Arm in Arm Walk / Fly /Swim Couples Vehicle

Arm in Arm Walk / Fly /Swim Couples Vehicle

This is a vehicle that allows you to move around in tandem with another avatar. To use it you must drop it on the ground, and sit on it. (This item is a Vehicle, it is NOT an attachment.)

It is similar to the Abranimations Couples Walks, however this vehicle allows you to fly and swim as well.

When you drop the vehicle on the ground you will see two main sections, one part is blue and one part is pink.
(Note This is not necessarily to denote male/female, although in most cases it probably will.)

The driver of the vehicle, who controls all the movement must sit on the blue section. Only one Avatar, can control the movement. Once both avatars are sitting the couples walker can be controlled using the arrow keys for forward/back and turning. And the page up page down keys to fly/swim up and down.

If you are walking and you press page up, you will go into flight mode.
If you are flying and you land on the ground or a prim surface you will go into walk mode.
Upon entering water (Not Prim Water) you will go into swim mode.

The vehicle attempts to automatically adjust itself to the surface height, this is so that you can walk over prim surfaces, and natural terrain, go upstairs etc. The physics involved in this is quite complex, occasionally you may encounter problems. Using the page up and down keys you can fly up and down if you get into difficulty moving over a prim or particularly steep terrain.

Options Menu
***********
If you type /99menu in chat you can access the options menu.

The menu has the following options...

Speed - This menu option allows you to adjust the speed at which he walker will travel.

Camera - This has some special camera options which are much smoother than the traditional fixed camera view.

AllowDriver - This allows another avatar to take the drivers seat. When they stand up permission will be removed. They will need to be granted permission again before they can sit in the driver seat again.

Hide/Show - This turns the platform invisible/visible (You can also use the commands /99hide and /99show in chat)

FloatOn/FloatOff - Havok 4 has changed a lot of behaviour of the physics in secondlife. I have added two options you can toggle between in the options menu. FloatOn will cause the avatar to hover with neutral buoyancy. This option is probably best for most uses, however you may find if other avatars are near by you float up as Havok 4 tries to separate the avatars apart it seems. If you toggle the option FloatOff, you will slowly sink counteracting any unnatural upward forces. This option will also help the walker try and adjust to the floor level automatically. You may find on some surfaces though, it feels like you are dragging your feet a bit. Use either option depending on what seems to work best for you at that time, on any particular surface.

AdjustPos- Although you can still reposition the two sections of the walker by hand using the sl edit controls, you may find the AdjustPos menu useful. It allows you to shift the passenger section around by units of 1 and 10. Please note though that due to the way SL works, you will not see any visible change until the passenger Avatar stands up and sits down again.
