Life Raft Deployment + Swimmer HUD Version 1.1a

Simply put: this is a Life Raft Deployment HUD to use when on your sail or motorboat or your high-flying aircraft and simply whenever you fall into the water..

Here's whachaget:

One Life Raft Deployment + Swimmer HUD and one show-off bag.

The Show-off bag is just a prop for a little eye-candy that you can attach to your boat, aircraft, tricycle, skateboard, whatever. That's all it's there for.

The HUD: When attached may ask your for animation permissions as it has a basic swimmer included. If you go into water (real water, not prim water) it will put you at the surface realistically: treading water with your head just above the surface. At least that's the intention. It will do this automatically - no need to switch into FLY mode (like you must do with your AO). It will switch into a breast-stroke if you move forward. That's it as far as animations, etc. (This is not intended to be an AO).

When you click on the HUD it will deploy a life raft about 3 meters in front of you. You will see a "satchel" drop and a raft inflate on the surface of the water. If you do this on land the raft will still inflate, though its only real use at this point is to protect you from land-sharks.

If the satchel lands on a prim (a prim floor or the deck or your boat, etc.) it is physical, so you can click on it and push it around (drag your mouse). This way you can push it over an edge into the water, etc.

The raft seats two. Oars are included if you want to use them, though there is (intentionally) no rowing animation, etc. The pose is that of cold, wet, and exhausted. Hopefully you have a radio beacon for signaling rescue help. The raft also will gently float around as though a slight under-current exists, with or without sitters.

SHIFT+SPACE GESTURE:
The life raft has a sensor in it: if no avatars are within 20 meters of it for a period of five minutes it will delete itself, so no worries about lost rafts. However, this is the default setting - the raft has a "Die Menu". Activating the included gesture and using it will bring up the Die menu where you can set the sensor range and how long it will wait before poofing away.

If you want it to hang around in perpetuity (as decoration at your boat slip or something) you can even set a "no die" mode. Though take note: as this raft will float around it could eventually float away. Way away.

This HUD is also included in the FAT PACK. This HUD is no-modify, all other elements in the FAT PACK are modify and include textures and scripts for customizing any way you choose (such as your organization's logos and things) and include public, personal, and group versions - This HUD is intended and designed for personal use only. Even so, it sure is a lot of fun.

Enjoy.
