away. I have seen it done, if I only could remember where Thanks for any help  |

Pretty sure you can't.
Teleport is a hack which uses sit target, so you actually have to sit on the object to be teleported, which requires you to right-click into the pie menu. If someone does know how to do this programmatically, I (and probably a lot of other people) would be very interested. You could try knocking the avatar around with a physical object, I suppose. I've seen that done, but I personally find it a pretty kludgy experience. _____________________

I have seen it done, if I only could remember where Can't be done... I'm not sure what you saw, but its not possible a) initiate a dialog, b) adjust the sit target based on a response, and c) have the AV sit/unsit all in a single transaction. If you initiated the dialog when the AV sits, the AV is already sitting at the previous sit target by the time the response is received. And you can't teleport without using the sit/unsit mechanic. - Ace _____________________

Perhaps rather than a llDialog() menu, you can make the menu in the 3d world using several prims with different sit-targets.

... like right clicking and choosing teleport. I want it to teleport right away. I have seen it done, if I only could remember where Thanks for any help Change the sit text to "Teleport". Then when you right click, you'll see "Teleport" in the pie menu. Then set the sit target of the object to where it is you'd like it to 'teleport' to (local axis of object). Set a camera eye offset around where you set the sit target (so you're teleporters see where they are going). Add a one second sleep timer, then add an Unsit function call.

You can fake it using "llPushObject()", but these days, calibrating a push is pretty tricky.

you have to wear something and that something takes you there when it hears the menu say "go floor13". WHOOSH!

Ive seen the scripts your talkign about. it's not worth it. it's sim heavy in comparison to the sit teleport. Plus it has many flaws, limitations, and it's way too complicated. The sit teleporter can go through walls, can go any where in the sim. dose not requires lots of primtives. Or a clean line of site path.
