AttachOnCollide Abilities – Attachable,on You can dictate that a Palette attach itself to the owning avatar upon collision via a setting on the *thrower nc. AttachOnCollide,on 1,r=p%01_A%attach%2 The 2 is the attach point. Practical attach points are: 2 = skull 5 = LT Hand 6 = RT Hand 7 = Left Foot 8 = Right… Read more

DieOnCollide This kills/deletes the Palette after a certain number of seconds. If seconds is zero then deleting is immediate. Be careful that your object is copyable other wise you could accidentally delete your only copy of an object that was mod/no-copy that you made into a palette. DieOnCollide,on,3.5   Read more

MaterialsOnCollide Use this to alter the behavior of the Palette due to material properties changing after a collision. you MUST specify them in this order. Gravity, Friction, Density, Bounciness Gravity – Range [-1.0 – 28.0] Friction – Range [0.0 – 255.0] Density – Range [1.0 – 22587.0] Bounciness – Range [0.0 to 1.0] Example: MaterialsOnCollide,on,0.2,10.0,10.0,0.1 Read more

ControlOnCollide ThrowOnCollide must be NOT BE ZERO. At least 1,2, or 3. Ex: ThrowOnCollide,1 Use this to control another Palettes actions to occur, subsequent to your initiating Palette (the one sending the ControlOnCollide command. Use commas “,” to separate parameters instead of “%” like in *autofx. Begin with the Palette name to be controlled followed by… Read more

One aims in a direction, the other aims at  a specific target, be… Read more

You need build rights. To propel it, it needs to be PHYSICAL.  You can also make it Temporary if that works… Read more

There are 3 ways to propel a thrower-object. 1) Impulse – mass-influenced – untargeted 2) Velocity – non-mass-influenced – untargeted 3) Move-To-Target – targeted We focus on Impulse because it looks the best but is also the hardest to create. The 2nd most useful would be Move-To-Target Mass is influenced by: Gravity, Friction, Density, Bounciness… Read more

Artiste Thrower A throw is meant to provide the ability for a performer to interact with propelled objects. You could sail an object across a room like a frisbee.  You can land an object onto another object.  You can stop an object in mid-flight.  You can propel an object, causing it to knock over one… Read more
