Known issues

Solution to other entities taking the "Click to Sit" click events

Collisions with other entity's invisible collision hulls sometimes make it difficult to sit. Ensure entities near sit cubes have the property ignorePickIntersection: true.

Avatar is tilted after standing up when Sit Point is tilted

When a sit point is at an angle other than horizontal to the floor, on standup the avatar will be stand at that angle. To fix: use the goto menu and visit another domain. teleport to a friend, or sit again in a horizontal chair.

Sit animation does not apply to an avatar using a different default animation

Animation that is applied before sitting is applied while in the chair and continues after standup.
