User Manual

The Crossfire is a crosswalk flasher system for urban environments. It can be used for other purposes through its API.

Setup (Standalone)

1. Rez a Crossfire flasher unit.
2. Rotate it so the LED flashers face oncoming vehicles and position it at the edge of the crosswalk on one side.
3. Now, hold the Shift key and drag the flasher unit 1-2m towards the center of the road. A new flasher should rez itself where the old one was originally. Let go of the Shift key.
4. Repeat step 3 until you have a line of flasher units across the road.
5. Now, hold the Shift key and click on all of the flashers. Do not drag them individually.
6. Once all of the flashers are selected, drag the line of flashers to the other side of the crosswalk. This should give you a "corridor" for the pedestrian to walk through.
7. Rez a Crosswalk Button on each side of the road and rotate it to face the sidewalk. (You can rez as many buttons as you like.)
8. Rez the Setup Tool.
9. If you need to, change the ID of the crosswalk. Each crosswalk must have its own ID or else they will interfere. You can also change the LED flashers' colors.
10. Click "Send Cfg". When the tool is finished, delete it.
11. If you want to change the crosswalk LED pattern, click each button and select the pattern you want. Repeat for each button.

Setup (Using API)

1. Rez any number of Crossfire flasher units. Position and rotate them as you like.
2. Rez the Setup Tool.
3. If you need to, change the ID of the crosswalk. Each crosswalk must have its own ID or else they will interfere. You can also change the LED flashers' colors.
4. Click "Send Cfg". When the tool is finished, delete it.
5. Drag the API script into the controller object.
6. Follow the instructions for API operation below.

Operation

Crosswalk

Click the yellow button at the crosswalk to activate the lights for 10 seconds.

Reprogramming

LED flashers can be set to be reprogrammed for 30 seconds after they are clicked by the owner. Resetting the crosswalk button allows it to be reprogrammed as well.

API

To operate the Crossfire flashers, send a link message from another script in the object in the following format:

llMessageLinked(LINK_SET,[crosswalk ID],"cw[pattern number]",NULL_KEY);

where [crosswalk ID] is the integer crosswalk ID number and [pattern number] is 1 to 3, depending on the pattern you want. [pattern number] can also be "off" (without quotes) to turn off the flashers. Note that the API does not automatically turn them off.
