1. a tightrope walker.
[from Latin fūnambulus rope dancer, from fūnis rope + ambulāre to walk]

Have you ever wanted to be a funambulist? Well now you can! At the circus of on the beach, amaze your friends with you mastery of balance with this tightrope walking set. The package contains a pair of anchor posts that are linked by a (particle) rope, simply sit on the start platform and you will walk to and fro along the rope.

Slackliners: this line does not do justice to the dynamics of a loose slackline. But if you would like to rig up a 'highline' and walk like Dean Potter then this is ideal for the job. No safety but no risk!

Features:
- variable position (length & height) with auto-alignment
- multiple lines per region/parcel, edit 'description' to make line pairs
- turn at any time with R/L arrow keys
- touch start platform for control menu
- auto & manual walk modes
- basic walk animation only (no yoga tricks, yet...)
- adjustable avatar height

Setup:
- rez a platform and anchor post, position as desired, ideal length is around 10m
- edit both to set a shared/unique ID in the object 'description'
- touch the anchor post to start listening
- touch the platform post to align and create particle rope
- to unset the line right click & Touch the start platform

Usage:
- default click for the start platform is Sit if ready for use, or Touch for menu if in use
- simply Sit on the start platform, your avatar will start to walk back and forth along the rope
- click/Touch the start platform for options to turn or adjust avatar height offset
- unsit at any time to step off the rope

Auto-align:
Position the anchor and start platform posts as required on the X/Y plane. Adjust the height (z-axis) of the start platform so that it is at the desired height of the rope. When the posts are touched to activate the rope system they will turn to face each other and the anchor post will adjust its height to match the start platform to create a level rope

Keyboard controls:
Left/Right arrows - turn to opposite direction
Up/Down arrows - move along the rope (manual mode only)
PgUp/PgDn - adjust avatar Z-axis +/-

Bugs:
There are bugs and gotchas, including but not limited to...
- if the X position of both posts is identical then in reverse direction the avatar walks backwards rather than turns
- particle rendering for the rope is less than prefect, hopefully update with the new PSYS_PART_RIBBON_MASK flag coming soon
