I've been trying to build a decent pair of shoes for months now (well
in between my 10 other projects) but I can't seem to actually build
something that keeps my feet reliably off the ground. What's the trick
here?

Thanking you in advance.

Make sure not to let the air out of your shoes. Oh, and Spunky loved it.

I think we're all bozos on this bus.

Have you tried finding some shoes that actually do this, and then seeing how they do it, or maybe just modding them?

Good luck to you.

Depends on the shoes, if they are just sneakers you can do this by making a pair of avatar shoes (in the avatar creation menu) and increasing the platform height, otherwise you could use an invisible prim exploit, which deletes the avatar and some primitives from the players view.

Between you, Ryen the twerp and Ardith, there's little to change my opinion here.. rather you have reinforced it each in your own ways

Good to know, but you forgot the obligitory Firesign Theatre quote for this thread, so I'll just add it in for you...

I am, for the sake of argument, going to assume this is a real answer (did my Firesign quote make people think I was joking?). Is this really it? You make AV shoes and then *hide* them with your prim shoes? I've only had one pair of shoes that I had a chance to dissect: they were given to me temporarily to work on a script that had been dropped in them. I didn't notice anything all that special in the object editor, but I wasn't looking that closely.

Seriously. I *hate* the AV shoes, and most prim shoes I've seen are just too stiletto
heel style for my taste. All help appreciated.

Yes caohime, that is the solution. Make some base avatar shoes, using alpha textures to make them invisible, and thencover the feet warping (the feet warp badly when you create platforms with the appearance menu) with an invisiprim. If you dont know what an invisiprim is do a search with the search function for invisiprim and youll be able to find the free script for it easily.
