// ~capture Script V1.01
// drop into a ball
//
//MLPV2.4z9
//Chaz edit 2012 to give control over (1) how visible adjusting beams are, (2) how high up balls rez, and (3) and over floating text on balls
//that's the only change, to make these parameters easily accessible and put them all in one section near top of script


// MLPV2 Version 2 by Learjeff Innis.  Based on
// MLP MULTI-LOVE-POSE V1.2 - Copyright (c) 2006, by Miffy Fluffy (BSD License)

// To make ball phantom, put "*" as the first character in the ball's description
// or just make the ball phantom (which really works better for HUDs).
// The rest of the description, if any, is used for the sit pie menu and floating text.
// To make this take effect, use STOP to unrez the balls, and then select any pose.

// v2.4j - cancel old listen on rez
// v2.4m - handle control keys! To enable, begin ~ball description with a plus sign ("+"), following "*" if any.
// v2.4p - page up & down to enable/disable adjustment
// v2.4x - moved SitTarget to top.
