YavaScript Pod - Guided Tour System V5.0 Version 5.0

YavaScript Pod V5.0 guided tour system is an extensive development and rewrite of the popular YavaScript Pod V3 transport system. It is the version that you might have seen running on roads in world (though in-world versions have some minor development enhancements).

Its main features are:

Customisable:
- add your own textures, or re-make the vehicle to your own design. Buyers of this pod may additionally request the balloon, boat or funicular railway versions for no extra charge (these can be seen and tried on my land).

Physical OR non-physical movement:
- smooth rides for physical;
- the ability to go through things, or use vehicles with more than 31 prims, for non-physical;
- change between physical and non-physical mid-tour.

Auto-rezzer:
- One vehicle can stay rezzed; when a ride is taken, a new one will rez in its place. The ridden vehicle will delete on completion of the tour.

Caller:
- No vehicles need to be left rezzed; users just click the caller to get a vehicle.

Or leave permanently rezzed:
- Either waiting for a rider, or use the LOOP function to set vehicle on a continuous path.

Up to 12 tours per pod:
- Selectable by the first rider to sit, from a menu.

Easy set-up for owner:
- Menu driven; select commands from the menu. Output written to standard chat, which you simply copy and paste into a notecard and place in the vehicle.

Commentary:
- Vehicle can give a commentary as you travel.

Sim crossings:
- The internal use of the SL global coordinate system means sim crossings for the pod are no problem.

Wait/return tours:
- Riders can be taken to a place - such as a skybox, and the pod can wait for them (you specify how long). They can then get back on, to return - the return tour being separately specified.
- This same mechanism can be used to link a series of tours together, waiting for the rider at each location.

Rez objects:
- Anything can be rezzed by the pod; temporary items maybe, for effect;
- or drop a skybox into the pod (an example is provided), and let users ride up and have their own skybox. A script is provided in the example to cause the rezzed object to delete when the visitors have left.

Copy/Mod:
- You can extract the scripts, and use them in your own vehicle.
- Main scripts are not modifiable.

The instructions are provided in two versions; quick (for the impatient), and full (for the more advanced user). For more details, see these instructions notecards, available from the vendor in my shop in Basilisk, where you may also try out the pod before buying.

I have had a lot of fun (and frustrations at times!) creating this system. I believe it is now the most advanced such system in SecondLife. If you find a competing tour system which compares, I would like to know.

Questions? IM Yavanna Llanfair
Customer support is not charged; I enjoy it! But I do hope the instructions explain what has to be done clearly.
The only thing I would ever charge for would be custom enhancements, which would be considered on a case by case basis.
