[sldev] Teleportation woes

[Harold Brown]

I'd look at the startup / login process.

There is already code in place to handle teleporting to a specific location
when entering the grid.

in llstartup.cpp


if ( LLURLSimString::sInstance.mSimString.length() )
{
     // record the location to start at next time
     gSavedSettings.setString( "NextLoginLocation", LLURLSimString::
sInstance.mSimString );
};
