How To Escape From Cages And Griefer AttacksI need to add content here! teleport, teleport, teleport.
Some BasicsBeing OrbitedSitting down on a non-physical prim is the easiest way to prevent orbiting... But this doesn't help you much if you are on your way to 100Km. First thing to do, is relax, grief is something everyone in SL has to deal with at some time. To escape an attack, quickly click your minimap to bring up the full map and quickly double click a near by or even better a far away sim. If you do this fast enough, you will be able to escape before a client crash or SL logout. These are often the most difficult types of griefing to report using the AR tool primarily because these are caused either by a scanner object (sometimes called nukes or bombs) dropped in a sim, or by non-physical/physical bullets fired from a gun (most common). One way to do this is to look at your "push report" tool (need to explain this, how to find, etc). Another way is to acquire a simple shield that reports the owner of a collision or intersection object. Being CagedThese attacks are more annoying then anything else. There are many different types of cages. Generally they follow the same mode of operation, follow the avatar target and using push or a combination of physical/nonphysical stacked prims either immobilize the avatar or just harass the avatar by constant following. These are the easiest to make AR reports with since right clicking the cage and choosing "Report Abuse..." from the pie menu. Escaping is accomplished by teleporting to another sim. Another technique is to sit move, a technique where you move to your goal by repeatedly right click an object in the distance and choose sit, to a no-script region or a fast auto-return region (Governor Linden land usually has a 5 minute auto-return) and be patient. If you are able to drag the cage into a no script region generally the cage will become inert at this point. If you're the owner of the region, right click and choose delete on the cage works wonders. Particle AttacksView > turn off particles.... Finding the prim source of abuse can be difficult. Detaching the camera with the advance tools and zooming out to see the particle storm sphere and locating the approximate center of the sphere helps narrow down your search. Right click the prim, choose report abuse. Lum Pfohl 06:58, 29 November 2007 (PST) |
