YOU MUST WEAR BOTH HUDS WHILE CREATING
AND DURING A PERFORMANCE
AND DURING A PERFORMANCE
You must configure the Group Formation System Controller to work with the Performance Director. You do this by editing the !! Configuration notecard inside. By giving the controller a "controller number," it gives the Performance Director the information it needs to assign the animations to the dancer numbers.
First - Configure the Controller(s)
|
Single Controller - 3 to 10 dancers 1. After rezzing the Controller, open the !!Configuration notecard inside and find the line #controllernumber 1
2. Delete the # at the beginning of the line, save the notecard and close it. 3. Reset the scripts in the Controller (or take it into your inventory and rez again). You should now see additional hovertext over the Controller.
|
|
Two or More Controllers - More than 10 Dancers
Follow the same procedure as above however on the second controller, change the 1 to a 2. This second controller will continue the numbering system so that each dancer does have a different number.
|
The dancer numbers, if all 10 spots are rezzed,
would be 1 through 10. Example Hover Text
Channel 1 Controller Number 1 |
The dancer numbers, if all 10 spots are rezzed,
would be 11 through 20. Example Hover Text
Channel 1 Controller Number 2 |
Second - Load a Recording (Macro) in the Group Formation System HUD
Learn how to create a recording (macro) with your Group Formation System.
Timing your movements to go with the animations you've chosen gives a much more polished overall look.
With a recorded movement ready for playback (loaded) in the Group Formation System HUD, pressing PLAY on your Performance Director HUD begins the animations AND the recorded movement.
This is entirely optional however, you can still manually press the controls on your Group Formation HUD while the animation routine is playing. If no recording (macro) is loaded, you will see a line in group chat saying:
"Spot On Group Formation HUD 1.6: No macro has been selected, cannot start playback" however you can ignore this message as it is for information only and not an error.
