Function: llMapDestination( string simname, vector pos, vector look_at );


1.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Opens world map centered on simname with pos highlighted.
Only works for scripts attached to avatar, or during touch events.

(NOTE: look_at currently does nothing)

This function causes the script to sleep for 1.0 seconds.
if simname is omitted or invalid, the map will open centered on object, but pos will not be highlighted. Since this function requests the client to perform a task, there is no way for script to know if it has failed.

<lsl>//Click the object this script is in and your map opens up in the middle of Oasis. default {

    touch_start(integer num)
    {
         llMapDestination("Oasis", <128, 128, 0>, ZERO_VECTOR);
    }

}</lsl>

pos will work with Region coordinates not inside simname. (like those returned by llRequestInventoryData)
if called from non touch events, it only works for the owner.
if called from touch, it may only work for the first or last touch in the event queue (example: num_touched > 1)
if called inside an attachment, it only works for the owner.
