NOTE: If you have more than 1 poseball unit linked together you may experience problems. If using more than one in same object leave the poseballs UNLINKED from the main object to avoid issues. More info at bottom at notecard.


_____General Use__________________________

Owner sets out and configures. Avatars sit and earn L$ from the object owner for their time and work.

Owner may Touch object at any time for an Owner-Only Menu to Turn On/Off, Reset, Unsit the current user (they will be paid for time earned,) and check for new product Updates.

To change the animations, simply drag your new ones into the Object and then delete or remove any old animations from the inventory. You may have up to 21 total.


_____Setup Instructions_____________________

Rez the object somewhere.

Open object in EDIT. Under the CONTENTS TAB open the notecard entitled "Configuration."

Change the settings in the notecard, (see below,) and SAVE. Close Edit.

The object should reset automatically, (You can also Touch and choose "Reset" from owner menu.)

IF USING PAY MODE: Once loaded you will see a drop-down dialog message saying the object wants to "Take Lindens from you? Click yes. This allows the script to pay the users what they earn.

**These 2 advanced settings are very useful if using your own objects.
**SitTarget determines where the avatar is placed. The default is <0,0,1> which is 1 meter Above the center of the object. If your avatar is too tall and their legs stick into object you may try <0,0,1.5>, which is half a meter higher.
**SitRotation sets the direction facing of avatars. Default is <0,0,0> which is no rotation. If using own objects and avatar is rotated oddly, play with this setting. Here are valid examples: <0,0,-45> | <0,90,0> | <45,22,0> etc.

_____Customizing__________________________

• ADDING OR REPLACING ANIMATIONS
Open the Object in EDIT and go to the CONTENT tab. Drop in your animations and delete/remove any ones you do not want. You may have between 1 and 21 animations. (If only 1 animation inside object there will not be an animation dialog menu for users.) If no animations in object, default SL sit will be used.

• USING THE INCLUDED POSEBALL
The easist way to get started is to just set out the included poseball style on top of your objects. You should NOT link the poseballs to other objects if more than one will be used. If you do link ONE poseball to another object always be sure it is the Last Linked Prim (key prim.)

• USING YOUR OWN OBJECTS

1. Start by rezzing Paying Poseball.

2. Open the object and Copy the Contents to your Inventory, as you would a boxed item.

3. Create your object: Be certain that the last linked prim (key prim,) is the prim you want the user to Sit on. (In some cases this may be a poseball prim in your object.)

4. Transfer the scripts and animations from your Inventory to the new object.

5. Touch object and select 'Reset' to be certain it is ready.


_____Helpful Tips & FAQ's____________________

• If your object is not working:

-Check to be sure you have permission to run scripts on the land parcel and be sure the object is set to the right group if needed.

-Open object in EDIT and click on TOOLS at very top of screen, then choose "Reset Scripts in Selection."

• Deeded objects will not work correctly.

• If you have more than 1 poseball unit linked together you may experience problems including but not limited to timers being reset when more users sit down and it takes longer/less time for users to earn.

• To see invisible objects press CTRL+ALT+T to make them visible.
