MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS ON YOUR SIM (Version 1.5)
USE CASE:
Multiple venues on a sim with different themes, etc. You may have a sky bar and a beach venue for example. This is a way for you to always have a Controller and Calling Post at those sites without having to pick one up to use at a different site.

IMPORTANT:
- This only needs to be done by those wishing to rez more than one controller on their sim by the same owner.
- Controllers must be at least 100 meters apart
- 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.
SETUP AT EACH SITE

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. |
