Universal Vehicle Rezzer

Use this rezzer system to allow your visitors to use any of your vehicles* on your land (and beyond, if object entry is allowed).

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY!

Using the TBF Universal Vehicle Rezzer requires the following:

Requirement 1. A vehicle that is Copy and Mod and can be driven by anyone, not just the owner. Some Mod vehicles may appear No Mod in your inventory. This is because the scripts inside may be No Mod. When you rez the vehicle, it may be Mod after all. Warning! If your vehicle is No Copy, you may lose it permanently, when rezzed by the vehicle rezzer!

Requirement 2. An object, like a sign or a control panel, that will tell people that clicking that object will result in a vehicle being rezzed. E.g., in the case of a boat rezzer, this could be a pole with a lifesaver bearing the text 'Click to rez boat'.

In order to set up the TBF Universal Vehicle Rezzer, the following steps have to be taken:

Step 1. Prepare a rezzing location and a rezzer sign, e.g. a wooden sign on a pole, marked with the text: 'Click to rez vehicle'. Make sure there is enough room for any of your vehicles to rez and drive away.

Step 2. Highlight transparency (Control-Alt-T), rez the Universal Vehicle Rezzer object and move and rotate the object such, that the root prim, shaped like an arrowhead, is positioned exactly where you want vehicles to rez. The direction of the arrowhead will determine in which direction the vehicle will be rezzed.

Step 3. Select the linked, box-shaped child prim of the rezzer and reposition it around the rezzer sign.

Step 4. Rez one or more vehicles and set up each vehicle such that everyone can drive it.

Step 5. Rename each vehicle. Make sure the name has no more than 11 characters. The name will appear in the dialog of the vehicle rezzer. If the name is too long, the rezzer will produce a script error.

Step 6. Put the 'TBF Universal Vehicle Rezzee (Put in Vehicle)' script inside each vehicle. Do not Control-drag the script from your inventory onto the vehicle itself. This will turn the script off. Instead, drag the script from your inventory into the Contents tab in the Edit window.

Step 6b (optional). Open the script and change the OFFSET_POSITION value at the top, if your vehicle is larger dan the other vehicles you want to add to the rezzer. E.g. if the vehicle in question is 2 m taller than the others, change the OFFSET value from <0,0,0> to <0,0,1>. Save the script after changing it.

Step 6c (optional). Change the OFFSET_ROTATION value at the top of the script, if the default rotation of your vehicle is not aligned with the direction of the rezzer's arrowhead. E.g. <0,0,90> rotates the vehicle 90 degrees anti-clockwise (right-hand rule) upon rez.

Step 7. Pick up the vehicles and put them in the rezzer.

Step 8. Click the rezzer and set up access (click 'Access' several times to toggle between owner, group and everyone) and select the desired vehicle survival time (amount of time before an abandoned vehicle disappears).

Step 9. Sometimes, despite being Mod, certain vehicles do not tolerate additional scripts and their behavior may be affected. Therefore, it is important that you test all vehicles from the rezzer, preferably with an alt or by a friend, to check whether these vehicles also work for non-owners.

After performing all these steps, you're all done. Happy rezzing and driving!

* Disclaimer 1: some vehicles fail to rez at the right position or rotation, despite any modified OFFSET_POSITION or OFFSET_ROTATION settings. This may be caused by potential repositioning by the original vehicle scripts. (Please test the vehicles after adding them to the rezzer.) The rezzer does not include any vehicles or signs. The creator will not provide any custom work or assistance with regard to building. The rezzer is Mod. The script inside the rezzer is No Mod. (The add-on script for vehicles is Full-Perm.)

* Disclaimer 2: Does not work with WarBugs. These have their own rezzers (see Related Items below). The rezzer WILL work with the TBF Caddie Golf Cart and the TBF Skiff (also advertised below).
