Using your HUD

Using your Empower HUD is easy:

CAST A SPELL

  • Click the spell you wish to cast, then select the target you wish to cast it on (can be yourself) or:
    • Select <ByRange> to cast the spell on all avatars within a specified range
    • Select <CamCast> to cast the spell on the object you have your camera focused on (beware transparent prims in the way)
    • Select <CamPos> to cast just in front of your camera position (the HUD will rez an invisible object and cast on that)
    • Tick “CamCast” on the left page to set <CamCast> as the default target (may be overriden by text commands – see below)
  • There are tabs in the HUD to switch between types of spells (Visual/Assist etc)
  • Spells which are unavailable (because you have not purchased them) will be greyed out (not relevant in the Deluxe HUD, which has all spells)
  • Spells can also be cast using text commands – see the Reference Guide for details

 

STOP A SPELL

  • Click the big DISPELL button on the left page to cancel all spells you have cast anywhere in the current sim
  • To cancel a specific spell, use the “Spell” button under the DISPELL button, then click on the spell you wish to cancel
  • To cancel all spells cast on a particular avatar, use the “Avatar” button under the DISPELL button, then select the avatar to dispell
  • To cancel a specific spell on a particular avatar, use the “Both” button under the DISPELL button, click on the spell to cancel, then the avatar to cancel it for

 

CONFIGURE THE HUD

  • Click the SETTINGS button next to the DISPELL button on the left page to choose pre-configured casting effects and HUD settings
  • Use the Options tab to fine tune your configuration
  • Go into Mouselook and click the left mouse button if you want to fire lightning bolts.  The Weaponry button on the Options tab lets you customise the ammunition you use in mouselook (weaponry) mode
  • Click the “MoveLock” checkbox to prevent people being able to push you.  MoveLock auto-disables whilst walking or flying, but is on when hovering.
  • Click the “Stealth” checkbox to disable spell casting messages, sounds, animations and particles
  • Click the [Change] button on the left page of the HUD to shrink the HUD to closed form (to reduce screen space) or select a different Hide mode using the SETTINGS button
