Infinity Industries Ski Rezzer

Infinity Industries Skis Rezzer
-------------------------------------

The skis use a 'wearable' physics engine to simulate gravity, momentum and friction. Once you push off the top of a hill, you will slide down, so once you get going you only need to steer.
It works as a 'temporary attachment' to the avatar.

Instructions :

Drag the rezzer object from your inventory onto the ground at the top of your snowy hill.
IMPORTANT : the owner of the rezzer must have permission to build on the land, else the rezzer will not be able to create skis for visitors.

When someone clicks the 'SKI HIRE' sign, skis will rez in front of the sign.

They click the skis, and it will ask to attach to their avatar.
If they choose yes, the skis and poles will attach and they will get some simple instructions in a Dialog box.
**Turn off your AO animation overrider (and turn off 'ankle lock' if you use one), to avoid conflict with the ski animations.

The controls are quite simple, but steering is different in Mouselook view.

Up Arrow (held on) : push forwards, mostly for flat land or going up hill
Up Arrow quick tap : push to add speed
Down Arrow : emergency stop / go backwards
Page_Down : slowing brakes

Steering in Normal Camera View : Left and Right Arrow keys
Steering in Mouselook : point the mouselook in the direction you want to go

Click the skis to detach them at the bottom of the hill.

Owner Controls
-------------------
If the owner clicks the ski pole on the rezzer, they get a menu.
You can choose if the rezzer is public, or only for a group.
If you set it for group, the rezzer will ask you for the Group Key, which is a long string of letters and numbers that is unique to your group, and is shown near the top of your Group Profile details.

Notes :
The skis use a 'wearable' physics engine to simulate gravity, momentum and friction. Once you 'push off' the top of a hill, the skis will slide on their own, so once you get going you only need to steer.
If it feels slow then maybe steepen the start of your hill so it picks up speed sooner.
The skis are constantly checking 'how steep is the hill....?'
The steeper the hill, the faster you will go!
Friction slows the skis gradually on gentle slopes, so sometimes a quick tap on the Up Arrow is useful just to boost the speed a bit.
This rezzer version of the skis will only work from the rezzer.
The skis will detach if the avatar logs out or teleports elsewhere.

--- Feedback ---
I love feedback! Do let me know your thoughts, I am listening :)
The physics in the skis is a system I am evolving for other sliding/rolling activities.
I write all the scripts and do all the maths, so I can adjust and tinker based on feedback.
Any updates are issued free to anyone who owns it, as with all my items.

Most of all, I hope you have fun :)
