Club Mover System

  • Easy setup and low lag! 
  • Owners can use the Spot On Experience for no-hassle use by their guests.
    • Spot On Experience must be enabled on the parcel to use this feature.
    • Guests can still participate if they don't accept the Spot On Experience.
  • Configurable permissions for hosts, DJ's, etc., or group to control the device.
  • Auto mode allows for a hands-free operation for those tech-challenged employees!
  • Seamless operation for shift changes for hosts, DJ's, etc.  
  • Auto or manual dance and movement changes with desired timing.
  • Add dances at any time, even while dancers are using the system.

  • No limit to the amount of dances it will hold.
  • Automatically adjusts for an individual's height.
  • Hide the controller under the floor using the Height Offset feature or set it to 100% transparent.
  • Allows for the use of Spot On Smooth Dancer, if desired.  Guests will get a pop-up to join it.
  • Several color options for the Calling Post or drop the Calling Post script into an object of your choice.  
  • Anklelock on all participants
  • Updates and support for life!

  • CALLING POST -  An object which can be rezzed in world, allowing avatars to click and join the dance, and authorized users to obtain a HUD.
  • MOVER - The dance spot that comes out of the controller and moves to an avatar to automatically pick them up (with Spot On Experience) or allow the avatar to sit on it (without Spot On Experience).
  • CONTROLLER - The main controller for the product, which must be rezzed in the center of your dance area. You put dance animations in this and edit the Configuration notecard inside to enable desired features. 
  • HUD - The HUD used by the owner and authorized users to control this device.

Optional:  Allow the Spot On Experiences for your land​​ (see below)

1.   Rez the Controller and place it generally in the center of your dance floor.  You can always adjust it later and the dancers will follow.
​2.  Edit the Controller to add dance animations by dragging them from your inventory into the Controller's CONTENT tab.
3.  Configure any desired permissions and features in the !! Controller Config card (see below).
Rez a Calling Post and place it where your visitors can easily see it.  (You can rez more than one.)

Options with the Calling Post:  
- Several color options available
- If some users with lower graphics capabilities have trouble seeing the mesh post, you can place the Calling Post script in an object of your choice.
​You and any authorized users can now LEFT-CLICK / HOLD on the Calling Post to receive a HUD.  
"Add" the HUD from your inventory and place it where you want it on your screen.
​See below for HUD details.
​When a guest left clicks the Calling Post:

 Guests who accept the Spot On Experience (with no pop-ups after the initial Experience pop-up):
  • A Mover will go to them wherever they are on the land
  • Pick them up and move them into the formation
  • Animate them
Guests who refuse the Spot On Experience (each time):
  • A Mover will go to them wherever they are on the land
  • They will need to manually "SIT" on the Mover
  • They will need to manually agree to the animation permissions pop-up
​
​Click the HUD to change formations, dances, and rotations manually, or click AUTO on Dances and Formations plus the time that you want them to automatically change.  The dances and formations will randomly change according to the set time.  (Watch local chat for confirmation of choices.)
See Dance HUD below for descriptions of each button.
Dance HUD
  • Only the owner and authorized users can control the device.  Add the HUD from inventory to use it.
  • The HUD will be automatically updated whenever new dances are added to the Controller.
  • For others to receive a HUD, add their name (or add the group) in the !! Controller Config notecard as described below.  
  • Authorized users can LEFT-CLICK / HOLD on the Calling Post for about 5 seconds and RELEASE.  When they release, the HUD will be delivered to them.
  • The HUD is good for any Spot On Experience to which the user has access.  
  • Users can get a HUD at any time.  
  • Minimize the HUD by pressing the dash in the top right corner to clear up screen space when on Auto.

Spot On Experience

<

The Spot On Experience allows you and your guests to give permissions one time to the system.  This means you and your guests who have allowed the Experience can click on the Calling Post and be automatically added to the formation and animations, even in other locations.  

The SPOT ON EXPERIENCE only animates and "sits" an avatar, and only while on the system.  As soon as they stand, the Experience for them will be turned off until they click the Calling Post again.  

BENEFITS:
- Users will no longer need to manually give permissions to animate each time, only the first time.
- Users won't have to manually "sit" on the Mover when it comes to them.
- Users with lower graphics capabilities will not have trouble finding the object to sit on.  
- New Residents will have far less problems trying to join the dance group.
- The Spot On Experience permissions are good wherever the system is on the grid and Experiences has been enabled.
- Will allow for future features (like rezzing an object for each dancer).  ​
- Users can revoke the Experience at any time.
- Users who do not accept the Spot On Experience can still use it, but they must manually sit on the mover and accept the dance invite pop-up.
- One-time permissions work anywhere on the grid!
​You must be a land owner or manager with permissions to enable this feature.
  1. Go to About Land options, Experiences tab.
  2. Beside the Allowed Experiences section click “add."
  3. In the Choose Experience popup, enter Spot On and click GO.
  4. ​In the returned results select Spot On Experience and click OK.
Once enabled on your land, guests who click the Calling Post will get an invitation to allow the Experience.  
Users can enable or revoke an Experience at any time:
  • Firestorm:  Avatar --> Experiences
  • SL Viewer:  Me --> Experiences

Configure Features - Controller
Edit the !! Controller Config notecard inside the Controller to enable the desired features.

OPTIONAL:  Most users don't need to enable this.  
For those wishing to override the animations inside the system and use their Spot On Smooth Dancer, enable @sd_invite (remove the # sign in front of the line)  This option will automatically invite people who sit on a Mover to your Smooth Dancer HUD.  You will need to remove them from the HUD when they wish to stop.  

Disabled:  #@sd_invite
Enabled:  @sd_invite
Choose one of the dances inside to play while PAUSE is clicked on the HUD.  The name must be the exact same name as the desired dance. This can also be a stand animation.  It's a good idea to remove the "Figure Eight Bounce" dance from the HUD now because it will be played in the rotation when on Auto.  (It's an awful dance!)
​
@idledance <exact name of the dance>
If enabled, group members wearing their group tag can LEFT-CLICK / HOLD for a few seconds to receive a HUD from the Calling Post. The Controller needs to be set to the proper group using SL Edit Tools.  

​Group Access Enabled:  @group
Group Access Disabled:  #@group
To hide the controller, either move the controller above or below the floor, or use the SL edit tools to make it 100% transparent.​

Used to avoid an alpha clash with textures on your dance floor, you can move the controller below your floor and keep the movers floor-level.  The below example will rez the movers 1 meter above the controller so you can place the mover 1 meter below the floor.  Maximum allowed is -5 meters to 5 meters.
​Default is 0, floor level.

Example:  @height_offset 1
To allow only certain individuals to control your device and receive a HUD from the Calling Post, type their user name (NO display names) in the list. ​
  • User names must be EXACT - no periods, no display names, exact capitalization
  • All users have a surname so if there is none showing in the profile, it is Resident.

Configure Calling Post Color

Edit the notecard inside the Calling Post and enter the color you want according to the colors listed on the diagram.  The diagram is also in the Calling Post.
If you prefer another object to be your Calling Post, simply drop the Calling Post script into the object.
