EnCore Mayne Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 is there any way to actually turn off the selection beam? i have all the right boxes checked in the Firestorm preferences to not show the beam, and in my viewer that seems to be what is what but when viewing from an alt's viewer particles appear around the item i've selected. no beam from my avatar, just a circular pattern of particles at the terminal point. like, when you right click to open the context menu. doesn't seem to happen when selecting anything on avatars, just objects.

Have you gone into the advanced menu? Ctrl+Alt+D then- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KT Kingsley Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 In Firestorm, try Preferences/Privacy/LookAt/Don't send my selection target hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnCore Mayne Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) already done. that setting turns off the beam fer sure, but not the little flurry of particles circling where you touch. i don't see that on my viewer, but on alt's viewer, oopsy. where's @Whirly Fizzle when you need her?

Emma Krokus Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I do not believe there is a way to turn off those little swirlies unfortunately... I wish there was - so I could more easily hide my evil shenanigans muahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Those particles are generated in the onlooker's viewer, so it depends on THEIR settings, not yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her question is about the swirlies. You can't turn the swirlies off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
