IMPORTANT:
- This only needs to be done by those wishing use multiple controllers by the same owner on one sim and use them simultaneously.
- Controllers must be at least 150 meters apart in any direction
- When using this feature, ALL Calling Posts on the sim must have this configuration.
- If a Controller is taken into inventory and re-rezzed, a new Key is generated so will have to be updated in the Calling Post.
- The HUD will only interact with a controller within 50 meters.
- Each controller needs to have dances in it. They cannot share dances from one controller.

COPY THE CONTROLLER KEY
Every time you rez something, a unique ID (key) is assigned to that object. If you take it back into inventory and re-rez it, SL assigns a new key. So if you re-rez, always update the Key! The point here is to tell the Calling Post what the Key is for the controller nearest it. To do that, first: 1. Edit the Controller 2. Click the COPY KEYS button This copies the key and waits for you to paste it somewhere. |
