Magic Carpet  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 5.0
by: Cardinal05, Architectura
It is a chore to create scaffolding when you just want to build high up or get a better vantage point. Magic Carpet makes it easy to build anywhere in any home by giving you the power of flight. All that you need is Decorator permission and any of the many supported items or collectibles.

Take Off

While in a home, click the hovering Carpet button (see images) to choose a Magic Carpet flight mode. Use the left/right arrows to browse the available Magic Carpet modes or simply choose "Any Available Mode". Then click "Start".

If you have the required furniture items in your home, inventory or bank, Magic Carpet will automatically assemble your "carpet" - or, if not, just grab the required items shown for any of the modes and try again. There are a number of low cost options including a single "Rough Planks, Wide" item or a selection of the "High Elf" carpets that can be used to get started quickly.

Once your Magic Carpet is started, just jump in the air and move about. Your Magic Carpet will keep you afloat and allow you to quickly and easily get anywhere in your home - no building necessary.

Going Up or Down

Be sure to set up the three important key binds under Settings | Controls | General | Magic Carpet. Each key functions as a toggle...

Press Ascend once to tilt your Magic Carpet upwards so that walking, running, jumping or dodge rolling will move you upwards.
Press Ascend again to maintain your current altitude.

Press Descend once to tilt your Magic Carpet downwards so that walking, running, jumping or dodge rolling will move you downwards.
Press Descend again to maintain your current altitude.

Press Suspend once to freeze your Magic Carpet in its current position (be careful that you do not fall off while in Suspend mode).
Press Suspend again to reactivate your Magic Carpet.

Landing

When you are done flying, just click the hovering carpet button again and Magic Carpet automatically disassembles your items and restores them to wherever it found them in the home (or removes them if it placed them from your bank/inventory to begin with).

This release features an enormous overhaul of Magic Carpet internally and visually, including
a new framework that will leverage the upcoming Housing API and Item Linking feature,
dramatically improved performance and stability, a brand new User Interface and configuration
dialog, and a host of new features with literally tons of new Magic Carpets on their way in
the coming weeks.

As nearly all of the add-on's code has been rewritten and/or refactored, your Magic Carpet
settings have been reset to ensure compatibility with this update; however, your keybinds
configured under Controls should not be affected.

[ Features ]

- Dramatically simplified Magic Carpet set up for the dozens of new Magic Carpet Modes that
will be coming in the next several updates, including:

* 1-Button Magic Carpet start up.

* Automated assembly of your Magic Carpet or other mode of transportation using items directly
from your Bank, Inventory or from within your Home (within a configurable range from you).

* Automated disassembly of your Magic Carpet when you are finished with it, including automatic
removal of any items that were placed into the home as part of the Assembly process.

- A brand new User Interface has been designed and developed that gives you a much more intuitive
way of configuring and interacting with your Magic Carpet, including:

* A Magic Carpet selection carousel that allows you to scroll through the various new Magic Carpet
modes that are available now as well as literally dozens more that will be coming over the next
few weeks.

* New visual indicators identify which component(s) are required for your selected Magic Carpet Mode
as well as the quantity of those items that are available in your Bank, Inventory and within
range from you in the Home.

* A "Quick Access" button that will appear whenever you are in a House that you can fly in.
Look for the ethereal Yin and Yang symbol. It wants you to click it.

* Click-to-Adjust your Magic Carpet via the "Quick Access" button. Look for the Raise (Up)
and Lower (Down) arrows that will appear whenever your Magic Carpet is in-flight.

- A near-complete rewrite of the Magic Carpet engine has been done in order to prepare for
the new Housing API features that will be made possible with several new functions provided in
the Murkmire DLC, including:

* Insane new Magic Carpet modes that will include a range of new forms of transportation with
all manner of new vehicles and bizarre contraptions.

* New, game-changing modes that will range from Special Effects and Roleplay Modes that can link
to, alter and orbit your character in real-time to Combat Enhancements for Duels with things
like Magica-Technico suits and Fire- and Earth-Bending Abilities.

2018-08-03 v2.8.1

* Addressed additional scenarios that can cause an erroneous Hand of Geezus(tm) warning message when: teleporting to a different house, jumping via doors or portals or jumping to the "safe location" within a house.

2018-07-23 v2.8.0

* Adjusted velocity prediction to improve stability in higher latency scenarios.
*** More adjustments may be necessary: your feedback is incredibly valuable and appreciated!

2018-07-10 v2.6.0

* Fixed an issue where The Hand of Geezus(tm) would not catch you during a free fall if the Rough Planks, Wide available were bought from the Crown Store.

* Added support for 3x [Ice Floe, Thin]

* Further calibrated the carpet animation logic to provide a more smooth experience and even fewer accidental drops, dips or descents.

2018-07-02 v2.4.0

* Added new Idle animations to simulate the effect of air (or water?) currents on your Magic Carpet. These animations can be enabled or disabled via the Settings.

* Adjusted how the Magic Carpet adapts to quick rotation to further minimize unwanted descending.

* Revised the signature The Hand of Geezus(tm) landing emote to something more devout.

* Added a configurable Setting to make the Ascend and Descend keys function as either Toggles, or as they do today, as keys you must Hold Down.

2018-04-17 v2.0.1

* Wired Settings > Update Speed option to the underlying dynamic ascension, horizontal and free-fall calculations.

* Settings > Update Speed now dynamically increases ascension, horizontal and free-fall predictive coefficients to help compensate (within reason) to moderate latency conditions.

2018-04-15 v2.0.0

* Added support for several new "carpet" item types, including actual carpets (Altmer).

* Completely redesigned the controls:
- Gradual ascending can be performed through the new "Ascend" controls key bind.
- Gradual descending can be performed through the new "Descend" controls key bind.
- Ascension can still be performed through jumping.
- Removed prior CTRL/ALT/SHIFT/COMMAND controls.

* Completely redesigned core "flight" logic:
- Carpet updates are triggered by player movement relative to the current carpet position in lieu of the prior edge-to-edge placement strategy.
- Ascension, movement parallel to the ground and free-falling are now all variable calculations and can respond dynamically to changing latency conditions.

I was literally just watching a special on Shanghai Disney in which Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the main attractions. Then, I logged in to see your comment and literally laughed out loud. On point, I must say...

I will take a look at the boat and see if I can patch its apparent leak. As epic of an entrance as that was for Jack, I could see why a sinking boat might be less than ideal...

Hi Radar! Thank you so much for letting me know -- player feedback is incredibly valuable for helping to improve this add-on as I cannot replicate every latency/fps scenario. I have updated the add-on (v 2.8.0) to include the X/Z-axis velocity into the Ascending / Free-fall state calculations; this resulted in an adjustment to the corresponding predictive coefficients.

If you take a look at the LUA code now, you should see these changes in both the Coefficient values defined in the "constants" portion at the top as well as the MC.OnUpdate event handler.

Would it be possible for you to ask your friends who were experiencing issues to download the update and give any feedback that they can? As always, your help is appreciated and I hope that this update improves the situation for them! :-)

I hear ya -- check out the latest version... v2.0.0 has been completely redesigned and includes a new, more fluid "flight" experience including slightly improved free-fall detection and Y-axis acceleration calculations to hopefully address that issue for folks with less than ideal ping scenarios. If you still experience any issues, please let me know as there are a few other things I may be able to do to help.

Why do the crown store ones work for flying??
Great question and the short answer is: I was comparing items by localized Name when finding items for the Carpet; but, I was using the Item Link (which is different for Crown Store items) when finding "The Hand". I'm uploading a fix for this right now -- and THANK YOU! :-)

Oh nooo! The Hand(tm) should always save you if you have a Rough Planks, Wide in the house somewhere. Did you place the planks in the house first? Also, did you check to make sure that the Hand of Geezus(tm) setting, under Settings > Addons > Magic Carpet is turned to "On"?

If you have done both of these things already -- and I am already assuming you're the house owner or have Decorator permissions -- then I have a question about a less likely scenario:

Was anyone else possibly using the planks for their own Magic Carpet at the time? Technically, two players' Carpets could compete for the planks if one player has the Carpet enabled while the other player is falling (if the falling player's Carpet add-on tries to 'steal' the plank away from the other player's active Carpet).


Also, as for using multiple, different carpets: The add-on looks for supported item types near to the player when the Carpet is activated. So, if you were to put down a pile of 3x Rough Planks, Wide and then a few meters away make another pile of 3x Clockwork Vents and so on (or even if you just make spaced out piles of 3x the same items as well), then each player can stand on their own pile, turn on the carpet and just go... each player's copy of the add-on will pick up the nearest pile, so you could [technically] have 24 players zipping around on their own carpets of the same or varying item types. The main thing is just that the Carpet only supports using 3 of the same type of item. So 3x Rough Planks, Wide or 3x Scavenged Gratings, Wide, etc.


Please let me know if you have any more questions or if my questions about the Hand of Geezus(tm) did not help you identify the problem at all. (and if it's still happening -- would it be at all possible for you to send a video?)

Great Addon! One Question.

How do you do 2 different carpets in the same house? With to different players. IE. Dueling.

Thanks, no more building scaffolding to get to hard to reach place.

Judgelrae


PS: figured it out... added another set of carpets and had my friend download the Magic Carpet!!

Hi there. I'm sorry you feel that way. You should be able to disable the animations entirely by turning OFF the option:
Settings > Addons > Magic Carpet > Enable Idle Animations

If this does not work for you though, please try the following steps in order:

1. Disable the Add-on and reload the UI.
2. Delete the SavedVariables\MagicCarpet.lua file.
3. Enable the Add-on and reload UI.
4. Turn OFF the option Settings > Addons > Magic Carpet > Enable Idle Animations.

If this still does not work, please reload the UI and post the contents of your SavedVariables\MagicCarpet.lua file.

Thank you so much!

Haha, nice... I'll bet it is. The castle-like buildings are quite awesome (and tall), so flying around them is probably awesome. :-P

Well, that is music to my ears (or eyes in this case). I can only imagine how much fun that must be when you can basically navigate the entire zone region. :-P

Thanks for the feedback!
