Manual & Resources
Basic installation guide
- Rez the Greeter;
- Edit the configuration notecard in the content of the Greeter (read well the included instructions and set the configuration parameters as you prefer);
- Save the notecard and wait until the end of the initialization. Done!
If you want the Greeter to give a landmark and/or a notecard to your guests, simply drop it/them into the device!
Set longer welcome messages
If you set a too long message to greet your guests, the script might cap it.
To write a longer text, you can add to the configuration notecard the following string:
#WELCOME_MESSAGE2 = NONE
Then replace NONE with the second part of your message. Nobody will notice it 😉
Restrict the greeter to a floor of a multi-storey building
The script can’t use a square bounding box sensor, so the Greeter may interfere with the other floors of the building.
To restrict the Greeter to a floor, you can make it flat and stretch it so that it covers the area you want to scan, then set #SENSOR_RANGE = 0.
Finally, make the Greeter invisible by using the “Edit” tools of your viewer.
The avatars that walk on the device will be greeted.
