Travel from point to point according to specified x,y and z where the avatar
will be commanded to snap to a vehicle object in which it makes collision
and where the first travel command is written.

[where t=travel r=rotate sv=snap to vehicle]

Therefore the first bump travel command should be written on the sv object.
Thereafter any collision with other bump travel warps without the sv command
will only affect the travel of avatar and initial sv object so as to
continue the snap and traveling until specifying an sv change.

Create sv;Bump t=10 0 0 time=10; next t

next t will cause an open travel statement until collision with next bump t
command object;

bump r=1 0 0 time=4, t=0 5 0, next t

then to end travel;

bump sv off,t end

Flaws are something I'm sure of.

Of course setting speed limits is left to the department of transportation.
(No person shall drive a vehicle...at a speed greater than is reasonable and
prudent...and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons
or property)


Teleporters becoming reality:

http://www.activeworlds.com/help/aw31/teleport.html "Note that
short-distance teleports or warps (less than 100 meters horizontally) won't
register in the list of places you can go back to. This is so that the
various warp-driven rollercoasters don't generate a long list of short
teleports, which would make it difficult to get back to the start of the
ride."

The course is set by the builder who decides the path of travel. It's been
that way with warps all along. Otherwise may as well just use an avatar
with a vehicle already attached.

They named it incorrectly though. The correct term for this kind of action
should be Transporting, not Teleporting.

Note: It stands to reason that we will not allow computers to have a mind of
their own, however we do allow them to think for us. This is where we have
trouble distinguishing between terms relating to our human mind and the
prcesses of the computer which is a device. Someone needs to email Webster.

Yes, and dish washers were around back in the stone age... and worked for very reasonable wages. :)
