When did teleport attempts get limited?

[Mr Incognito]

When did this happen? Now you can only try tping to a region 6 times per minute? 

[Maitimo]

Quite some time ago, maybe 2-3 years or so?

It's designed to prevent scripted "teleport hammers" to try and get into busy events. 

[Jordyn McGregor]

I have noticed that message over the last couple of weeks but only if I am manually trying to TP somewhere.  

[bigmoe Whitfield]

I've hit it too,  I'm not hitting the hammer neither,  it seems to be random at times.

[Jaylinbridges]

But you can always TP Home (Ctrl-Shift-H) while you are waiting for the 1 min delay.

[Maitimo]

I wonder if they've recently lowered the limit, so more people are seeing it more frequently. Now that I think about it, I think it used to be 10 per minute, not 6.

May not be related, but there's a year-old thread and corresponding accepted jira suggesting this error can happen even on first try when the target region is down, or maybe when it came up in some unhappy state, somehow generating the wrong error message.

This is when I've always received the message the few times that I have.  I don't repeatedly try to get into regions.

I got that message the other day when I had not even teleported anywhere within the past 15 minutes, not one TP, much less 6.  I think I had to log out and back in to get that nonsense to stop. 

[Lindal Kidd]

I get it sometimes when I'm checking landmarks and get going a little too fast.

I sort of wish LL had made the limit apply only to repeated attempts to teleport to the same destination, not just "rapid series of teleports anywhere".

[Ceka Cianci]

I give about 3 or 4 tries if i really want to get in.. If I still get  that i can't get in I just wait a day.. I haven't seen really anything other than a region full thing come up yet..

I should try to slam a full one to see if I can get it to register, just b'cuzz it hasn't happen to me yet and I'm feelin left out! \o/

I have in the past rarely got that message, I believe it is some kind of odd bug.

What I get though, is when you try and teleport and it just hangs.. Then you either get logged out, or you manually log yourself out. The weirdest thing about that is, that when you log back in to last location, it is sometimes somewhere else that you were before you were on the sim that you could not teleport from.

Its an old problem but maybe not fixed yet:

My script is sending a Teleport offer to an Avatar:

string region = llGetRegionName();
vector p      = llGetRootPosition();
string slurl  = "/"+(string)llRound(p.x)+"/"+(string)llRound(p.y)+"/"+(string)llRound(p.z);
llRegionSayTo( avatarkey,0,"secondlife:///app/teleport/"+llEscapeURL( region+slurl) );

[11:17] JS QuizTP 1.2: Teleport to Shermerville Central/134/97/27 (Notice the "/" in the Slurl)

When the Avatar (or myself) clicks my offered Teleport the following message appears:

Are you sure you want to teleport to Shermerville
Central/134/97/27?

After choosing Yes:

Teleport failed.
Teleport attempts are limited to 6 per minute.

Although NO Teleport attempts have been tried. (I even relogged and it still happens)

As a test I copied the SLurl from the World Map and pasted the Slurl into my Chat.

Copy looked like this: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shermerville%20Central/134/97/27

and looked like this in chat: Shermerville Central (134,97,27) (Notice the "(" and the "." and the ")" in this Slurl)

I clicked it and was shown a "Places" Box and could Teleport to there sucessfully.

Why the "limit to 6 per minute" and the differences in the Slurl?

Because the URL your script creates is incorrect. 😋 Your URL is this:

secondlife:///app/teleport/Shermerville%20Central%2F114%2F125%2F16

When it should be this:

secondlife:///app/teleport/Shermerville%20Central/134/97/27

To fix your script, replace llEscapeURL(region+slurl) with llEscapeURL(region)+slurl

That said, the broken URL does cause the teleport-rate limit to show up on first attempt. That just indicates a bug in how the viewer or server handles the failed teleport / invalid request.

Edit: Eh, better 2.5 weeks late than never.

Thank you SOOO much Wulfie !

Been racking my grey cells for weeks over that problem.

And any help is good help, no matter how late.

Thanks Again
