Receive IM for every visitor to region?

[Jo Yardley]

I was wondering if there is some sort of device that sends me an IM for every single visitor that enters an entire region.

Right now we use welcome mats but they only tell us when someone enters the region at a certain spot.

Use a security orb

Any Region wide security orbs you can suggest?

They all use sensor that only has a 96m range, so you will need more than one set in a grid over the sim, so it could be done, IM Lucinda Bulloch inworld and she will give you a script that you can place in an object and rez every 180m apart, it is a simple script that just ims you the name, key and position, it will be free, in fact she could put it in the library when she gets back to the forum, i dont do such things

[Jo Yardley]

But won't those send me an IM every single time someone comes near one of those sensors?

It is weird that there isn't a simple system that works whenever someone crosses a region, with my Phoenix radar I can set it so that I get a message whenever someone enters the region.

You'd think that it shouldn't be so tricky to combine that into some IM script, mind you I couldn't script to save my life.

[Yohan Roux]

No, it is all in the coding, lol, it will do as you say, only im your when someone lands, and heres a hint, it don't use sensor repeat, so what does that tell you and the other scriptors here.

[Ciaran Laval]

There are performance issues to take into consideration with this approach, you'll have sensors constantly running.

[Yohan Roux]

No, mine just do one shot if the number of AV changes, I have them in all my sites, they tell me when people tp in and how many scripts they have, they link so that they all know who is in the sim, Lucinda will put it in the library next week.

Giving yourself all of this information will only lead you down the path to wondering what they're all up to which will lead you down the path to assuming what they're all up which will lead you down the path to assigning motivation to all of them which will lead you down the path to paranoia.

Sometimes peace of mind is best preserved.

Hahaha yes you probably have a point.

But in these days of weird display names it can be quite hard to find out who teleported into a sim and misbehaved.

Sometimes it is just nice to be able to track down who was in your sim when.

I love to do all the detective work, but it takes so much time.

I know the Phoenix and firestorm radars already anounce every single person entering a region, we should be able to harnass this power!

Hi Jo,

I have something in my inventory that might be what you're looking for. I'll send it to you inworld now, so you should get it when you next log in.

That's because it's using data that's sent to the viewer but isn't available to scripts.

See https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Land-Security-Orb-the-ORIGINAL-since-2006-by-Thomas-Conover/2471709 I use it, just perfect.
