[Opensim-users] osTeleportAgent. Allowed threat level ...

Fri Feb 3 18:22:25 UTC 2012

Hmm ok, maybe the documentation on the wiki is just out of date?

http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OsTeleportAgent

" For osTeleportAgent() to work, the owner of the prim containing the
script must be the same as the parcel that the avatar is currently on. If
this isn't the case then the function fails silently. "
