Auto-Configuring Teleporter v.Ian

This teleport system was designed to be as easy to use and configure as possible. Each teleporter is just 1 prim; the magic is in the script.

To set up a system with two teleporters to transport you between, for example, your beach and your skybox, simply place a teleporter at each location. Wait one minute to allow the teleporters to discover each other. Now, left-clicking one teleporter will bring you to where the other teleporter is located.

If you want to have more destinations, simply place more teleporters. Again wait one minute for the information to be transmitted to the other teleporters. Now, left-clicking one teleporter will present you with a menu of all other destinations; as soon as you select your desired destination you will transported there. By default each location will have a unique number as name. You can optionally assign a more meaningful name to a teleporter by choosing Edit and entering the name of the destination (for example, "Skybox") as the Description of the object.

The teleporter also has a limited access control system. If the name of a destination starts with '*', only avatars whos active group matches that of the teleporter are allowed to teleport there. Destinations starting with '!' are accessible only to the owner of the teleporter. Also new, you can add an animation and/or a sound to the content of the teleporter, which will be played when teleporting.

Caveats: Like most teleporters, this one only works within a sim. Also, you can at most have 13 different destimations (because a menu can have at most 12 buttons).
