This is a big, soft, cushy beanbag chair made for the Bird-E-Mart Manticore avatar. It lets you curl up in it with several cozy snoozy animations! (I can not be held responsible for these animations making you yawn!)

The Tintable version lets you recolour it, the Textureable version lets you put any texture you have onto it -- all without losing the baked-on shadowing!
Each chair costs 2 prims (2 LI).


Note: The included animations are named to be ready to drop into your Manticore HUD for use with the chat triggers.


Instructions:------------

1: Sit in the chair.
2: Snooze.

Optional: click the chair for the menu.
You can...

1: play/stop the base sit and all fidget animations.
2: change the timer for the random fidgets.
3: adjust the position of your avatar.

Note: You can use your regular Manticore sit by going to the Animation menu and choosing "CurledSit*l", which will turn off the base curled up sitting pose.
You can also use your Manticore Rest and Zzz poses on the chair.
(note: if you stop the Curled Sit animation and get stuck looking like a pretzel... just go to your Manticore AO HUD and hit the "Sit" button.)

WARNING: The yawning animations may or may not work with other avatars, and if it does not work properly, their tongues WILL GET STUCK.
If you have guests that like to use your chair, but they have this problem, you might consider taking the Yawn animations out of the SitFidgets notecard and resetting the 13T_FidgetSit script.

Modding:-----------------

Tintable: turn on Edit Linked and select the chair. Select a colour for it.
You can also change the shine and bump maps, if you want to mess with those.
Note: if you change the texture, you will lose the shading.

Textureable: turn on Edit Linked, and use the <= and => buttons on the build palette to make sure you have selected Link number 1. (You can tell when you see the texture turn to the purple paisley.)
Use any texture you own on this, with any number of repeats, rotations, etc.


If you do not want the shading on your chair, either change or remove the texture on the Tintable version, or unlink and remove Link number 3 (the shadow layer) from the Textureable version.
You can also unlink and remove the sphere on the bottom that has the cast shadow on it.

Also! If you want to save a prim, you can change the physics to Convex Hull. (I just like being able to stand on the seat of my chairs. You can also stand on the top of the beanbag chair.)

Scripting:----------------

I have released these scripts as open source; you may reuse them in any project you wish. Yes, even commercially. Just don't sell the scripts themselves, obviously.

13T_FidgetSit
You can set a base sitting animation, and a variety of fidgets or variations; either in the script itself, or in a notecard, or both.
The Adjust menu sends link message 90006, to activate either the included script or AVsitter(tm).

13T_SitAdjuster
This is based on AVsitter(tm), but is very very VERY stripped down. It works with ONE avatar and will save ONE sit target.
You can replace this with AVsitter(tm) version 2 or version 1, if you like.


Enjoy!
