The MoonBots HUD lets you control your bot directly from Second Life without needing to open the website for every action.
You can use the HUD to move your bot, sit or stand your bot, open bot settings, interact with Upsies, manage advanced options, control messages, and quickly log your bot in or out.
The HUD has three main sections:
Some buttons appear at the top of every HUD section, so they are always easy to reach.
These buttons appear on the main HUD screen and are available across the HUD sections.
The Bot’s Web Settings button opens the bot’s settings on the MoonBots website.
Use this when you need to change settings that are managed from the web dashboard.
The Upsie’s Settings button opens the bot’s Upsie’s menu.
Use this to quickly open your bot’s Upsies menu; The bot must be wearing their Upsies! And be near you in-world for this function to work.
The Resize HUD button changes the size of the HUD on your screen.
Use this if the HUD feels too large, too small, or is blocking part of your viewer.
The AI Chat Whisper button controls let’s you whisper to your bot.
Whisper a thought or tell your bot something! This is helpful to relay information to your bot that they might have missed in local chat or add roleplay information.
The Minimize HUD button minimizes the HUD, so it takes up less space on your screen.
The Control Me section is used for direct bot control.
Use this section when you want to move your bot, make your bot sit or stand, teleport your bot, adjust hover height, or change your bot’s appearance.
The Sit button makes the bot sit.

The remote control arrows let you move your bot from the HUD.
You can use your movement keys, such as the arrow keys, along with the jump and land keys to remotely move or fly the bot.
This is useful when you need to guide your bot into position.

Depending on your permissions, this may allow you to:

Use this when the bot needs to receive items such as objects, clothing, folders, notecards, landmarks, or other inventory.
The Accept Group Invites toggle allows the bot to accept group invitations.
Use this when the bot needs to join a group for land access, roleplay setup, store use, or other group-based permissions.
Make sure the bot has an available group space before accepting a new group invite. Caution: If your bot is added to a group that costs lindens to join, this will take the bot’s lindens. Only enable as needed.
The Accept Animations toggle allows the bot to accept animation requests.
This may be needed for furniture, roleplay objects, Upsie’s features, or other scripted items that animate the bot.
The Log In button logs the bot into Second Life.
Use this if the bot is offline and you want to bring it online.
It will take a few minutes for the bot to log in and fully load their appearance and Upsies settings.
The Restart button restarts the bot.

The Bot Greeter toggle controls the bot’s greeter feature.
Use this if your bot is set up to greet people, welcome roleplay visitors, or store customers.
The Dialog Relay toggle shows the pop-up menus your bot receives in-world.
This is very useful for roleplay because you can interact with menus from furniture, vendors, poses, scripted objects, and roleplay tools directly through MoonBots.

The Help & Support button takes you to support options.

Use Restart if the bot is online but not behaving correctly.
Use Log Out if you want the bot to go offline fully.
Use the Hover Height slider in the Control Me section.
Adjust the slider until the bot appears at the correct height.
Check that:
