SETUP and USAGE:
The Host watch defaults to channel 10 to take the following commands:
chan: Changes the channel the watch takes commands on. The default is 10, so all commands herein would be prepended with '/10' and then the command(s).
name: Changes the Broadcast Name of the watch, which is the name that the watch appears to make announcements with. For example, if you set the name to "Henry" and then announced through the watch "Hello there!" all persons within 96 meters of you would see: "Henry: Hello there!" The name can be set to nearly anything, much to your delight and the dismay of your friends should you feel mischievous.
shout (also sh): Send a message through the watch, which will be prepended by the Broadcast Name.
emote (also em): This is like typing /me in front of your message. For example, if you set the name to "Henry" and then emoted through the watch "grins!" people would see "Henry grins!"
list: Gives a list of the last 10 shouts and emotes you made through the watch.
play: Use play to replay one of the shouts or emotes from the list above. If you wished to replay announcement number 5, you'd type 'play 5'
keygrab (also kg): Lists the keys of the people within 96 meters of you. This is handy if you need to get someone's key for access to a device or other application where a UUID is necessary.
rez: Brings up the rezzer dialog. (Clicking the watch face has the same effect) From here, you can have up to 12 items ready to be rezzed at the touch of a button. Items will be rezzed 1 meter above and in front of you, so in the case of large items such as vehicles in the watch, you may find yourself interpenetrated. It's not as painful as it sounds.
To add items to your watch for rezzing, right-click and edit your watch, going to the 'Contents' tab, and simply drag items in there. Remember, you have to have copy permissions on everything you want to rez, and there is a limit of 12 items, after which only the items closest to the top of the alphabet will be displayed on the rezzer dialog.
If you give it a command it doesn't know, it will tell you so and present you with a list of commands it does.
FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO TINKER:
The watch model is fully copiable and modifiable, should you find that you hate what we've done with it. The important parts to note are the main watch band, which is the root prim and holds the main watch script. The hour, minute and second hands also contain scripts to make them go. Each can be removed if you like, so if you hate having a second hand, simply unlink it from the watch and delete it.
As always, we recommend you make a copy of the original before you modify, just in case you foul it all up. Face it, we all do that sometimes.
