Citizens enjoy the full array of features offered by the browser, some of which are listed below. A citizen is often a user who has upgraded from tourist status. As of June 2013, citizenship in the Active Worlds universe is free. == Advantages == # Can visit all worlds that allow public access. # Ca...")

If you click the OK button, the Delta Worlds Browser will automatically download the new version and install it. Once the upgrade is complete, Delta Worlds will automatically restart. If you don't feel like upgrading right now, you can click the skip button instead. You will have a chance to upg...")

Most home routers and corporate networks have firewalls installed for added security. == Background == Since firewalls block the vast majority of internet traffic, in the past they have often prevented the Active Worlds browser from being able to contact the Active Worlds server, and thus prevented users who are on firewall networks from accessing Active Worlds at all. This has be...")

The '''velocity''' command applies speed onto a physical object given in a direction vector (''x'' ''y'' ''z'') and optionally a rotation speed vector (''pitch'' ''yaw'' and ''roll''). The direction of the speed is given in world coordinates, unless the option ''ltm'' is used. The rotation causes...")
- 07:52, 3 December 2023 Colltag (hist | edit) [2,306 bytes] Xan (talk | contribs) (Created page with "{{feature|1125|5.1}} The '''colltag''' command assigns a tag to an object so that it may be referenced by an action on another object for use with physical objects. This allows the implementation of multi-object behaviors, such as the where the clicking of one object causes another object to appear or disappear, for example. The colltag command has no effect by itself and must be used in conjunction with actions on other objects in order to implement behaviors. ==Usage...")

The '''addtorque''' command applies a momentum vector (''pitch'' ''yaw'' and ''roll'') onto a physical object. The rotation of the force is given in world coordinates, unless the option ''ltm'' is used. The momentum causes a spin around the object's own geometric center. If the applied directional forces are too strong, objects may fly through other colliders without actually colliding with them....")

You only need to know basic physics principles to produce realistic physics behavior using a few simple action commands. <br> <br> The first step of adding physics to Active Worlds is done by defining colliders. Colliders are g...")
