Aya Nova Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I have a pacel on a mainland, therefore I cant texture the ground (I wanted a grass floor) so I build a 1 prim grass bed, lower the ground as possible and placed it on the ground.Problem is, my feet are "drowned" inside the grass bed. No matter how low or high I place it, my feet are still stuck inside the bed.Any suggestions please on how to fix that?I use FireStorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Meriman Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 There is a device on the marketplace called "Landmap Pro" that allows you to retexture mainland. It actually creates sculpts that hug the surface and to which you can apply any texture you like. I've used it with great sucess for many years now. It does take skill and patience to use, and you do get the typical sculpty blobs as they load, but I still think it's the best possible solution. There are a few places that use it along the Heterocetera train tracks if you ever get bored and spend a day travelling the railroads there.

VanillaSunsets Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Is the prim set to phantom? That will result in the sinking you describe as the prim does not have any physics that your avatar can walk on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aya Nova Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I think probably not as this is the issue with the "drowning". How do I set it to phantom pls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aya Nova Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thank you, I will take a look at this tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanillaSunsets Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I use the Firestorm viewer. For me it goes like this: Select the object, go into edit mode. Object tab, there you can set Physic, Phantom or Temporary, so you select Phantom. If an object is set to phantom you can walk right trough it. Another viewer might be a bit different but similar. EDIT: this still does not explain why you drown in a lawn tho. If it were mesh I would blame bad physics but for a normal prim.... you got me :catlol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aya Nova Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Done the way you told me to edit it, it didnt work. I am on FS as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanillaSunsets Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I am all out of ideas now. All that now comes to mind... could there be anything invisible rezzed under your grass prim that could result in this drowning maybe? Anyone else got a clue?

VanillaSunsets Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 OK, one other thing popped into my mind, lol. Maybe it has something to do with your avatar hover settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aya Nova Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Yes, I know how, but will does not mean I will hoover in general on SL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aya Nova Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Btw, editing that prim into phantom is even worst. I went to other object I can stand on and all of them do not have phantom checked in edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanillaSunsets Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 That's why I asked you if it was set to Phantom, it will make you sink into it or fall through it. For something you need to walk on this is not a good setting. It is good for walking trough things. I thought maybe it was set to Phantom by accident.

Callum Meriman Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/LandMap-Change-your-ground-texture-without-land-powers/236734 Watch the video very closely, maybe ask the person selling it to demo as well. (I have nothing to do with this product, I am just a happy user - there are also 265 mostly positive reviews you can read there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Aeon Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I was thinking hover height too as I read this. If your prims isn't phantom you should be able to adjust your hover height. There is an easy to get to setting on the Quick Preferences Panel Typically I have to change my hover height often. Partly this is because of physics of prims versus ground versus mesh and party when you change the height of feet (mesh bodies for sure, possibly also with foot shapes on legacy avatars. You might also try going to a sandbox and making your prim there to see if it is a sim issue. And inviting a friend over to see if they fall in too might be a clue to if it is the prim or 'you'. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkWarded Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 add an invisible prim on the grass so you wont sink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aya Nova Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ok, now I know what the problem is. I have been told that prim is a sculpted one. Can that be fixed so I wont sink in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
