Introduction

In most cases you can change all your settings by using the HS Orbs menu.


To use commands you type them in chat while standing next to the HS Orb and hit Enter.

To add information such as names or set up networking you will need to know these commands.

All the commands bellow are assuming that your settings card has the default setting for channel. That is channel 8.
If you wish to change the channel the Orb accepts commands on or sends normal messages see the "Channel" notecard inside it.
Warning:
You must be within 20 meters when typing commands for the HS Orb to hear you. If you shout the command you must be within 100m. It may not work over region borders.

Green entries are not on the menus, many are advanced commands.

Basic Commands


/8menu for the popup control menu (shout this if you aren't near the Orb)
/8reset force the orb to read and process the Settings notecard (It doesn't by default anymore) without loosing current names or old network HSIDs in memory.
/8status summary of status for all scripts
/8off
Turn Off
/8public Turn on for public areas like shops and clubs. Attacks only Targets.
/8private Turn on for private areas like homes. Attacks all not in Authorised list.
/8hsid gives the HS's HSID for networking. Shout this and you will know which HS Orbs are within 100m.

Adding/Removing Names and Network

/8adda full name adds a name to the Authorised to visit List
You can also use groups to control who is Authorised. See Groups.

Changing Settings

Most settings are changed on the menu under Settings. These commands below are not on the menu.

/8visible Toggle on/off both the visibility of the HS Orb and its floating text.
/8sleep Enables/Disables sleeping when Operator is within range. Useful for some Estates where security systems must be off when no one is there. (v10.200+)
/8up=[ 0.0 to 96.0 ] how far above the Orb to limit attacks (for apartments & multilevel buildings, skyboxes)
/8down=[ 0.0 to 96.0 ] how far below the Orb to limit attacks (for apartments & multilevel buildings, skyboxes)
/8amsg Attacked message Sets attacked intruders popup to say "Attacked message".

/8warn [ on | off ] enable/disables the warning of intruders before attacking.
/8oi [ on | off ]
enables/disables HS Guardian HUD communication with the HS Orb.
Leave off unless needed to increase security.
/8ban [ on | off ]
enables/disables banning a person from the land for 30 minutes. Script land banned people will see blinking "NO ENTRY" red ban lines but will not be listed in About Land/Access. 30 minutes is hard coded to avoid confusion because script land banned people are not listed anywhere by SL. (v9.109+)
