I don't know how common usage actually is, but they offer some unique features that aren't available with parcel landing points. These allow estate owners to: * configure multiple spawn points so agents are distributed to multiple specific locations within a region regardless of the attempted TP location * set spawn points on a build and then move the build with ingress points still intact (internally, the sim references target prims rather than locations - it should even be possible to move an object with scripts to prevent pileups, although I don't know if that's been tested) * route teleports to a single region for teleport attempts into any other region that's in the same estate, and where the alternate region isn't configured to allow direct teleport -- *Brian McGroarty *| Application Security, Platform Engineering *Linden Lab* | Makers of Shared Creative Spaces <http://lindenlab.com/>
