Bring the party to life with the Multi-Person Dance Pad — a sleek, easy-to-use dance object that lets multiple avatars pick and play animations from your in-world animation library. Designed for clubs, party sims, roleplay venues, and creators who want a polished, professional dance experience, this dance pad features a paginated dialog menu so guests can quickly find and trigger the exact dance they want — even when your animation list is long.
Installation is plug-and-play: rez the pad, drop your animations into the object's inventory, set channels (automatically handled by the script), and it's ready to dance. When an avatar touches the pad the script opens a neat dialog menu that displays a page of animation buttons; players pick a dance by name, navigate pages with “Next” and “Back,” or stop dancing entirely with the “Stop” button. The menu times out automatically to keep chat uncluttered, and the pad safely requests animation permissions before triggering any animation.
This pad is built for groups. It tracks multiple dancers simultaneously, so several visitors can dance at once using different animations. If a dancer selects a new animation, the pad stops their previous dance and plays the new one. Site owners can update the pad by simply adding or removing animations from its inventory — the script watches for inventory changes and refreshes the menu automatically. If you change the owner of the object, it will safely reset to avoid accidental misconfiguration.
Customization and moderation are simple. The object respects animation permissions and uses a per-touch listen channel to keep each user’s menu interaction private and reliable. Menu page size is configurable (the default shows nine buttons per page), and a timeout prevents abandoned dialogs from remaining open. The pad also announces basic status messages to the region chat so staff know it’s active or when the animation list changes.
Whether you run an active dance club, host community events, or design interactive experiences, the Multi-Person Dance Pad provides a friendly, polished interface for guests to express themselves. It’s ideal for DJs and promoters who want a low-maintenance dance system that integrates directly with animations already in your object. Because it uses the avatar’s local animation permissions, it works cleanly with both custom and default animations and avoids server-side animation conflicts.
Technical highlights you’ll appreciate: the script uses paginated menus so even huge animation libraries remain usable; it supports simultaneous dancers by maintaining parallel lists of dancer keys and their current animations; and it gracefully handles inventory updates and owner changes. The pad offers clean feedback to the user (private messages and region notices) so both dancers and staff always know what’s happening.
In practical use you’ll find the pad effortless. Drop your curated animation pack into the pad, rez near your dance floor, and invite guests to touch it. The dialog shows a clear page indicator so guests know how many pages there are and where they are currently browsing. Navigation buttons let them flip through pages or return to the previous page. The Stop button gives dancers immediate control. If a dancer leaves or switches animations, the pad tidies up its dancer lists automatically, ensuring the system remains responsive and bug-free.
For creators and scripters, the code is cleanly written, well commented, and shipped with copy/modify permission so you can adapt the behavior: change how many buttons appear per page, tweak the timeout, alter the menu text, or expand the pad to emit scripted events for streamlining DJ automation. Developers can easily extend the pad: add group dance modes, integrate with event boards, or tie into HUDs and remote control objects.
Support and documentation come included. The package contains a straightforward setup guide with step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting tips — from granting trigger animation permission to common causes if an animation fails to start. If you’re a club owner who wants a consistent look, the object’s face geometry can be resized and textured to match your venue’s aesthetic; because you have modify rights, you can tailor visual elements without touching the core script.
Why this pad? It’s stable, simple, and flexible. It respects avatar permissions and provides a friendly UI for guests. It’s perfect for club owners who want a polished user experience without technical overhead. It’s also a great starter product for creators who want a base they can expand into event automation, choreography controls, or themed seasonal dance pads.
