*Setup Instructions*
You can see the Physics Hoop Setup video here:

When you rez the hoop, it will be placed touching the ground. Raise it up at least 2.5 meters off the ground.
Move the hoop to where you want. By default the rope is 6m long. You can change the rope length or swing angle through touch dialogs, see below.
Any Phantom object can be placed at the top of the rope as a visual attachment point. The swing will pivot at the top of the rope. Make sure this object and any object within 1m around the top of the rope are Phantom. The area where the avatar will be swinging should also be unobstructed.
To use it, Owner-only touch to bring up the setup menu. Select the Activate button.
Message in local chat will confirm the hoop is ready
Swinging will now work. Sit on the hoop to swing.
The sitting avatar will get a dialog to change animations or adjust position. Choose from 5 poses and one animation of hoop acrobatics.
When the avatar stands, the hoop will move back to its resting position automatically, turn off physics, and apply a slow rotation
*Customizing*
To access the owner setup menu after the hoop is deployed, make sure you use Right Click -> Touch. The default click action is Sit while the hoop is deployed, so you must use the right-click option to access the menu.
*Changing Rope Length*
From the setup menu, selecting Rope Length will give dialogs to change the rope length in increments. The hoop will remain in the same place while the top of the rope will move up or down. Longer rope lengths take longer to move back and forth when swinging. The preset lengthå is 6 meters.
*Changing Swing Incline*
The setup menu also has an option Swing Incline, which lets you change the angle the hoop is lifted up to and then released when first sitting. The preset swing incline is 20 degrees.
If you change the length of the rope or swing angle, these will affect the area around the swinging avatar that needs to be clear of obstructions. The area at the top of the rope that needs to be cleared of (non-phantom) obstructions is always 1m around the top point.
*Warnings*
Do not move the hoop or invisible prim after it is Activated. Doing so may break the swing and could cause the hoop to fall.
Do not delete the invisible prim after it is Activated. Doing so will break the swing and cause the hoop to fall.
If the hoop does not appear to be swinging freely, either the hoop was not raised high enough, or something is obstructing the round hoop holder at the top of the rope. Make sure all non-phantom prims clear the hoop holder area.
*Permissions*
The swing and contents are all Copy, No-Mod, No-Transfer
The swing script will not work if extracted and used in other objects
