What is it?
========
The Starchild Productions Environment Changer allows you to easily change the shared environment setting for the person that touches the button or the tablet.

Why is this useful?
==============
With this environment changer you no longer have to dig through your inventory each time you want to select between your favorite environments.

Who might use this?
===============
I have created this for my home for ease of use. This product comes in the form of a button which you can stick through a wall so it points out on each side of the wall as a tiny lighted button, and also with a tablet that you can hang on the wall or put on your table, nightstand, or wherever you want to set the mood.

This could be a nice easy gadget for Home/Skybox owners, themed areas, mood lighting, etc etc.

You can easily copy the scripts and drop them in any other button or object to your own liking to match your scenery.

How to SET-UP?
=============
* Enable the 'Starchild Productions' Experience to your parcel or region.

* Make a copy of the environment settings you wish to use and rename their filenames to 12 characters or less, these will become nice menu buttons later.

* Rez an Environment Changer (either Button or Tablet version)

* Drop your favorite environment settings to the button's inventory. (Pro tip: Hold CTRL and drag environments to the button.)

* Note: Don't worry trying to remember this as the [SP] Environment Changer will easily guide you through this initial setup process automatically.

How to use?
=========
* Click the button or tablet to select an environment from the menu.

What is required?
=============
* The Starchild Productions Experience has to be enabled on the land or region.

* The user that clicks has to allow the experience for the environment to change.

What are its limitations?
==================
* The environment cannot be applied to the parcel or region but only locally to the user clicking it.
(this is currently a lindenlab limitation)

* The menu can display a maximum of 10 environment settings.
(Please let me know if there's a need for more, as a paginated menu feature is possible to add if needed.)

* Does not include environment settings. You can get many here on MP from stores and lots are free.

What are the permissions?
====================
Tablet: Copy and modify. 2LI
Button: Copy and modify. 1LI
Script: Copy only.

* Released 16 Nov 2022
Feedback and reviews are much appreciated.

This is the perfect tool if you create art installations . Being able to manipulate the environment, especially with PBR textures can really add that extra something.

Great Product for Themed areas

I got this unsure how well it would work, but as I have multiple areas on my Sim with different themes and SL limits you to 3 levels, I decided to give it a try.

It works exceptionally well. I've already had visitors who have tried it out and been able to change the atmosphere to give them a variety of settings on the same location.

A Desert with a dusty sunrise, or a yellow sun in the sky or even two planets' over-head (Stargate Franchise). A Space station around Saturn or Earth. A haunted forest with a sky filled with galaxies, foggy weather, or an October Moon.

The actual device is small but modifiable. I enlarged it and added instructions for visitors, but with that it was very easy for them to use. And they kept checking all of my locations to try the different environments.

Highly recommended for anyone doing themes for sure, or for stores selling EEP's. Be great for Demos of that vs just buying a picture.
