TIPS & NOTES
• The handle is usually invisible when not making a balloon. It shows briefly while you’re choosing colours or building.
• Your colour choice is remembered even when the handle is hidden.
• If animations stop working, detach and re-attach the handle and re-grant permissions.
• If a balloon doesn’t appear, check there is room to rez and that the land allows object rezzing.
• The sword in this balloon is a special balloon, if you click on this it will attach so you can fight people. For other people it will attach as a temporary attachment. When other people click the sword balloon to Grab it, it will ask them for permission to attach.
Have fun making balloon animals!
