Runtime Commands
The following commands, which can either be issued on the Console, or via a chat channel in-world, control the behaviour
of the flock at runtime
The following commands, which can be issued on the Console or via in-world chat or scripted chat on the BirdsChatChannel
to control the birds at runtime:
birds-stop or /118 stop ;stop all birds flocking
birds-start or /118 start ;start all birds flocking
birds-enable or /118 enable ;enable the flocking simulation if disabled
birds-disable or /118 disable ;stop all birds and remove them from the scene
birds-size <num> or /118 size <num> ;change the size of the flock
birds-prim <name> or /118 prim <name> ;change the bird prim to one already rezzed in the scene
birds-framerate <num> or /118 framerate <num> ;only update the flock positions every <num> frames
;only really useful for photography and debugging bird
;behaviour
birds-stop or /118 stop ;stop all birds flocking
birds-start or /118 start ;start all birds flocking
birds-enable or /118 enable ;enable the flocking simulation if disabled
birds-disable or /118 disable ;stop all birds and remove them from the scene
birds-prim <name> or /118 prim <name> ;change the bird prim to a prim already rezzed in the scene
birds-stats or /118 stats ;show some statistics (needs work)
birds-framerate <num> or /118 framerate <num> ;only update the flock positions every <num> frames
;only really useful for photography and debugging bird
;behaviour
These commands are great for playing with the flock dynamics in real time:
birds-size <num> or /118 size <num> ;change the size of the flock
birds-speed <num> or /118 speed <num> ;change the maximum velocity each bird may achieve
birds-force <num> or /118 force <num> ;change the maximum force each bird may accelerate
birds-distance <num> or /118 distance <num> ;change the maximum distance that other birds are to be considered in the same flock as us
birds-separation <num> or /118 separation <num> ;sets how far away from other birds we would like to stay
birds-tolerance <num> or /118 tolerance <num> ;sets how close to the edges of things can we get without being worried
Of course if distance is less than separation then the birds will never flock. The other way around and they will always
eventually form one or more flocks.
