So here:

I have a building in which I have 30 Areas that I need to be able to access from any of 30 Areas at random.

This means that I will need a TP system. From my understanding, making a TP-board with 30 Locations is 30 Prims - so for 30 locations with 30 Addresses I will need 900 Prims.

Besides the problem of the huge amount of Space these TP boards would consume, the prim issue is a killer.


Does anyone know of a interactive TP system that displays a menu like list of locations that you can scroll through somehow and then click a tp button . to go?

Check out Rinoa Park in Ferguson... My friend uses a menu based site-to-site TP system there that works really well. I think it's a bit complicated, but once I figured it out it's a fun way to pop around. (^_^)y

The new touch stuff would be great for this, once it comes out.

Don't put too much effort into making it idiot proof. As soon as you achive that, someone will come out with a better idiot.

Cubey Terra has some freebie menu-based multi-location teleporters that work just fine. I use Aubretech (sp?). Both available on SLExchange.

Aubretech are the most user-friendly, IMO.
