Resources: hippoRENT v5: Moving Boxes When Rented

By default, a hippoRENT v5 rental box moves when rented, according to the value you supply in the movement on rent configuration field. So, for example, if movement on rent is set to <0, 0, 2>, then the box will move 2 metres upwards when rented ...

You can move the rented box around as you would any other prim. When the box falls vacant and reverts to its unrented state, it will reverse the movement on rent value — so in the example above, falling down by 2m. In other words, movements are relative and provided you remember this, moving boxes around when they’re rented is very easy. For example, if the box above started at Second Life coordinates (50, 20, 10) and was rented, it would move to (50, 20, 12). If you then moved the rented box to (60, 20, 18) and it later fell vacant, it would end up at (60, 20, 16).

For Advanced Users: Absolute Coordinates

If you want the box to move to an absolute Second Life coordinate when rented, prefix its movement on rent value with an ! symbol. So for example ...

MOVEMENT ON RENT: !<100, 120, 23>

... would cause this box to move to the Second Life coordinates 100, 120, 23 when rented.

When using absolute coordinates, a box remembers its start position and will move back to it when it falls vacant — no matter where you drag it to when rented.
