*** IMPORTANT: As of version 1.2.0, shapes are no longer required! The new system is purely script based! ***

Overview
------------
The Dynamic Hover Height (DHH) tool allows you to automatically change your viewer hover height depending on whether you're standing, crouching or ground sitting.

This is useful when your avatar animations don't quite line up with the ground, but to different amounts.

Pre-requisites
--------------------
DHH requires a viewer that supports hover height as well as RLV (Firestorm and Black Dragon tested).

Enabling RLV
--------------------
Examples for Firestorm and Black Dragon shown below (a viewer restart is required).

Firestorm: Preferences > Firestorm > Allow Remote Scripted Viewer Controls (RLVa)

Black Dragon: Preferences > Restrained Love > Enable Restrained Love (A)

Usage
---------
Attach the DHH object supplied in the box, then use /45hover command, as per below.

Usage: /45hover <stand_hover> <crouch_hover> <groundsit_hover>

eg. /45hover 0.0 -0.3 0.25

The above example sets standing hover to 0m, crouching hover to -0.3m and ground sitting hover to 0.25m.

Can be a bit tedious for beginners to set up initially, but ultimately is one of the most useful purchases for those using any small avatar. Automatic swapping of shapes when sitting and crouching, none to very few rez fails of the shapes, and honestly saves alot of needless height changing between positions. Used on my small ponies and all short avatars that SL so loves to bury into the ground. One of my best purchases on SL, would recommend to anyone hoping to escape an early burial. :)

idk why that other review is 4 stars? what this does is uses RLV to switch your shapes so your hover changes. It rules and I love it, exactly what I needed!

Simpler than you would expect

Essentially this product will swap between different shapes that you've made already by itself, and each shape would have a different offset to fit your position. The item itself does not do this, it is more a convenience.
