That let's you walk next to or fly next to another avatar? In other words a bracelet or something similar (not vehicle) that allows one avatar to animate the other to walk beside or fly beside them. If so ~ could someone kindly point the way to me because I have been looking without success.

I think I have seen something like a leash that does this but that is not what I am looking for (LOL). However, it does indicate that the ability might be there for a scripted item that will allow two avatars to travel side by side. Exporing with another avatar would would be so much easier and more fun.

Thanks :)

Funnily enough, someone passed me a landmark to something like this today. I've not looked yet, but apparantly it's a device for two avies to fly holding hands. Search for Temple of Lights, I think. I'm not in world right now or I'd check the details.

You will have trouble with animations, since it will require passing the current animation from one AV to the other.

there are two ways. One way is to make a vehicle. Vehicles it will look right. But vehicles limit mobility. The other thing to do is use physics to make a ball fallow some one. This keeps mobility. But because ll closed the phantom bug, some times you'll accordingly bump into them. You can also use an animation over ride, and have it echo it's state on a hidden channel. Witch can be used to make animations match.

I was investigating this last week (the handholding thing).

Firstly just taking up and holding position relative to another avatar. Nothing clever involving animations, I'm not into them yet.

The following avatar wore an attachment with a script using MoveToTarget to track a chosen location behind/tosideof lead avatar.

It worked, but I found it very difficult to tune the tracking algorithm to prevent overshoots when the lead avatar ran/flew/swerved. I was sensing the lead avatars velocity as well as location, and tuning the amount of forward prediction etc.

I concluded that I needed at the very least to use different tracking parameters when flying. And probably to develope a fully adaptive tracking algorithm, tuning itself real fast. Went on to something else for now, may come back to it.

I couldnt find a way to locate either avatars hand, to bring them together. So hand-holding didnt look on without an animation in each avatar to prevent random hand-waving.

So it does look like maybe this is one for the animation-gurus ! Unless someone now tells me what I missed !

I'm still relatively a noob to all this, but from my experiences, doing this may be possible using a helicopter script tied to a couple small prims... in reality you would actually be flying a helicopter with two passengers, but it would appear you were flying while holding hands...

of course, this is all in theory based on my experiences with vehicles so far... and since this is my good friends Mags who is asking, I intend to test it out and see what I can do to make it work... ;)
