Demo Version ​

A demo is the same HUD pointing at a demo copy of the product, usually with a "DEMO" texture overlay or fewer options, and often self-deleting after a while. With CLONE and Bulk Edit it takes minutes.

1. Clone the project ​

  1. Rez a copy of the finished HUD on the ground (keep the retail one safe).

  2. Drag *BUILD into it, hold-click the HUD, choose CLONE. A new project, identical to the retail one, opens in the panel.

  3. Rename the HUD in-world to … DEMO so you never mix them up.

2. Create the demo target ​

  1. Rez a copy of the garment, apply your DEMO overlay texture (or bake "DEMO" into the textures), and rename it … DEMO.

  2. Drop *TARGETS in it and choose NEW. It gets its own channel, so the demo HUD cannot control retail items and vice versa.

  3. In the demo project, Targets → Search for targets.

3. Bulk Edit ​

Targets → Bulk Edit: current target = retail garment, new target = demo garment. Every action now points at the demo. Save, Build, test.

4. Trim the demo (optional) ​

Delete functions you do not want in the demo (the extra colors, the Give Items button). Add an Open URL to your store on a spare button.

5. Self-deleting demo (optional) ​

A demo that deletes itself when rezzed keeps people from keeping it around:

text
Rez event
├─ Message (Owner): "Demo items cannot be rezzed."
├─ Timer 2
└─ Delete Object

For a timed demo while worn, use Attach + Timer + Detach:

text
Attach event
├─ Message (Owner): "Demo: 10 minutes."
├─ Timer 600
├─ Message (Owner): "Demo time is over. Get the full version!"
└─ Detach

WARNING

Add the Rez self-delete last and test with a copy: the Rez event fires when you rez the HUD to build it. See Delete Object.

6. Finish ​

Finish! the demo project separately from the retail one. Box the demo HUD with the demo garment.

Keeping retail and demo in sync ​

They are separate projects. When you improve the retail HUD, either repeat the changes in the demo project, or clone again and redo steps 3–5 (a few minutes).
