Thrower0123OnRez This value is set inside the REZZABLE. This value should be 1, 2, or 3 for situations where you are creating  a Thrower-Rezzer.   The number determines which selection of ApplyImpulse, AngularVelocity, and CollisionPostActions will be used. It should be zero (0) if you are rezzing a normal Palette with NO throwing capabilities. Ex: Thrower0123OnRez,1… Read more

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. There are several preconditions: 1 – AutoReturn on *thrower nc must not… Read more

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

Throwing an Embedded Palette Placing a Palette inside of another Palette offers an illusion. It propels the inside(embedded) Palette while turning the outside(attached)  Palette, usually attached to an Avatar, INVISIBLE, since we cannot actually throw an attached palette. 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. You can dictate that a Palette attach itself to the owning avatar when it satisfies the range requirement during a throw by way of a setting on the *thrower nc. 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
