IMPORTANT: This product requires basic editing skills such as copying region coordinates and notecard editing.
Please try out the inworld rezzed demo before purchase.
A scripted rocket pod that can serve as single-passenger transport or escape pod. The pod follows a notecard-configurated flight path and is NOT pilotable. A more stylish and fun way to ferry visitors around your sim than a teleport!

--------------------------------------
CONFIG Notecard Instructions
--------------------------------------
1. RESET_TIME: time in seconds between the passenger disembarkation and pod respawn
RESET_POS/ROT: position and orientation where the pod will respawn at
2. VMAX_SPACE/ATMO: maximum allowed velocity in space and atmosphere, respectively.
ATMO_CEILING setting determines the height of the Atmosphere/Space boundary.
3. WP/LAND: the navigation waypoints and landing site for the pod
- there MUST be exactly 1 LAND coordinate at the end of the waypoint list
- ensure the waypoint before landing is straight above the landing coordinates (SAME X and Y) so that the pod can land vertically.
--------------------------------------
Optional Rezzer Instructions
--------------------------------------
1. Rez out a copy of the "~isil~ Rocket Pod Rezzer sample"
2. Rez out a copy of the Rocket Pod, set up its CONFIG notecard
3. Drag a copy of the "~isil~ pod rezzer listener" script into the Rocket Pod root inventory
4. Pick up the Rocket Pod and drag it into the inventory of the rezzer object.
5. Use "Edit Linked" and Adjust the "RezPos" link in the rezzer object to adjust where the rocket pod will rez relative to the Rezzer root
6. You can also take and drop the rezzer's script into your own rezzer mesh or object. Make sure it has a linked object named RezPos.
7. Click the rezzer to rez
8. The Rezzer's description is the maximum copies of rocket pods this rezzer will allow to exist at any given time to prevent spamming. Default is 3.
--------------------------------------
Tips
--------------------------------------
1. To get the position of each desired waypoint and landing site, the easiest way is to rez out a copy of the pod at the desired location, and copy its position to the clipboard and paste into CONFIG.
2. A set of sample notecards have been included in the folder for your reference. The coordinates are based on the ~isil~ store sim so probably won't work on your land without adjustment.
3. If you only wish the use the pods for decor / static prop, delete the navigation script and replace it with the "~isil~ Rocket Pod Anim-Only NOFLIGHT" script.
4. Optional rezzer features: rezzes temporary pods on demands. Allows multiple copies from a single rezzer (configured via rezzer description). The pods will self-delete upon arrival or if the passenger disembarks.

Will there be more?
Isil Designs, This is the ONLY product I can find with this idea. I would LOVE to see you make different types of transport pods. Possible a rocket shuttle that flys straight up to a another landing point. Drop pods. Some type of fun way to get around cyberpunk sims similar to the rocket pods. Thank you so much for your work.
! ! ! The best Rocket Pod in all of Second Life ! ! !
The scripting work, the textures, animations and sounds are truly amazing !!! People who understand a little bit of scripting value this creation a lot, thank you very much to its creator, I leave you 5 big Stars ! ! !
Its pretty cool... but
I managed to get it to work once going up but I tried to do a decent and just could not make it work. I tried to get in touch with the creator but they never got back to me. So I have to give it a 3 just because of customer service.
Great alternative to "boring" teleports.
I m building a space station, and it will be a spaceport/heliport on ground.
Teleport is a great thing, but i wanted do something more funny, and these pods are perfect for that.
Setting needed a little bit work, and a lot (really a lot) of tests, but i m really happy with the result.
I can recommend that article. (i have 2 pods rezzed, 1 in space, and 1 on ground)
Excellent!
I prefer to use the rocket pod instead of teleport. It's easy to set up and the creator made it possible to have custom rotation when landing now too. That makes this a 5 star product in my opinion now. I'm very happy :)
Amazing realistic & fun experience
5 stars for a high quality detailed product, excellent scripting. It is a joy to ride to my space station in orbit and my friends and visitors just love it.
Watch out NASA and SpaceX – a new player 'ISIL~ has entered the manned missions bringing people into orbit! :D
Only wished the hatch would automatic close again, when the passenger disembarks.
