Usage Rules

There are 4 rules that affect where you will end up after teleport estate access rule telehub rule parcel access rule parcel landing point rule

Teleporting follows visibility/access rules. You can teleport to places visible on the world map (exception - if the region you are on has "Mainland Visible from Here = NO", you may still be able to teleport to places you cannot see on the world map)

Teleporting rules: Estate access = NO

• teleport fails with error message

Estate access = YES

• P2P = OFF
  • TH is present
    • Go to nearest TH on estate, (to a random spawn point?)
  • TH is not present
    • Follow parcel's landing point rules
      • • If no landing point rules, arrive directly at your target.

If in god mode, invited by a god, teleporting home, Died

• Go directly to the target location, bypassing estate, telehub, and parcel rules

If teleport invited

• Follow estate rule, bypass TH rule, follow Parcel landing point rule

(Expand explaination when estates w/ different P2P configurations are adjacent)

(Explain what a "safe" alternate region is, how it is determined, how often it is determined, and what it's used for)

(Teleport to a location underground, near ground, in the air. What is your animation state?)

When you teleport arrive:

• What do you look like to you?
• What do you look like to observers?

Facing direction: You should face direction the landing point has set. If no landing point, you should be facing your target
