Teleporter updates


Teleporter updates

Marshall Henly sent me a message about the sim teleporters. After helping him find out where they went, I showed him how to set it to go from the ground to his place in the sky over 500 meters in distance. I always use these to go strait up and down. His theatre in the sky was a bit to the south. The problem here is that the teleporter didn’t go all the way to the destination, and the same problem occured comming back. The teleporter ended up returning to a point 10 meters higher than it was originally placed. Marshall was ok with this, but I felt uneasy about it. It is a lot of unnecessary work to keep pulling the teleporter down after you have used it. Especially when friends are following you to the spot above. To get around the problem, I setup the scripts so that the teleporter only moved vertically first, and then moved horizontally once it achieved its vertical height. The problem was fixed and Marshall was happy to see it working.
