User's Manual
=========================================
1) Rez the "Prayer Circle" object from your inventory
2) Touch the Prayer Circle for the "blue box" menu to show up
The choices you have in the menu are:
- Deploy: You can choose the number of pose balls to be deployed. You will receive a second menu where you can choose the number of pose balls to be deployed.
. Choosing +1 will add one extra pose ball to the current deployment and rearrange the current pose balls so that the circular deployment shape is nicely preserved
. Choosing -1 will remove ONE (the last one) pose ball
. Choosing OTHER will allow you to enter a number of your choice between 3 and 30. Each digit has to be entered separately, the blue menu showing up again after the first digit was entered. When you are done entering all the digits for the number you want click "OK"
- Clear: Will delete the currently deployed pose balls.
Don't forget to do this before you take the "Prayer Circle" object back to your inventory.
- Access: Allows you to control the access to the pose ball menu; You have the following options to choose from:
Owner only/Group/Everybody
- Stand: Set animation for pose balls to "Stand"
- Kneel: Set animation for pose balls to "Kneel"
========================================
IF YOUR AVATAR IS SMALLER THAN THE AVERAGE AVATAR
========================================
then your hands may not touch the hands of the avatars next to you in the circle.
In this case you can extend or stretch your arms AFTER you sit on one of the pose balls by saying in the chat:
/77 stretch
This is an on/off switch, which means that repeating it will retract your arms to their original position.
=========================================
Taking the "Prayer circle" back to your inventory
=========================================
To take the "Prayer Circle" back to your inventory you have to Right-Click it and choose "Take" from the Pie menu.
Because of some quirky SL features with transparent textures it may be hard to right click on the spinning prayer circle.
To make things easier you can:
- press Ctrl-3 first. This will bring up the Edit dialog.
- LEFT click on the prayer circle to easily select it
- When the Prayer Circle is selected with the Edit menu open it will stop spinning and it will be much easier to Right Click it for the Pie menu with "Take" to show.
=========================================
Using multiple Prayer Circle objects within close vicinity
=========================================
The Prayer Circle object is communicating with the deployed pose balls through an invisible channel.
When you choose to "clear" the deployed pose balls the
"Prayer Circle" object will SHOUT on this channel the "clear" command causing the balls to be deleted.
If you want to use two or more Prayer Circles within each others vicinity you have to change the communication channel for one of the Prayer Circles.
For this:
- Right click the Prayer Circle object and in the Pie menu choose Edit
- In the Object Description change the negative number to some other negative number. This is the channel number used by the Prayer Circle to communicate with the deployed pose balls.
