Kaos Dragoone Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I really like standing on people's heads, but recently it hasn't been working. Every attempt just sticks me in the falling animation instead of standing on them like normal. It's the same toy I've been using for months, but the past few days it's messed up.

Nyll Bergbahn Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Try teleporting to some busy sims over and over again. You'll generally end up standing on someone's head. Hours and hours of fun, or even better, you may end up standing on your own head with your feet pointing up in the air. I'm getting giddy just thinking of the hilarity I get with that one. Are you by any chance related to a guy who lies in the floor in my local club pretending to be a doormat and asking people to wipe their feet on his head?

Kaos Dragoone Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 lol Well that's one way to do it, but I'm talking about a little scripted toy that moves you onto people without the need for actually tping. And Mr Doormat sounds really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyll Bergbahn Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Peewee, I'll invite you over to the club next time he appears. :smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyll Bergbahn Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 lol I know Kaos. I'm not sure what could have broken your toy. If it's old, sometimes things just stop working or work erratically. Have you tried resetting the scripts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freecilla Kuhn Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I remember we used to be able to say "/stand Kaos" in chat and we would stand on someone's head but it broke or stopped being supported on V2. Maybe when SL stopped it that broke your toy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Alternatively, you could just emote and see if that gets some giggles. as in /me stands on <name the avatar> head and laughs What I wish more people would do when they TP someplace is to take a few steps away from the landing zone. There is nothing more ridiculous than getting someplace and flapping arms and legs over one or more who are just....standing....there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Vandeverre Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 If you don't get that back to normal, you might try Planking as a new hobby. much safer in SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peewee Musytari Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Standing on heads (and pushing people around) both got much harder around the time that Havok was introduced, when they changed the avatar bounding box from a box to an oval & we became much more slippery. It is still possible to get on heads, but if you slip off even slightly you will fall & usually get stuck doing your falling animation, which, if you don`t have a cool one in your AO, usually means you are left flapping in the air like a demented duck with the default falling anim lol If you have noticed a change in the last few weeks, its possible that Havok has been updated or some other tweak has been made to the physics engine.

Marigold Devin Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Didn't you know, Kaos, standing is sooooo last year. Stacking is in this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayalily Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Yes, I know that one of stacking. I'm not sure I like because I feel like a jeanie who has to grant a wish. :womansurprised: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it takes a minute for everything to rez, but why can't people just go ahead and move those few steps it would take to get away from the landing zone? It's like they think a dragon will eat them if they move before they can see the shoes on the bottom shelf at the very back of the store. The really annoying ones land and just stand there for ages, probably IMing with someone....it makes me want to go give them a shove. :smileytongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poenald Palen Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 This thread has a lot of pretty avatars in it...I wonder if this is how it got started? I mean, we think it is a technical failure BUT simply using random numbers and a little bit of calculus the server and client could easily put people randomly in an area of lets say....10 meters around..or square(I like sqaure, easier math lol) so...I mean, basically you have all this neato popular cool girl headstanding so they leave the code as it was! Even though it must be very very easy to program in....they still leave it as is! I have heard of FIC, galazons and many other things people seem to be part of that they don't even know they are part of or are being one of....this is some kind of Fettered Inner Head standing thing...there are better ways, avatars dont' need to suffere potentially from headaches or getting collided on and dying (almost could at damage enabled sims!) and so on...this quasi ritualistic headstanding thing is a bit odd and now I see why...all the cool pretty girls are doing it! I have to say stacking is more progressice, those heels are not any sharper for avatars...damage is damage I think. Hhhm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Vandeverre Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Planking is where it's at.... Get Hip. eta: kinda embarassed....was just informed via twitter that planking is yesterday's news, and Owling is hip now. Owling Planking would be the ultimate - will try that tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peewee Musytari Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Owling looks a bit boring, I`ll stick with Planking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Vandeverre Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 lol - good job, Peewee! gotta admit....the adrenaline rush just was not there on the Owling.... going to stick with Planking. reading the news articles and owling seems to be a replacement for the dangers of planking... but sticking with the danger.

Viper Panthar Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Ah, the Head Stander. I use it pretty often on my friends. When they move about, that gets me stuck on the Falling Animation. But when I wait a few seconds, it usually sorts itself out and I'm standing upright on their head again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Spore Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Frankly I'm surprised we don't have spawning zones, rather than coordinates. Allowing builders to mark off an area where people could land and having the sim automatically place them in an empty spot within that area would reduce the amount of headstanding from people who don't feel the need to move.

Peewee Musytari Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 We do. They are called Telehubs. Sim owners can set them with several spawn points around the central hub to avoid pileups on busy sims, but most just set a single landing point instead.
