Information text for Sim-Safe
Copyright 2011 by Taylor Schroeder
===========================
Laggy sim? Do you wish you could turn off some of your scripts with the touch of a button?
Do you have traps set out everywhere, but you have a visitor you want to allow in, unharmed?
Do you have a club that lags the entire sim, but you only have dances on Saturday nights?
Then Taylor Made Sim-Safe is for you!
Put the "Sim-Safe Region Control Client" script in every modifiable object you own (traps, doors, vendors, dance floors), then put the controller where you can easily get to it. Touch the controller and get a lovely menu! "Scripts on" or "Scripts Off". Do you want different words? "Armed" and "Safe"? It's configurable! And it can control EVERY object (that you own) in the entire sim! (You must have modify privileges to the item)
Also, with the touch of a button, you can find out where every controlled object is. "Beacon On" will send a blue streak into the air so you can easily identify the controlled objects. ("Beacon Off" to resume normal mode.)
Feature List:
1) Menu Driven
2) Configurable group-only or you-only mode
3) Configurable button names
4) You can move the Master Controller script (and config card) to the object of your choice. (A quill, a blotter, a lever, a bookshelf.)
Caveats:
1) The client script is copyable. You can put it everywhere!
2) The Master controller is not copyable. (If you want to have the controller in two parts of the sim, buy two controllers.)
3) You can ONLY put the script in items you own and can modify.
4) You must own the item to be controlled.
5) You must be within 10m of the controller.
6) You can set it for YOU-ONLY or GROUP use of the controller.
7) This does not shut down the scripts. It suspends them. If you had a particle poofer, it will still poof.
Only put the client script into objects that have scripts that need to be turned off. (There is probably need to put this script in the rocks!)
=================================
Easy use:
1) Open the "TM Sim-Safe Controlled Child" box (It's brown)
2) Save the "Sim-Safe Region Control Client 1.0" script to inventory.
3) Place this script in every object you want to control
4) Drop the TM Sim-Safe Master Controller somewhere (DO NOT RENAME THE BOX!)
5) Touch the Master Controller to control your script usage
What does it do?
The Sim-Saver sits beside your other scripts, listening for the Master Controller. When it hears the right command, it shuts down the other scripts. Or turns them all on again.
Technical note: Each child script has a 'listener', adding its own tiny bit of lag. If you use this extensively, it might add additional lag. However, if you have vendors with multiple scripts in them, then shutting down 20 scripts might do a lot to boost sim performance! Extremely low lag; only the overhead of another script plus a single listener on an obscure channel. If you want a less-laggy solution, talk to Taylor Schroeder about retrofitting her existing traps to use this solution!
IT WILL WORK ON EVERY SCRIPTED OBJECT IN THE ENTIRE SIM!!!
