Creating a Thrower-Rezzer This demonstrates how to give the illusion of throwing a Palette that is attached to an avatar. There are many facets to this commonly-used approach of ‘throwing a held object‘.  The Palette Thrower-Rezzer method is the proposed method for throwing from inside of an animation.  Our Thrower provides very granular control over… Read more

RemoveFolder If this entry on the *thrower nc is NOT BLANK, then any and all items attached to the nc-owning avatar that are in this inventory folder will be detached/removed as the last step in a throw. Be sure to specify the FULL PATH, as it assumes no parent folders. Examples: RemoveFolder,For Throwers\FedoraHat You can… Read more

AutoReturn This is used to automatically return a throwable Palette home, after it is thrown. Requires Moveable,on ability. Example: AutoReturn,10 It is meant to be used during practice or the creative process but might find a use for it during a live show.

Matrix Matrix is a term used to describe special in-flight change of velocity (speed)…usually a slow-down to possible stop. It requires Velocity,on  in the *thrower nc. Example: SetVelocity,on Velocity,<0,2,2.66> On the *thrower nc: /* Post Matrix SetMatrix,(on/off) MatrixSpeedFactor,3.0 MatrixDelay,2.0 MatrixNonPhysAfterWait,4 After a Matrix-Enabled Palette is thrown, it will change speed after MatrixDelay seconds have elapsed… Read more

Receiving/Catching a Thrown Embedded Palette To be eligible to receive a thrown Palette, indicate the body-part number on the *thrower nc in the inside(embedded) Palette using: Example: Receiver,6 This Palette must first be prepared.  The receiving avatar must “touch” it and grant “attach”  permissions. Then it must be placed back into the throwing  (outside/attached) Palette.… Read more

The outside(attached) Palette must have: Rezzer,on  — on IT’s *thrower nc. AND RezObjectName,(inside-embedded object name) — on… Read more

Attach/Detach Abilities – Attachable,on Attach This allows you to attach  a Palette that is NOT in your inventory but just laying around in-world somewhere. A well-timed attach can create many illusions. Examples: 1,r=p%02_A%attach%(body-part-number) 1,r=p%02_A%attach%6 Practical attach points are: 2 = skull 5 = LT Hand 6 = RT Hand 7 = Left Foot 8 =… Read more

AttachOnRange Attachable,on   is required.

AttachOnRange,on,2 The 2 is the attach-point Practical attach points are: 2 = skull 5 = LT Hand 6 = RT Hand… Read more

Mutual Exclusives Some choices don’t make sense when used together or could conflict of confuse or, more likely, because they do the same thing, only slightly different.  So I have prevented the use of them during the notecard reading cycle. (*thrower) as well as Palette Menu choices and settings. For example: You cannot use both… Read more
