Sit/stand Up Help

Please help.. why is it everytime I stand up from a poseball it throws me off sometimes outside or inside a wall. Is there a way to control this thrust?

That often depends on how the animation/poseball is designed, and the proximity to solid objects or the ground. Is it happening all the time in all sorts of places with different poseballs, or mostly with certain favorites around the house?

If, when you stand up, your avatar is partially inside of the object, then it will throw you about like a rag doll.

To avoid this, if you have mod permissions on the objects, set them as phantom.

Thank you, it is from sofa sit when I stand from it, avatars ends up in space outside skybox.

It will sometimes be worse also if my AO is on.

It's an artifact of your avatar becoming un-phantom close to or in a prim. The physics engine blows you away from the prim, sometimes like getting ejected from a jet fighter.

This is one of my pet peeves about poseballs...getting off, and to a lesser extent, getting on the darn things. Getting off shoots you into orbit. Getting on sometimes makes you sit like a dork until you switch off your AO and accept the ball's animation offer.

I'd really like it if both these processes could be made more graceful and realistic. But for now, I put up with it as just another SL quirk like sunshine in locked windowless rooms and people air typing.

Why do so many poseballs push you behind a wall or something when you sit on them? It really puzzled me as a newbie until I realised what was happening. Even now I hate missing the very beginning of an animation while I bring my camera around to the front view.

One reason I like PillowTalk products so much is the gentle sitdown and standup procedures included.

Hold the space bar when you stand up from a particularly throwy pose ball, it should calm the throwiness down.
Bit of a stupid way I know, but it should work.

Thanks, Pineapple..I will try that!

(will it work when sitting down?)

Hang on a minute here...........

Reding the OP post and some others post on this topic, I think we need to clarify something so we know exactly what we are all taking about....


When we say, when you sit on a pose ball it shoots you off in a funny direction.....

Are we (and the OP) actually taking about the AVATAR him/her self being pushes about (which I think many people are assuuming it being talked about)

Or.......

Are we talking about the CAMERA Location being swung around and your viewpoint moving outside the room.

I know, all the time when using (ahem) some bedroom equipment, you can change (ahem) positions so to speak and ever time you change you can end up looking from the other side of the wall and having to swing your viewpoint around again.

Just wondering if some here are talking about different things.

Both problems could stand being fixed, though.

Wouldn't it be cool, if you sat, your camera would automatically move around toward your front? Better yet if it could autosense walls and other avs, and position itself for best view of the group.

And if poseballs had better start and end animations to ease you in and out of the pose. Some do...why not all?

Cute Piggy, well from a simple sofa sitting position with legs crossed when avatar stands instead of just stand up it gets thrown out of the room where the sofa is, in this case it is a skybox and avatar ends up falling into space and having to fly back up. By the way I really appreciate your inputs will try the space bar trick hope it works!!!!!
