~Albion~ German Military Parade

Entire groups of soldiers can now participate in a military parade. Up to a full squad of 12 can march with perfect synchronization and cadence in a variety of formations. The scripted and animated Military Parade is fully compatible with other Albion military products and works wonderfully with the Military Drill HUD and rifles, the German War Flag, as well as the German Officer's Saber.

-Operation-

Included are a variety of different parade formations, the names identify how many ranks and what number of available positions per rank. For example (1x2x2) means the parade has three ranks; the first rank at the front of the parade can hold one person, the second rank can hold two, and the third can also hold two. Not all the positions need to be filled to use a parade.

After choosing the formation you desire, rez it on the ground. The red poseball is for the commander (owner) of the parade, the black poseballs for everyone else. Upon sitting on a poseball a menu will appear. If you are using a parade-scripted sword (such as the ~Albion~ German Officer's Saber) press the 'Sword' button, otherwise press 'Normal." This specifies what marching animations to play for you. Pressing 'Z +' or "Z -" lets you raise or lower your avatar position relative to the ground depending on your shape. Once finished with the options press 'DONE.' Extra unfilled poseballs in the parade can be hidden by touching them.

To move, the commander presses the arrow keys (or 'wsad') The forward key does not need to be held down after movement is started. To increase or decrease the speed of march press page down or page up (or 'e' or 'c'). The commander has an additional options menu by typing /7m. This menu lets them choose the style of march; either "gleichschritt," the normal marching step, or else "stechschritt," the German parade or "goosestep." The marches will automatically sync, but if a manual sync is required the 'SYNC' button will do so. This can be useful in heavy lag situations.
