This transporter system was designed to be as easy to use and configure as possible.

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 be 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 whose active group matches that of the teleporter are allowed to teleport there. Destinations starting with '!' are accessible only to the owner of the teleporter.

Caveats: Like most teleporters, this one only works within a sim, but up to 4096M. Also, you can at most have 13 different destinations (because a menu can have at most 12 buttons).

SETTING UP MULTIPLE TELEPORTER SYSTEMS

While each system is limited to a maximum of 13 destinations (12, plus the current location), there is no practical limit to the number of different systems you can have in the same sim. Each system need only be set up to use its own unique channel number for communicating between the teleporter pads. The default channel is -10001; so, second and subsequent systems should be set to use different channels than -10001. There is nothng special about the channel numbers, except that you cannot use channel 0 (public chat). They can be positive or negative.

Simply designate the Channel for each teleporter pad in the ._teleporter_config notecard and make sure each of the pads you want to use in a given system are all sharing the same Channel number.

Why might you want to use multiple systems? You may have a sim with employees and guests and want your guests to use one system that will take them to public destinations, and one system that takes your employees to group destinations. You might also want a private system for your own personal use that is restricted from anyone else's use. You can also use the hovertext feature to identify which teleporter pads are for public, group, or owner only use.

HOVERTEXT

You can choose whether, or not, you have have hovertext displayed above the teleporter pad, as well as what you would like the hovertext to say and what color the hovertext is! Just edit the ._teleporter_config notecard and put "yes" (without the quotes) on the line below . Then, set to whatever you would like it to be using \n within the text message to designate a new line. The teleporter will display your message, then on the last line it will identify the location as set in the Description field of the teleporter pad.

You can also set your hovertext color by choosing values from 0 to 255 for , , and . Those three colors are mixed together to create your custom hovertext color. This gives you over 16,500,000 possible hovertext colors from which to choose!

And, you can use the standard SL Editor color picker in the Texture tab of any prim to decide what color you want your hovertext to be, then just copy the Red, Green, and Blue values that it provides on the left side of the color picker screen over into the ._teleporter_config notecard.

POOFER EFFECTS

Your Star Trek Voyager/Intrepid Class Sim-Wide Transporter System has been equipped with three very cool poofer effects and an authentic Star Trek Voyager style teleporter sound!
