LSL teleporter script: sit to teleport in the same region

Need to get visitors up to your sky box or across a big store? This sit teleporter carries them there: they sit on the pad, the pad moves to the destination in the same region, lets them stand up there and goes back home. It uses llSetRegionPos, so it can travel any distance inside the region in one step.

How to set it up

Stand where visitors should arrive and note the coordinates in the viewer's top bar.
Put those numbers in DESTINATION, for example <120.5, 88.0, 2500.0>.
Add the script to a pad or sign and save. Sit on it to test.
For a return trip, make a second pad at the destination that points back.

Settings

DESTINATION: the region coordinates to travel to, in this region.
SIT_TEXT: the word on the right-click menu instead of "Sit".
HOVER_TEXT: the floating text above the pad.

Tips

Set the pad's click action to Sit in the Edit window, so a normal left click starts the trip.
Arrive a little above the floor (about 0.5 m) so visitors land softly.
The pad must be allowed onto the destination parcel. If the destination is on another parcel that blocks object entry, the trip fails and the visitor is told.

Frequently asked questions

Can it teleport to another region?

No. This teleporter works inside one region. For other regions, give visitors a landmark or a SLURL.

Why does the trip fail?

The destination may be outside the region (coordinates must be 0 to 256 for x and y), the pad may be physical, or the destination parcel may not allow objects to enter.

Is it safe to leave out?

Yes. It only moves when someone sits on it and always returns to where it was.
