Hi all - I just got another HUD that has some helpful features. The problem is, it replaces my AO HUD, which I cannot be without. Before experimenting with other attachment places...can anyone recommend where to put my new HUD (MystiTool) on my AV so that it will still work but be invisible? Or is this just asking for trouble? Thanks in advance.

Hmm for me I have my Huddles AO thing attached to my top right, my mysti tool attached to my bottom right and my auto emote attached to my top left. If you're AO is the huddles you can attach it wherever you want and then just move it around using edit and it will remember that postion. I find having the mysti tool on the bottom right works best for me. You can change the button size and though its not totally invisible I hardly notice it unless I need it. I do use the avies in the area feature so I have the text pop up every once in awhile but unless I'm in an area with a ton of avies its not that noticeable.

I use the bottom right screen location for the MystiTool. It's handy, yet inobtrusive. FWIW, I hate AO's with a passion. I have never found one that I've liked that didn't bonk other anims.

That happens when the animation has a high priority. Like how with some stands you don't type but with others you do. When buying stands and walks for AOs its always best to get the ones with low priority so that other stuff works too. I know Reel Movement has a bunch of low priority stands for AOs.

I use mysti tool and ZHAO (free AO unit). I have the mysti tool in default lower right and ZHAO is so modular IT WILL DETECT WHERE IT IS ATTACHED AND MOVE BUTTONS AS NEEDED! Greatest thing evar. So my ZHAO is in upper right. It's pretty much the only HUD I have seen that detects position and flips itself around as needed... and it's free. Most are either to bulky to move and/or are universally made.

Hey thanks all  So to be clear, when I attach my AO, I need to choose somewhere other than lower right (which is the default place for it), so that the MystiTool can attach there? As for AOs with high priority - yes, it's a pain. My AO has high priority so I actually had to add a typer to it just to show people I was typing. But I love the subtle poses, so I keep it where it is. I just hope the two can work together or I may have wasted $ on a tool I can't use... Thanks again

The priority is set by the animations not the AO program. So if you edit the AO and can remove the animations and notecards to an inventory in your folder you could put it in another AO prim. That's why I use ZHAO. I buy "AO sets" and toss them in there. The only trick is the ZHAO uses the Franimation standard so you have ot make sure yours does (think 95% actually do). Otherwise you have to retype your notecard into the format which is not bad. Oh and ZHAO is free and full perms. EDIT: maybe we should point the owner of Mystitool here. Might not be bad to show her this or suggest it to her as well for a future upgrade. Though the radar might be problemmatic then.
