Hi all, sorry if this is a stupid question, but for the past couple of days my avatar randomly starts to float! The falling animation kicks in and it all looks a bit embarressing. Sometimes its just after I teleport, sometimes after going on a dance ball, sometimes when I'm just walking.
Any ideas?
Thankyou in advance

I've seen sims get in a weird state where standing up from poseballs do this to people - not random freebie poseballs but good ones from places like Bits & Bobs. People stand up and they start floating up in the air. Sometimes even a relog doesn't clear the problem.

If this is still happening and it seems to only happen in one region, you might want to try to get the sim restarted. That's the only thing that's fixed the problem I've seen. That is, of course, if you're seeing the same problem.

You could be wearing a flight script that went bonkers to, right click yourself, deattach all ,you will look "blank" after that tho, but attach things back after, if you get "this attachment want to controll your movements" that would be the one.

Floating upwards usually attachment fail thing, sim going belly up or just to much traffic there so slowdowns happen and people start to float randomly when they walk as its not updated fast enough sinks into ground or into air to then bounce back.
