Ah... I misunderstood what you are trying to do. Yes, that will only work on an object. You cannot move an avatar with a script (well, except with llPushObject which is a very rough, uncontrolled sort of movement). The only way to move an avatar to another spot is to have the avatar seated on somehing that you move. I assumed that's what you were doing. That's also what Peter was referring to, somewhat obliquely. :smileytongue: See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Library/Walking-through-walls/td-p/1390043

No. You can certainly send an object to any spot on the same sim. We have a lovely new LSL function for doing that. However, " llSetRegionPos Returns FALSE and does not move the object if........ the object can not move to position due to parcel/region restrictions (object entry rules, prim limits, bans, etc). " So, if you have set the proper restrictions on your parcel, there's no way to send a "bomb" there remotely.

Yes, they can. Even if you have No Object Entry checked for your parcel, a fast-moving object can travel fairly far into the parcel before it dies or is returned. Bullets often do that. If you can actually capature and identify such an object, you can file an AR on its owner. It's possible, of course, that your neighbor has no idea that his projectiles are ending up on your land. So, if that's what you think might be happening, you could ask innocently and see what he says. To the general question ..... A beacon is a handy tool for locating a sound source, but not if the source doesn't stick around for long. Locating a short-lived source is a really hard challenge. If it were my own parcel, I might write a script to detect newly-rezzed objects by name and location, but that's a lot of trouble to go to.

I had the same problem last weekend when I was trying to locate items that a tenant had left behind on a neighboring parcel. It's frustrating, and I cannot explain why they can't be highlighted or selected. They CAN be returned, however. If they are scripted objects, for example, you can select them from the Top Scripts list and return them that way. I wish I had a better answer. If I can think of one, I will let you know. You may also want to ask Ceera Murikaml, who is one of the most talented builders I know in SL. She may know a way that I do not. If so, please let ME know.

You need to rotate the target avatar to face you before you can move him/her. Because the av is seated on your scripted object, that means making its +X axis face you. If my_position is the position vector of the object and other_position is the location ot the avatar you want to turn toward, you can write......... llSetRot(llRotBetween(<1.0,0.0,0.0>, llVecNorm(my_position - other_position));

You were wise to rez the coalesced objects well above the ground. Many people don't think to do that. The other important step --- almost everyone forgets this one the first time they rez coalesced objects --- is to be sure to open your Build/Edit tool (CTRL + 3) before you rez the object. That way everything is selected as it is rezzed, You can move the entire object as a single entity, and you can see all of the components because they are highlighted. Unfortunately, it's a little late to do that now, so you have a bit of work to do. Method One: Open your Build/Edit tool. Be sure that you have set it to Select By Surrounding and Select My Objects Only. Then stand under the platform that you were working on and look up. Drag a selection rectangle around a portion of the sky and look for anything that highlights. Move to another spot, look at the sky from a different angle, and do it again. Do it over and over and over again. Small or thin objects may be hard to find unless you look from several vantage points and distances. You may want to highlight transparent objects (CTRL + Alt + T) as you do this. If so, derender the clouds first or they will show up as a huge red higlight, blocking everything. You can toggle clouds OFF/ON with CTRL + Shift + Alt + - . Method Two: Find a friend with Firestorm or Phoenix (or install Firestorm yourself) and open World >> Area Search. Type your own name into the obvious filter, so that it looks only for your objects. You should get a complete list of everything you have rezzed in the sim. Double click on any item to create a beacon so you can find it. (You may actually prefer this method, because it can be very effective and fast. Area Search does put a load on the sim's servers, though, so choose a quiet time to work if you can.) MethodThree: Open About Land >> Objects and refresh the list of people who own objects on your parcel. Click your own name to highlight all objects owned by you, then cam around the parcel in some semi-organized way, locating and identifying everything you can, This can be a frustratingly slow process, in part because you can't move without having to open About Land all over again. Method Four: You can locate all scripted objects by asking the sim's owner to help. S/he will have to open the Region/Estate >> Debug page and look at the Top Scripts list for the sim. Each scripte item will be listed by name and owner, and its location will be indicated. Method Five: Look in Marketplace for scripted tools that search for objects within a given distance around them. Some of those work pretty well.

Or, a third variant ... :smileyhappy: integer gOn; // This is FALSE by default, so no need to specify itstring gSoundname = "soundfile"; // Put soundfile name here (named file in inventory, or UUID if not in inventory)default{ state_entry() { if (llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_SOUND) == 1) // That is, if there IS a sound file in inventory... { gSoundname = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND,0); } } touch_start (integer num) { if (gSoundname != "") //That is, if there is a sound file in inventory OR the owner has specified one above .... { if (gOn) { llStopSound(); } else { llLoopSound(gSoundname,1.0); } gOn = !gOn; } }}

I haven't had any sim-crossing problems for a long time, Peter, but I have always traveled light anyway. A better guage is the fact that we are hearing few people complaining about sim crossings in the Answers forum these days, and it is not a common topic of conversation in world now either, as far as I can tell. Server upgrades in the past year seem to solved the remaining problems, so I can't see any reason to favor LSO now.

Ah... I understand now. Peter is right. First, Second Life is not a game. There is no rule that you must spend money. You may decide to buy expensive clothing or houses and cars if you want to, but you are not required to. You will find many things to do in Second Life that do not require money at all. Second, there are no VIPs. People who become Premium members are not better than Basic members. They have just made a decision to pay for some things that Basic members have chosen not to pay for. I have been a Basic member for 5 years and am very happy with my choice. Third -- and maybe most important -- we each chose to be here, and we each agreed to live by the rules that Linden Lab made for Second Life --- the Terms of Service. We may of course disagree with some of their decisions, but this is Linden Lab's world. If we really do not like the way that they manage it, our only choice is to leave.

Can you explain your question in different words? I cannot understand what you want. If English is not your native language, you may write in your own language. Click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.

That's a communication problem between your computer and SL's servers. Information about your appearance has to be "baked" onto your avatar on your own computer, saved there, and then uploaded to SL before it's fully visible there. If the necessary information is messed up in transmission, you may end up with a borked file on your computer, or SL's servers may end up with a borked image. Either way, your av's appearance defaults to a fluffy cloud. What works to repair the damage for one person won't necessarily work for the next person, and it may not be the same thing that works for you tomorrow. See the full list of possibilities here >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/doku.php?id=fs_bake_fail . Start with the simple things at the top of the list and work down until you find what works for you today. (BTW, notice that Character Test is one of the LAST things you should try, if absolutely nothing else works.) You may find that the bake fail problem comes back repeatedly, even after you fix it with one of the suggestions on that wiki page. If so, you have a chronically weak Internet connection. There are many steps to take for repairing it. Perhaps the simplest ones -- ones that work best for most people -- are: (1) Don't Use WIRELESS. Wireless connections are inherently less stable than direct cable connections and are more vulnerable to interference. Then, (2) Reboot your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes to let it clear its RAM. Then plug it back in and let it get a fresh hold on an IP address.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but let me guess. Your AO has a standing animation that makes your av shift its weight and perhaps move arms and legs a little bit, but you want to stand perfectly still. Right? That's easy. Just buy a stand pose instead of an animation, and put it into the AO as the default. You can buy poses at any animation store in SL. You should expect to pay L$50 to L$100 for one. (Don't buy it in Marketplace, because you won't have any way to preview it.) Your AO should have come with instructions about how to add or reorganize selections. Just in case that's not what you meant..... If you want a way to make your av stand perfectly still while you try on a new dress or adjust an attachment, you need a pose stand. Pose stands are free, and you can pick them up all over the place in SL. Get one, click to stand on it, and you will be immobile until you hop off again. BTW, Why Are You Putting A Capital Letter At The Start Of Every Single Word You Type?

I think this is the same question that you asked earlier at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Land/MAINLAND-TAX/qaq-p/1487593 . Let me repeat my answer in different words. There is no "tax" anywhere in Second Life. If you have land, however, you do need to pay a monthly land fee for it. On some pieces of land, you pay the fee directly to Linden Lab. On others, you pay to someone else who owns the region. In either case, you are paying rent to someone. I gave you a link to the section of the Knowledge Base that discusses land fees and tier. I suggest that you read it VERY carefully, especially since English is apparently not your native language. The only exception to what I have just said is that as a Premium member of Second Life, your first 512 sq m of land on the Mainland is free. You do not have to pay a monthly land fee for it. That is also explained in the Knowledge Base article that I recommended earlier. If you have other questions about this, click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT. Please do NOT start a new thread.

Try using a beacon. You can get to your beacons menu from World >> Show More >> Beacons or by just typing CTRL + Shift + Alt + N. Click the box that says "Sound Sources" and select either the "Beacon" or "Highlight" option. Any sound source will either be highlighted in red or have a beacon over it. Wander around and check each one until you find the one that's going pop. Then don't forget to uncheck the box again to turn the beacon or highlight off.

Did you check to be sure that you are wearing your group's tag when you rez the house? If not, you may be rezzing the house under the wrong group. If you have autoreturn set on the parcel, it will bounce the house back to your Lost & Found folder as soon as it hits the time limit. That's a very common problem. Any of us who have ever owned or rented land has made that mistake at least once.

No tax. You do have to pay a monthly land use fee, but that's true anywhere in SL. It's essentially like paying rent in RL. See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Buying-land/ta-p/700043#Section_.3

Interesting. There's a Phoenix jira issue that might be relevant. Take a look and see >>> http://jira.phoenixviewer.com/browse/PHOE-380 . You'll notice that the last entry suggests a workaround: "A possible workaround is to open preferences and go to phoenix->page 2->advanced graphics then uncheck "use object object occlusion" and see if that helps. Your framerate may drop when you uncheck it however."

The ones that don't have "arrows" are empty, so there's nothing to open. Now, if they aren't supposed to be empty, that's a different matter. That usually means that your locally cached copy of inventory is out of sync with LL's asset servers. You'll have to rebuild it. Go to Preferences >> Network & Cache, and click the button that says Clear Cache. Then log out. When you log back in, log in at a nice quiet sim like Pooley or Aqua, where there's no lag. Move away from the landing spot and open inventory. Type any letter into the search field at the top of inventory to jump start the rebuilding process, then go make yourself a sandwich and a cup of coffee. It may take a while, so don't do anything else in world until it's done. When it stops "fetching" items from the asset servers, you should have everything that is supposed to be there. If not, come back here and tell us. We'll move on to Plan B. To add information. click on the Options link in the upper right corner of your question and select EDIT.

Try rebooting your router. You could just have a flaky connection.

Hmmm... When I sell shoes, I don't sell separate invisiprims. I just package two styles in the box -- one with an alpha mask and the other with invisiprims. I figure that it's too much to ask the average customer to mess with getting something invisible positioned properly on her feet.

Only one foot? That's unusual. If you are wearing an alpha clothing layer, it should hide portions of both feet (maybe the whole foot if you are wearing boots). I imagine that if you were somehow wearing an old-style invisiprim on one foot, it could be invisible, but it would be very unusual to have an invisiprim that isn't lined to a shoe that you are wearing as well. In any case, the way to see what's going on is to open the WORN tab in your Inventory and see what you are wearing right now. Start taking off things one at a time and see if anything makes your foot come back. If so, you've found it.

Hmmm.. It sounds as if you have tried a lot of the methods that usually work. What remains is more difficult, unfortunately. You may find that the bake fail problem comes back repeatedly, even if you can fix it with one of the suggestions at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_bake_fail or similar sites. If so, you have a chronically weak Internet connection. There are many steps to take for repairing it. Perhaps the simplest ones -- ones that work best for most people -- are: (1) Don't Use WIRELESS. Wireless connections are inherently less stable than direct cable connections and are more vulnerable to interference. Then, (2) Reboot your router. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes to let it clear its RAM. Then plug it back in and let it get a fresh hold on an IP address. If those simple steps don't clear it up for you, I suggest reading Nalates's blog on this topic very carefully and then doing some troubleshooting to find the root of the problem >>> http://blog.nalates.net/2011/10/26/troubleshoot-your-sl-connection/

This seems to be the same question that you asked, and that I answered, at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Inventory/i-want-know-why-i-lose-that-i-clear-my-cashe-but-i-need-every/qaq-p/1486673 . As I explained before, if you are missing items from your inventory, you probably need to clear your cache and let your viewer rebuild a new copy from the SL servers. I suggest doing a careful "clean" job, not just clicking the "clear cache" button. See >>> http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear .
