I’ve released the very first set of escalators by Union Micro! You can purchase them at Union Micro in Pigra, or on SL Exchange.
These puppies have custom textures, custom animations, and custom sounds – all made by me! Textures and sounds have both been sampled from their real life counterparts.
They also have physics-based movement borrowed from the popular Union Micro Elevators. This makes the passenger’s ride up or down the escalator visually appealing and won’t give them a headache like other “jerky” escalators.
As with most Union Micro products, these escalators are designed with the simulator performance in mind. Therefor, scripts have been optimized and designed to have as little impact on simulator performance as possible – this is good news for that region-sized mall that uses many escalators. This includes the texture animations which are all client-side!
The kit comes with 6 escalators of varying heights. Feel free to modify them and build your own escalator of custom height – the scripts are designed to work at all heights and will adapt accordingly.
