GENERAL INFO

This advanced scripted helipad system includes a framed helicopter landing pad (helipad), a Remote Control (RC), & a detailed manual. All items are copyable. The Remote Control (RC) is also transferable so you can give out copies to your friends/staff members

Each helipad (pad) includes four simulated lights that can be turned on, off, or can be commanded to flash on & off. Since the lights are simulated via texture changes, each pad only requires 1 prim for the pad and 1 prim for its frame. If you are low on prims, you can unlink the frame & throw it away

HOW TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM

You helipads can be controlled 3 ways:

1.0 HELIPAD MENU
2.0 REMOTE CONTROL MENUS
3.0 CHAT COMMANDS

1.0 HELIPAD MENU

With the helipad menu you can

1) Turn the pad lights on, off, or set them to flash
2) Hide or make the pad visible
3) Enable or disable control from the RC
4) Set the pad to Owner only or Anyone modes (only Owner can set these)
5) Set the pad's size from 0.1 to 64 m
6) Set the pad's thickness from 0.01 to 20 m
7) Set the pad to display either 1 or 4 pads on its surface

2.0 REMOTE CONTROL MENUS

The Remote Control (RC) allows you to individually control & monitor your pads by name. Pads can be anywhere in the region. You can:
1) Turn any pad on, off, or set it to flash
2) Hide any pad or make it visible
3) Set any pad to Owner only or Anyone mode
4) *Request xyz positions of all pads
5) *Request Pad status from all pads
*Position or status of all pads is sent to RC's local chat & optionally to the owner. The RC can also send out every change that happens to every pad as they happen. These "individual" status outputs are enabled/disabled in the RC's SETUP menu

SAMPLE XYZ
West Helipad | <159, 169, 3700>
Airport Pad | <140, 80, 20>
North Helipad | <132, 186, 3700>
Shuttle Pad | <88, 136, 20>

SAMPLE PAD STATUS
Airport Pad | On, Hidden, Owner, RC On, 1x1, S:16.000, T:1.000

Shuttle Pad | Flashing, Visible, Owner, RC On, 2x2, S:15.000, T:0.150

The RC's SETUP MENU allows you to:

1) Set the RC to Owner only or Anyone mode
2) Determine where the individual pad status changes get sent (owner only, to local chat at the RC, both, or neither)

3.0 CHAT COMMANDS

You can also control the main functions of your pads via chat. You have to be within a 20 m range of your pad. All pads within range will respond. You can extend the range to 100 m by "shouting".

With chat commands you can:
1) Turn the pad lights on, off, or set them to flash
2) Hide or make the pad visible
3) *Ask pad to send its status to the RC (same as if the RC had requested pad status)
4) *Ask pad to send its position to the RC (same as if the RC had requested it)
5) Can set the pad to Owner only or to Anyone mode (pad only listens to the Owner for these 2 commands)
6) Request a help note card
*If you are the owner & have set up the RC properly, you will receive the status or position data

4.0 STAFF OPERATION

If you want only certain people to operate the pads and not just anyone, then you can set each pad to "Owner Only" mode and then provide a copy of the RC (set to Anyone mode) to your staff members. They can then use their RC to control most aspects of the helipads. Set the RCs to NO-COPY, NO-TRANSFER before you give them out
