Intelligent Pose Balls

These Are My Balls! (tm)

Are your balls too promiscuous? Tired of every Tom, Dick, and Harriet playing with your balls? Dismayed at the forest of balls that appear when anyone says: 'show'? Help is here... get more control over your balls!

- Individually name your balls so that they respond only when addressed by name.
- Have them respond on the channel of your choice.
- Make them completely inactive when not visible.
- Optionally, restrict their visibility and use to a list of allowed users.
- Optionally, set a timeout after which the balls will hide themselves.
- Fully compatible with my Universal Control Device which can add an easy to use menu interface to control each ball set by name and channel.

Each pair of balls comes set up based on the common hug set. To use type: /1 show hugz, and /1 hide hugz. To tailor them to you own use simply replace the stock animation with the animation of your choice. Although I can offer no warranty, I have had no problem taking the animations out of other purchased ball sets and placing them in my own ball set or, conversely, replacing the script in purchased ball sets with my own script (do NOT try this with dance ball sets).

As with all ball sets, Setting them up may involve editing their position relative to each other by unlinking, moving, and relinking the balls.

All items except the scripts themselves are supplied with full perms.

Script pairs can be purchased as No Copy/Transfer for L$25 for the pair.
Or as Copy/No Transfer for L$500

Configuration options in the Pose Ball Config notecard:

title: the floating text to appear above the ball
sit_button: the sit text on the pie menu
channel: the channel number the ball will listen on
ball_name: the individual name of the ball
allow_list: indicates if a list of allowed users should be used to restrict the use of the ball
allow_group: indicates if group members are allowed to use the ball
timeout: sets a timeout value after which the ball will automatically hide itself

Example configuration:

title: His
sit_button: sit here
channel: 123
ball_name: cuddles
allow_list: on
allow_group: on
timeout: 0

Examples of use:

/123 show cuddles -> causes all balls set to channel 123 with the name 'cuddles' to become visible
/6 hide kiss -> causes all balls set to channel 6 with the name 'kiss' to become invisible
/123 show all -> causes all balls set to channel 123 to become visible
/6 hide all -> causes all balls set to channel 6 to become invisible

The commands will always respond to the owner.

If the 'allow_list' option is set to 'on' then the commands will respond to the users named in the Allow List notecard.

If the 'allow_group' option is set to 'on' then the commands will respond to users with an Active Group the same as the ball.

When invisible, any user (including the owner) that tries to use the ball will be unseated.

When visible and the 'allow_list' option is set to 'on', if a user that is not named in the Allow List notecard tries to use the ball they will be unseated.

If a ball is touched by an authorised user it will IM them with a reminder of its current command, for example:
...when invisible: /1 show hugz
...when visible: /1 hide hugz

Invisible balls absolutely cannot be made visible, be made to reveal their titles, or in any way be interacted with, unless the proper 'show' command is issued first, and the user is authorised to issue that command.

Your balls are now safe. :)
