Check that your box contains the following assets:

• [Black Tulip] MultiWashbasin - AVsitter Plugin
• [Black Tulip] MultiWashbasin - AVsitter Plugin ~CFG~
• [Black Tulip] MultiWashbasin - AVsitter Plugin ~DOC~
• [Black Tulip] Proof Of Purchase - Multiwashbasin Plugin v1
• [Black Tulip] Script - MultiWashbasin - AVsitter Plugin (ad)

and these sample assets, necessary to follow the step-by-step guide:

• [Black Tulip] Double Washbasin - SAMPLE - Start here
• [Black Tulip] Double Washbasin - SAMPLE - Finished

If any of these is missing, contact Auryn Beorn for a replacement. Keep in mind that sample assets are never provided in full perms state. They're included to illustrate how to use the script.

• Sit on the multiwashbasin, have the water automatically turn on
• Swap and see the water changing with you
• Have more avatars sitting: their water will also be turned on
• Show/Hide the water
• Choose a water sound to play from a maximum of nine. This sound is global to the item.
• Change the sound volume
• Access menu

Rez the [Black Tulip] Double Washbasin - SAMPLE - Start here sample object. It contains five poses with AVsitter if you check in contents, and the soundclips that later will be used.

We have to begin by deciding:

• Which prim(s) will be the still water (sinks)
• Which prim(s) will be the water coming from the faucet(s)

It is important that they are different prims, otherwise the texture animation effect will not be possible because we can only animate one or all faces at once. We cannot animate only two faces of a prim, for example.

With our sample object, the choice seems quite clear since the water prims are already textured. So let's consider the left part of this double washbasin the part that corresponds to sitter 0, and the right part, the part that corresponds to sitter 1. This has relevance because we have to indicate somehow which prims are to respond when sitter 0 is on, which prims are to respond when sitter 1 is on, and so on. So let's go into edit mode, edit the washbasin with Edit Linked ticked, and identify the prims:

This one is clearly the water that comes from the faucet, a sliding animation, so let's change its description to what the picture shows:

This one is the still water in the sink, a cell animation. Let's change its description to what the picture shows:

Now going to the prims that will be used by sitter 1, we write something very similar, but changing the sitter number from 0 to 1, as the picture shows:

And similarly with the still water in the sink, a cell animation:

Later we'll explain the full description, although we can see now that it is made of two parts separated by the @, that sitter=0 is telling the script that the prim is for sitter 0, and the rest are the animated texture settings. Those will be explained in detail in the advanced section of this documentation.

We've taken care of the water prims. Now we want to take care of two parameters that are covered in the [Black Tulip] MultiWashbasin - AVsitter Plugin ~CFG~ configuration notecard:

• maxSitters: Which is the maximum number of avatars that will be using this engine?
• Which sounds we'll make available as washbasin sounds?

Our sample configuration notecard comes written this way:

Focusing on the first line that is NOT a comment:

maxSitters = 2

We can see that the script will respond up to two sitters. We will write always a number there that coincides with the maximum of sitters that our engine has. If our engine has sitter 0, 1, 2, and 3, that makes 4 sitters, and hence maxSitters should be set to 4.

Then, looking at the first line of the sounds block, we have:

sound = Water 1 | [Black Tulip] Water Sounds - Sink #04

this means that when the avatar accesses the sounds menu, they will see Water 1 as a button name, and the [Black Tulip] Water Sounds - Sink #04 soundclip will be played in loop. The sound clip must be in the prim with the scripts.

With all this, we've set up the script (except a little detail that goes in a moment). Drop the two following assets, in order (make sure you've changed the permissions for next owner to the script!)

• First we drop the [Black Tulip] MultiWashbasin - AVsitter Plugin ~CFG~ configuration notecard.
• Then we drop the [Black Tulip] MultiWashbasin - AVsitter Plugin script and wait for it to load the notecard.

Notice how as the script finishes reading the configuration, the washbasin automatically hides the water:

Now we need to alter the AVpos notecard, this way, so a button shows under its [ADJUST] menu and we can access to the bathtub menu:

What we're doing is adding this line on top of the notecard:

ADJUST [WATER]|-31432000

Once AVsitter loads, we can sit on the washbasin, swap positions, bring a friend...

Squeeee! The sample [Black Tulip] Double Washbasin - SAMPLE - Finished object will serve you to compare yours, in case you don't manage to set up this sample washbasin. Pay attention to little details like the ; character which at times can be confused with a dot . and also make sure there are no extra spaces.

Your multi-washbasin is ready :-)

For the sake of simplicity, we've skipped some explanations while saying "write this, do that". In this section, we explain the meaning of those parts we skipped.
