<div dir="ltr">Hello Michael,<div>Unfortunately in my case, since my builds are deeply modular e.g. I have a whole hospital with beds and chairs and so on ...linked, it is essential that sitting works properly for linked objects. For NPCs, I bypass the problem by forcing them to come back to the chair ... and the user may not notice the jump away and back</div>
<div>Examples follow</div><div><a href="http://youtu.be/4wcM5tyn7BY">http://youtu.be/4wcM5tyn7BY</a> (where I try to sit NPCs in a linked building)<br></div><div>or here</div><div><a href="http://youtu.be/2niBc2wOw10">http://youtu.be/2niBc2wOw10</a> (where I try to sit NPCs on strechers on rollers ...somewhere towards the end).<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>But for avatars, I cannot move them via code ... live am able to with NPCs with a lot of permission asking and so on that destroys usability.</div><div>I am on a mission to find the sweet spot for tailoring virtual learning environments. So even if sitting works on root prim, it does not help too much. The other problem I found is that if I rez a building and sitting works fine, but then rotate it ever so slightly ... and boum standing up goes weird... for avatars, they can pushed.</div>
<div>I know people want to create their own environments, and they definitely want to control them. And in order to achieve this, we really need that the infrastructure supports deep modularity (and so far I think opensim is the ONLY environment that does (that has the potential to) ... well SL too, but SL is no longer in my picture)</div>
<div>This approach for tailoring virtual environments also raises other issues such as code management, but that I will discuss in another thread.</div><div>Ramesh</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br>

<p dir="ltr">Do you get the same results if the prim your sitting on is the root prim vs a child prim in a linkset? I know there are issues with sitting and standing from linksets if its not the root prim you are setting on.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div>I have been wondering if whether with improved physics and so on, in the latest version of opensim for e.g., whether avatars can stand, after sitting, without being pushed away</div><div>In my current setups, I have managed to bypass the issue .... by putting a large invisible flat prim under objects (e.g. chair) and orienting it in a particular direction. In addition, when I sit NPCs, I make sure that I move them back to the chair after they stand up. But this little problem does have a big impact on user experience .... especially for new people who may go away with a negative impression of the degree of advancement of the environment.</div>
