You can fly up to a distance of 1 million metres, but this would take a very long time unless using a movement script and if you go over this height you COULD

Maps

You can use the minimap to find out where you and other avatars are. The orange dot is you and the green dots are other people at about the same height as you. Ts indicate people above you and upside-down Ts indicate people below you. The minimap also shows some other things - dark blue is water, green is land, grey is other people's builds, purple shows objects with 'share with group' set and are in a group that you're also in and light blue indicates your objects.

chatting, IM and friends

Chat

You can chat with other avatars by selecting the 'chat' icon http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/786/chat2my2.png http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/2952/chat1mo1.png

You can chat with any other avatar in schome park whether they are on your friends list or not. If you click the say icon once you have typed in your text, then avatars can hear it from 20 metres away. If you click the 'shout' icon then avatars will be able to hear your text from 100 metres away. There are different channels you can speak on, e.g for channel 1 you would put '/1' in front of your text. Other avatars will usually be unable to hear different channels but it is useful when giving scripted objects commands. If you put '/me' in front of your text then it will appear as if you have not said it. E.G 'Faz Schomer is having fun' instead of 'Faz schomer says: is having fun'
