Meet the SwimFins!
They are life for your aquarium which swim around realistically!
Get yourself a pack of *EVERY* SwimFin sample here: http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=347118
Visit my live samples at Zan Lightfoot's Indoor Pool here: secondlife://Skybeam%20Firstland/224/220/22
Information about the SwimFin:
* Uses only one prim, unlike the fish that swim in simple circles, but doesn't sacrifice realistic movement
* Will never flip upside down (so long as the script is active, and you aren't *holding* the poor beastie upside down)
* It will bump into any other physical object, but not push them around.
* It has survived several SL updates so far, and I'm willing to replace any SwimFin that breaks (though none have)!
* It is to scale as stated, yet adjusted for Second Life. SwimFins get along with each other, so feel free to mix-and-match their sizes.
* It has a 2.5m tether (radius) that guarantees it won't swim away entirely, and it even tries to avoid going that far from home!
* Server friendly! Sends out partial updates for direction changes, but NO full updates for appearance/teleport/etc. For those more technically minded: Highest Script Time Usage Seen = 0.036ms, Average Script Time Usage Seen = 0.002ms. Highest script usage seen when colliding.
* If you, the owner (sorry, no group ownership), touches the SwimFin, it reinitializes and sets its new position as its home point.
* If a non-owner touches a SwimFin, they are told where to go to get their own, and given a folder of inventory containing a landmark and some informational cards.
* Warning: Samples self destruct thirty seconds after first being rezzed. If you want SwimFins which are persistent, please purchase non-samples.
* Note: Natural movement depends on the SwimFin being physical, so they may not use flexible prims. Sorry.
* Note: Some sims do not allow objects to move of their own volition. If you are located on such a sim, the SwimFins may not work properly.
* I take requests! If there's a specific texture, type of motion, color, or anything else you would like, please IM me!
* I love feedback! Please feel free to private message me!
