_____General Use__________________________

Owner sets out and configures. Avatars sit and earn L$ from the object owner for their time and work.

Owner may Touch object at any time for an Owner-Only Menu to Turn On/Off, Reset, Unsit the current user (they will be paid for time earned,) and check for new product Updates.

To change the animations, simply drag your new ones into the Object and then delete or remove any old animations from the inventory. You may have up to 21 total.


_____Setup Instructions_____________________

Rez the object somewhere.

Open object in EDIT. Under the CONTENTS TAB open the notecard entitled "Configuration."

Change the settings in the notecard, (see below,) and SAVE. Close Edit.

The object should reset automatically, (You can also Touch and choose "Reset" from owner menu.)

IF USING PAY MODE: Once loaded you will see a drop-down dialog message saying the object wants to "Take Lindens from you? Click yes. This allows the script to pay the users what they earn.


_____About the Configuration Notecard_________

Below is more information about the settings found in the notecard within the object.

Adjust these for where the user sits in relation to object.

**These 2 advanced settings are very useful if using your own objects.
**SitTarget determines where the avatar is placed. The default is <0,0,1> which is 1 meter Above the center of the object. If your avatar is too tall and their legs stick into object you may try <0,0,1.5>, which is half a meter higher.
**SitRotation sets the direction facing of avatars. Default is <0,0,0> which is no rotation. If using own objects and avatar is rotated oddly, play with this setting. Here are valid examples: <0,0,-45> | <0,90,0> | <45,22,0> etc.

ObjectName=Dance Cage

_____Customizing__________________________

• ADDING OR REPLACING ANIMATIONS
Open the Object in EDIT and go to the CONTENT tab. Drop in your animations and delete/remove any ones you do not want. You may have between 1 and 21 animations. (If only 1 animation inside object there will not be an animation dialog menu for users.) If no animations in object, default SL sit will be used.

• You can Turn Off color change from the Configuration settings and then select your colors and textures in EDIT under the TEXTURE tab.

• It is possible to use your own object. First move all scripts and other contents from object to your Inventory. Than move all items from your Inventory to the new object. Reset Scripts before first use.


_____Helpful Tips & FAQ's____________________

-Check to be sure you have permission to run scripts on the land parcel and be sure the object is set to the right group if needed.

-Open object in EDIT and click on TOOLS at very top of screen, then choose "Reset Scripts in Selection."

• Deeded objects will not work correctly.
