    Buildings are very common in Second Life. As an avatar flies over the Second Life world, they encounter many different buildings. Scripts have their place in buildings. Scripts provide doors and other building elements. Lockable doors control access to buildings.

    Multi-floor buildings need a way to quickly take the user from one floor to another. Elevators are a common solution. Elevators work similarly to real-world elevators. However, elevators and stairs take up valuable space inside a building. Many buildings in Second Life use teleport pads. A teleport pad transports the user to a specified location.

    This chapter presents several Recipes for scripts that are common either in or around buildings. The first Recipe shows how to create water that splashes when an avatar enters it.
