Thank you for purchasing Jared Catteneo's General Avatar
IMPORTANT!!
Before you wear your new armor/avatar, please read the following...
======================
This Armor is based on General, leader of the Repliforce Faction of the MegaMan X/ RockMan X series.
This is a "macro-size" avatar, meaning it is VERY large and is TO-SCALE with General's ACTUAL size from the games!
What it comes with-
This avatar comes with three very important features. A Macro-size mesh, an avatar shape, and a Full Body Alpha to hide the previous mentioned items.
The avatar also comes with a very important feature:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!! (skip this paragraph for user commands)
A "Bounding Box." A Bounding Box is a "barrier" that determines the PHYSICAL shape of an avatar. ordinarily, macro-size avatars keep the same size bounding box as their "actual size" avatar shape. For instance, if you wear a 50 meter wide box on your avatar and walk through a doorway, the block will NOT get stuck on the doorway. It will pass right through it. The same applies to macro-avs and their body parts. This av however comes with it's own bounding box, which is a rezzed physical barrier that is in the shape of the avatar so that when/if people or objects would normally pass through your avatar, they not collide with it as though your avatar really WAS that large.
There are TWO bounding box types. One for standing, and one for crouching/ground sitting. This avatar rezzes a different one depending on what your avatar is doing to better match it's shape during those animations.
HOW IT WORKS:
Below are several commands you will want to know before using your avatar's bounding box
AUTOMATIC COMMANDS:
Auto-Phantom: When the box is too far from you, it will turn phantom to avoid obstacles and try to reach you before turning solid again.
Auto-Delete: When the box is too far from you, it will delete itself. It will also delete itself if you leave the sim.
Auto-Swap: When swapping from standing or ground sitting/crouching poses, the box will delete whichever one is out in favor of the corrosponding box-shape.
USER COMMANDS:
All commands are made on channel 88, meaning before each command, type /88, followed by the command (eg: "/88 box on") They are also case sensitive. Type them as they are shown below without quotes.
"box" = Rezzes a "standing" bounding box
"box on" = Turns the box solid if is phantom
"box off" = Turns the box phantom if it is solid
"lock" = Make the box non-physical in it's place so it cannot be moved.
"unlock" = Allows the box to move again.
"delete" = Deletes the box manually.
NOTES:
Since the box is physical, and you are inside it, you can only fit in spaces where the box can fit. EG: if your head doesnt fit under the doorway, you cannot get through unless your box is made phantom or deleted. However, because it is physical, it can also push other avatars and objects around with ease. other avatars may even stand on the box if they land on it and you can walk around with them on top of you! No pose balls required!
BUGS:
Occasionally the crouch box will collide with your avatar and attempt to push you in order to get to your center. Ground sit if you can, or delete the box. It is suggested to not be moving when attempting to crouch.
Sometimes the box does not match your rotation exactly. This is not my fault. SL has about 15 degree leeway when determining an avatar's rotation. The difference is VERY slight and not really noticeable.
