Getting Started

The Orb HUD gives you the orbing powers of a Whitelighter, inspired by the TV series Charmed: turn invisible, orb to people and places, and keep watch over the region from your own sanctuary in the sky.

Get started

You need two items. Both come in the box.

  1. Wear the Orb HUD. It appears in the top-left corner of your screen.
  2. Wear the Orb_Attachment. You can attach it anywhere on your body.
  3. Click a button on the HUD to use a power.

The minimize button in the bottom-right corner of the HUD shrinks it to a small picture. Click the picture to open it again.

Powers

You vanish in a swirl of light and become invisible.

Orb To...

Type Target

Choose a person in the region from the list. You orb to their side.

Sanctuary

Mark

Type Self

Saves where you are standing. Choose a slot from the menu, then type a name, such as Home, in local chat.

Recall

Type Self

Choose one of your marks and orb back to it, from anywhere on the grid.

Marks in another region

If a mark is in another region, the Second Life map opens at that place. Click Teleport on the map.

The Sanctuary and the Magic Map

Your Sanctuary is a platform high above the region. On it is the Magic Map: a live map of the region with an icon for every avatar, shown where they really are.

  • Click anywhere on the map to orb to that spot.
  • Click a person's icon to orb beside them.
  • To remove the platform, click and hold it for 3 seconds. A menu opens where you can delete it.

Settings

Button What it does
TeleportFX Turns the orb effect on or off when you teleport. When it is on, you orb in each time you arrive somewhere.
Orb Type Chooses the look of your orbs: Modern in a color of your choice (red, green, orange, blue, white, purple, pink or dark blue), or Classic with Whitelighter or Darklighter effects. If you choose nothing, it uses Modern blue.

Good to know

  • The orb catches you if you are falling, so you can always orb to safety.
  • Orbing places small helper objects, so the land must allow you to rez objects.
  • Marks are kept inside the HUD. They can be lost if its scripts reset.
