What Is The Glubble Generator?
While creating aquariums a long time ago, I noticed a common problem with building a bubble script into the tank. This is that if you resize your tank to be larger than what the bubble script was set for, the bubbles only came half way up the height of the tank. Also what if you want to edit your parcel land and raise the ground and find you have bubbles coming ten foot out of your beach? This is where the Glubbler comes in. With this system you can quickly click a Glubble rock, press a few arrows and your new bubble display is ready to go. No editing scripts or poking around with timings, the system does this all for you via a functional HUD interface.
Usage
First of all you will need to create a new Glubble rock. First let's make sure yo are on land that allows you to create objects and that has scripts running. Left press the Rez New button on the HUD top right. You should see a small rock plop out and hit the deck that looks like this.
Over the rock you should see it reads Config Mode. This is the default mode that the Glubble rock enters once rezzed from the HUD. This allows you to start tweaking the setting of the Glubble rock right away. Once you are happy with your Glubble rocks settings, simply click the rock to set it to Operation Mode, and you can walk away and let it happily do its thing. Once in operation mode it closes down all contact with the HUD and will not respond to HUD commands. Please ensure you understand this before thinking that it may be broken. To enter config mode again after the rock has been set to operation mode, simply left click it.
Presets
The presets are built in to take a bit of the guess work out of the system for you. You can quickly choose a preset to suit your needs. Do you have an aquarium at home? Press the aquarium preset button and you will see the particles change to fit a medium sized aquarium. You can now tweak the time the bubbles stay out using the AGE up and down options. Simply press the RED arrow to lower the age value or hit the GREEN arrow to increase the time the particle bubbles last. This works with any preset. Once selected you can further tweak a preset options to suit your needs.
HUD Options
ON/OFF
Press this button to toggle the Glubble rocks particles on and off while in config mode.
REZ NEW
Press this button to rez as many Glubble rocks as you need. Once rezzed you can configure all rocks at once using the HUD.
DROP YOUR TEXTURES HERE
This part of the HUD allows you to drag ad drop textures from your inventory onto the HUD. The area will change to look like the texture you have placed here, and if there is a Glubble rock around and it is in config mode it will change its particle texture also. Note any texture you drop on the drop zone part of the HUD needs to be full permissions. If you add textures directly into the HUD contents folder, you can left click this area to bring up a dialog menu to allow you to select your favourite textures. Try to keep texture names shorter than the dialog button length to avoid script menu errors.
Presets
AQUARIUM
Quickly set a two meter preset for use in aquariums. Complete with sound fx.
CORAL REEF
Quickly set a larger bubble display for use in 10 meter coral reef displays. Complete with sound fx.
OCEAN
Larger particle display for use in deep Linden water. With ocean sound fx.
COLOR CYCLE
Turn this feature on to give your Glubbler rock a ten second random start and end colour cycle. This looks really cool, try it.
GLOW
Turn glow on and the top rim of the Glubble rock will glow and the start colour for the bubbles changes to the same as the glow too.
BOUNCE
This setting when on, make the bubble bounce on the Z axis of the emitter. This means that the particles will not be able to emit under the centre of the rock. you can see the difference of this setting if you increase the RADIUS setting to 2.00000 and then turn BOUNCE on and off. If you want to create a large sphere of bubbles turn bounce off.
WIND TOGGLE
This setting allows your bubbles to have a small push based on the direction of Second Life simulated wind. Toggle on and off for best results. When on you will notice that your bubbles move sideways in random directions very slowly. you could turn this feature on to simulate a ocean current in deep water.
DELETE
Simple. Press this button to delete all Glubbler rocks that are in Config mode in world.
