The Start \/ Finish Line – aside from obviously being the start and finish point for a course – is used to manage course settings via the Settings<\/strong> button on the control panel.\u00a0 Assuming that you have access to the Settings menu you’ll be given the following options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/td>\nSets the name for this course. \u00a0Names can be up to 15 letters long and should be unique and descriptive. \u00a0The name will appear on the scoreboard set to monitor this course, and will be saved to the database for future retrieval.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/a> \"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\n\n

These buttons allow you to increase or decrease the Course ID number.<\/p>\n

The Course ID Number is used to identify all of the hurdles which make up a specific course. \u00a0Each course in the same sim\u00a0must<\/strong> have a unique Course ID number.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/a>\"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\n\n

These buttons allow you to increase or decrease the Board ID number.<\/p>\n

The Board ID number is used to communicate the results of a race to a Score Board or Score Recorder. \u00a0Multiple courses can use the same Board ID.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\nToggles\u00a0the Settings<\/strong>\u00a0menu access level from Owner – meaning that only the avatar\u00a0who owns this Start \/ Finish Line\u00a0can access the\u00a0Settings<\/strong> menu, to Group – meaning that any member of the same group as the Start \/ Finish Line with the group tag active can access the\u00a0Settings<\/strong> menu.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\n\n

This button toggles the hurdle sound effects – the clapping or gasps when a pony clears or faults on a hurdle – on and off.<\/p>\n

This button will only effect hurdles with the same Course ID number as this Start \/ Finish Line.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\nThis toggles on and off the sound effects played when a pony crosses the Start \/ Finish Line.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\nThis button toggles the Blind Hurdle option on and off. \u00a0When turned on, Blind Hurdle causes the next\u00a0hurdle the pony has to jump to emit a sound so they can locate it while blindfolded.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\n\n

Sets the\u00a0movement mode for the course. \u00a0When set to Walk any pony that runs is immediately disqualified.<\/p>\n

If the movement mode has been changed you should use the Calc Time button to recalculate the median time for the course in order to generate accurate scores.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\n\n

This button counts the number of hurdles in this course, calculates the distance between them, then generates a median time for completing the course based on that information and the movement mode. \u00a0The Start \/ Finish Line uses this plus any individual hurdle handicaps which may be set to generate a score for each pony that completes the course.<\/p>\n

Any changes to the course such as moving a hurdle or changing the movement mode should be followed with a Calc Time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"sl-btn<\/a><\/td>\nSends a signal to all of the hurdles with the same Course ID number triggering a script reset. \u00a0This also resets the Start \/ Finish Line script.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
