INSTRUCTIONS v5
This vehicle allows you to walk in tandem with another avatar.
NOTE this is NOT an attachment, you must rez it on the ground and sit on it to use it.
The driver can access the options menu at any time with the command /99menu in chat. The secondary passenger can also access a limited version of this menu to pick animations etc. They do not however have control over all the settings.
GETTING STARTED
1. You must first rez the walker in world.
If the land does not allow building your best option if possible is to rez it outside the no build land and walk/fly in.
2. When rezzed in world you will see a blue and pink section.
(Note This is not necessarily to denote male/female.)
The owner should sit on the blue Lead section of the walker unit. If you wish to have someone else take the lead you can do this by clicking on the AllowDriver option in the options menu. This will allow another avatar to sit on the lead section. (PLEASE NOTE: This is a temporary permission only, upon standing permission will be revoked. If you would like them to sit in the lead seat again, you will need to grant them permission again.)
3. When both avatars are sitting on the walker, use the normal keyboard controls to move your avatars. Either avatar can drive the vehicle but only one can have control at a time. To switch which avatar is controlling the vehicle click on the SwitchDriver option in the options menu. This can be done at any time when both avatars are sitting on the vehicle.
If you are walking and you press page up, you will go into flight mode.
If you are flying and you land on the ground or a prim surface you will go into walk mode.
Upon entering water (Not Prim Water) you will go into swim mode.
The vehicle attempts to automatically adjust itself to the surface height, this is so that you can walk over prim surfaces, and natural terrain, go upstairs etc. The physics involved in this is quite complex, occasionally you may encounter problems. Using the page up and down keys you can fly up and down if you get into difficulty moving over a prim or particularly steep terrain.
NEW TO VERSION 5 - The walker now uses Ray Casting to detect objects in its path and jump over them. This helps with obstacles such as stairs. If the owner of this product wishes to turn this feature off you can do so by editing the notecard inside the blue prim of the walker.
OPTIONS MENU
The owner can access the options menu at any time with the command /99menu in chat.
There are various options available...
AllowDriver - If you wish to allow someone else to sit on the lead section select this option before they try and sit. When they stand up permission will be revoked. To allow them to sit on this blue section select the option again. Permission is not needed for them to sit on the pink follow section. (This option is only Available To The Lead Passenger)
SwapControl - When both avatars are sitting on the vehicle this option can be selected to change who is the designated driver.
(This option is only Available To The Lead Passenger)
Rescue - If for any reason your walker gets stuck or disorientated this will attempt to rescue it by leveling it out and raising it in the air a little bit. ( This could happen if it gets caught on something. )
Walks - This menu will display the list of available walks
GroundSit - This will display a list of ground sitting couples poses
GetControl - If this option appears in your menu it means the other avatar currently has operational control of the vehicle. Clicking the GetControl button will pass control to you so you can drive it.
Settings Sub Menu (The settings menu is only Available To The Lead Passenger)
Speed - This allows the owner to adjust the speed of the walker.
Camera - This option displays a sub menu of built in following camera options
Mode - This allows you to switch between walk only mode and Auto. Auto mode allows you to walk, fly and swim with the vehicle. It will automatically detect when your in water and if you are in the air. If you want to force it into walk mode, select the walk only option.
AvOffsets - This option displays a sub menu allowing you to adjust avatar1 and avatar2s x,y,z offset for the current pose. This will be saved in memory.
Save - Although the offsets stored above are saved in memory, they will be reset if the script restarts. For this reason you can use the save option to display all the offsets. The can then be added to the note cards inside the walkers to ensure your settings are persistent. NOTE The blue prim and pink prim both have there own settings notecard inside. Use 'Edit Linked Parts' in the SL build tools to see inside each prim separately.

I'm disappointed to say the least.
If this is indeed the best couples walker there is then there aren't any good couples walkers. The animations are horrible, the controls are horrible. Getting the poses to change doesn't work consistantly. Flying forward and backward uses the same animation and often have difficulty getting out of flight mode. While walking half the time it doesn't stay upright but instead leans forward and backward.
If you're using something larger than a typical avatar you can count yourself out of luck. You're going to clip into the ground, the adjustments don't seem to work and you won't be able to get the person you're carrying out of your body.
In short I was sorely disappointed and pretty angry, walkers like this one have been out for years and it functions just as terribly as the old ones do. I feel completely ripped off, and sadly there's no way to get a refund. If I could give this a vote of zero stars, I would. Cheaper versions of this might get a 1 for not being near as costly with the same functionality. Do not buy this product.
Like it but not perfect
I LOVE the arm locking animation. The hand holding doesn't actually hold hands. The cam is locked to rear view not sure how to get a front view. Walking can be a bit awkward. Wish, like to many others, that it was a HUD, really don' t like poseballs. Looking forward to next revision. :)
This product is absolutly Amazing if I could I would give it a 10
This is by far and hands down the best couples walker I have ever used! Thank you Creator for working so hard on this product. The animations rock on this although if there is an update I would like to see an adjustable poses for this product. I mean all of us Avi are different heights that would come in handy but all and all I give this 10 stars.
Awesome love it
i made an earlier review cause i wasnt satisfied , well that has changed the owner personally contacted me and took the time to show me how to make it work great costumer service. I totally recommend this the animations are awesome and its a lot of fun my girls love it and so do i thanks.
Amazing!
I love using this with my bf. So much fun to ride on his shoulders, and the animations are good too. Had a little issues with some stairs, but otherwise it was great :D
Great Item!
I am in love with this! The item is so cute, my friend and I laughed and laughed at some of the anims. The only issue I had with it and please correct me if I am wrong? but I didn't not see a way to adjust the positions and save them, I would have liked to see this feature.
