Anchor Script

This pack contains 4 scripts and a HUD. They allow you to raise and lower an anchor to your ship with the help of a HUD. Anchors are not included, but the script works to almost any.

HOW TO OPERATE

1 (take 1). ANCHOR DICTATOR script
Insert this script into the lowest prim of your anchor (if it is made of multiple prims).
1 (take 1). ANCHOR DICTATOR HEIGHT script
Insert this script to make your anchor not get too deep inside ground.
2. ANCHOR EXECUTOR ANCHOR script
Insert this script inside all other prims of your anchor.
3 (optional). ANCHOR EXECUTOR ROPE script
Insert this script in the rope or cable of your anchor.
4. ANCHOR HUD
Wear the HUD.

HUD COMMANDS

UP - lift anchor
DOWN - lower anchor
STOP - quickly raise anchor
REC - records anchor position, need to press a few seconds.

The REC function is mostly for builders. It records anchor's RAISED position. This is useful if you adjust your boat. If you press REC while the anchor is down, it will not move up.

DO NOT operate the anchor while the boat is moving. You can get it stuck or on abnormal positions.

FOR MERCHANTS AND BUILDERS

1. Feel free to use these scripts and the HUD for your creations. Please do whatever you want with them.
2. You can give the scripts to your friends.
3. DO NOT resell the scripts or the HUD as they are. Be a creator and not a thief.
4. DO NOT give the scripts as freebies.

ADDITIONAL INFO

1. ANCHOR DICTATOR HUD script
For builders, this is the script used for the HUD, slightly changed for each button.
2. If you want to set how far the anchor goes into the ground, at the 'ANCHOR DICTATOR HEIGHT' script, take a look at row 8. There, you will see:

float height=0.25;

Change 'height' to the height you want.

LIMITATIONS

1. This will not work for 'no-modify' objects.
2. Scripts will not work in 'no script' areas.
3. The 'rope' script will work well for ropes or cables, but will not work well for chains or other sculpted prims.
