2019 HELP: Travel Secrets of virtual worlds

Travel Secrets of virtual worlds 
Updated 3/20/2019

These are not meant to be secrets.  It just works out that way.  These are just easier ways of doing things you already know how to do. 
-
Get there:
  • ClickNwalk Get there, don't overshoot
  • Double-click-TP (good to get on stage)
  • Quick trips for your favorites places, don't search your inventory
  • Login to the place you want to be, skip that first TP
  • Use a SLurl from a web page, go where the blogs take you 
  • Move and roam your camera (look around without moving)
  • Pass through walls 

  • These instructions apply to the FIrestorm viewer.  
  • The features may be available in most third party viewers, but there may be some differences in how to use them.

Click-walk (Autopilot). Double-click-TP

V3.2 Preferences, 
Move & View window
  • Double-click TP:  Optional feature to TP you automatically to a place you can see.
  • ClickNWalk:  Walk your avatar to a place by a single-click on the place.
If you have set your double-click option to teleport (see screenshot above), you can usually teleport by double-click to any place you can see..  If you are in a parcel that has a landing point set, you may get a message saying you can't teleport closer.    

 In such places:
  • Use ClickNWalk
  • Or open your world map (Ctrl m) and double click on the place 
These features are especially useful if you want to get to a specific point without overshooting. 
***

Quick trips to your favorite places


  • Put your favorite landmarks it the favorites folder under Landmarks.  
  • You can easily find them.

Favorites bar

Login to the place you want to be

If you have a SLurl, copy-paste it into the destination bar on the entry screen.  Then click Login.  You will (probably) arrive where the SLurl specifies
-
If you have put Landmarks in your Favorites Bar, go to Preferences-Private, then check 
"Show my Favorite Landmarks at Login."
The login page will give you a drop-down menu of the destinations in your Favorites Bar
-
If you know the name of the sim, put that in the destination bar.  You will land in the middle of the sim (128,128)
- 
These shortcuts can often save you a teleport after you Login.
-
Teleport to nearby sims

Teleport to a friend's location

Use a SLurl from a web page


  • If you have SLurl on a web page and your viewer is not open, click the SLurl.  
  • That will open the viewer (if you have one) and let you log in.  
  • If you don't have a viewer, the system will start you on the road to downloading/installing a viewer or registering for Second Life.


  • If you have a SLurl and your viewer is open, drag the SLurl to the viewer screen and drop it there. 

Find Places you want to visit

Can: move and roam you camera


  • You stay where you are.  
  • Your camera can look around for you.  
  • Even in places you can't go. 

Pass through walls



  • You need double-click move (above) turned on.
  • You just need to cam to the inside of a place and use the double-click to there.
  • To cam through a wall, zoom up close to it.
  • Then rotate your view (side-pointing arrow) till you see the other side.
  • This won't work in a place where the TP landing point is set.
