[View Quote] Hi Tyrell;

I too have thought about "People Movers" in AW, partly inspired by David
Niven's first "Ring World" book and the teleport disks at the street
intersections on the Puppeteer's home planet. After careful
consideration I rejected the idea of having a system of hidden bump
warps, even though they definitely have their place in things like rides
and surprises. For a system that the user is in full control of, I
choose a system of floating signs above the users head with activate
warps. I have implemented such a system using a basic spacing of 50m.
You can see it at:

If you keep going straight until you can go no further, then turn to the
right and continue. You can go quite a long way. I have not build the
road all the way around the property yet (slightly over 3/4) and the
signs only go about 5/8 of the way around. BTW, if you enter the tunnel
after the last sign and do a bit of exploring, you might find a secret
passage way that leads to a teleport back to my gateway. ;^o

Have fun and tell me what you think of my idea.

PS: I noticed you are using relative coordinates. Cool, I didn't know it
was possible.
