MoLock is an attachment lock. It is used to lock any prim to your sub (devices, shoes, jewellery...).

MoLock is the core for most wearable MoDesign products.
MoLock will take care about who is able to control aditional features of the wearables.

RestrainedLife
When used with the RestrainedLife viewer, locked items become undetachable. If you don't use the RestrainedLife viewer, please set the Script to "Classic" mode (see section about the settings meu in this document). For more information about RestrainedLife, please follow this link about RestrainedLife.

The MoLock Menu

When you touch the attachment where MoLock is installed, you get the menu. The menu shows detailed information about:
- the attachment's name and who owns it
- the viewer used (Classic or RestrainedLife)
- if there is a Dominant set (and the name)
- the Keyholder
- the wearer of the item
- weather the lock is locked or not (and if locked RLv-secure)
- some statistics

If you don't get this menu but an other one, press either Plugins->MoLock or MoLock to get the MoLock menu. This happens usually when the attachment is locked.

Not all of the following options are part of all MoLock versions

Take Key
To gain Control, take the key with "Take Key".

Owning the Key gives you the following options:
- Lock the lock
- leave the Key
- give the Key to someone else
- set Time-Lock settings
- change the Settings
In addition, if you are not the wearer, the wearer can submit to you and make you the Dominant

Leave Key
Use this to give the Key back to the lock. Anybody will be able to take it.

Give Key
Use this feature to give the Key to someone else. The recipient is not needed to be nearby or online. Follow the instructions given by the menu.

Becoming Dominant / Owner
You can either be self owned or owned by someone else.

• To be owned by an owner, your future Owner needs to be Keyholder.
  Just press Submit to submit to your owner. The owner is named Dominant.
• To be self owned, open the MoLock menu and press Self Owned.
  This is only possible, if you are not already owned and no one owns the Key.

Second Owners
The Dominant gets the option to add Second Owners:
- press SecOwners
- follow the instructions given by the menu this may take some seconds
You even can add Second Owners while they are not near or offline.
To remove a Second Owner, just klick the button with its name.
Second Owners have the same privileges as the Dominant or a Keyholder, but they cannot add more Second Owners.
You can copy the SecondOwers of all MoLock equipped items by activating the SyncOwners Mode.

Sync Owners
This is an advanced feature. If you use more items that lock with MoLock, you can sync the owner settings.

• Only items owned by the same Dominant are synced.
• If the Lock has no Dominant set, it will also copy the Dominant from an other lock, if possible.
• This makes set up really easy if you buy a new MoDesign product:
• wear it + touch it + press SyncOwners -> all Owners are set up
• (make sure you wear a MoDesign item with the settings you want to copy)
• Once active, all locks with active Sync Owners mode will synchronize their owner settings automatically. When active, a (sync) label is displayed after the Dominants name.

Weld
Weld is used to remove the option to unlock the lock. Only the Dominant can trigger this option. The Dominant and the sub will get a warning they need to confirm.
Use this with care! Do not Weld it for fun!
Please keep in mind, that MoDesign Updates only work with unlocked - thus not welded - items.

FAQ: MoLock

Q: What is MoLock?
[German]
MoLock is a attachment lock.
It is used to lock a prim attachment to your avatar.
You will find all Help about MoLock here.

MoLock works as a classic lock, triggering a IM to notice the Keyholder about the detaching and reattaching of the lock, as well as it keeps statistics about violations.

MoLock also is RestrainedLife viewer compatible, locking items undetachable, if the RestrainedLife viewer is used.

You can set the MoLock to Classic mode or RLv mode.
If you don't use the RestrainedLife viewer, it is recommended to use it only in Classic mode.

It is possible to add plugins in MoLock equipped items to add more features to the Lock or the MoLock equipped item.

MoLock is available in different versions:

• The Basic Version represents a simple Lock.
  Keyholer is always the one that locked the Lock.
• The Full Version has a keyholder concept included.
  It is also possible to set a Dominant that is Master-Keyholder
  The Dominant can configure Second Owners that are Master-Keyholders as well.

Q: How to set a Dominant (owner)
(This feature is only available with MoLock or MoLock light v1.50 or higher.)

You can submit to the Keyholder,

• if a Keyholder is set and
• you are not Keyholder yourself and
• you have not already a Dominant (owner).

If you submit, your Keyholder becomes your Dominant (owner).
The Dominant has special abilities:
The Dominant can

• always and at any time gain the Key at any time.
• add Second Owners (full version v1.50 or higher only)

Brief Instruction:

1. Wear your MoLock equipped attachment.
2. Let the one that shall become Dominant (owner) touch the attachment.
3. Let the one that shall become Dominant take the Key.
4. Touch the attachment yourself.
5. Klick MoLock -> Submit

There is an alternative way:

1. Wear your MoLock equipped attachment.
2. Touch it and choose Take Key from the MoLock dialog
3. Use the Give Key option to give the key to the one that shall become Dominant (e.g. when the one is not present or online).
4. Klick the Submit button.

Q: I get the message 'Wrong Attachment Point' every time I log in
Most probably you changed the attachment point while MoLock was locked. To get rid of the message there are 2 options:

1. use the original attachment point the attachment was locked to
2. or unlock and lock the attachment.

Q: Can I hide the MoLock dialog?
You can hide the MoLock dialog if you use MoLock in Discreet mode.
Only your registered Dominant can change the Discreet mode.
This is very handy if you use MoLock in a attachment that comes with their own dialog or if the dialog woud but disturb if it pops up when anybody touches the attachment.

To activate Discreet mode:

1. Be the Dominant (owner) (see above)
2. Touch the attachment
3. Take the Key
4. Change the mode to 'Discreet'
   MoLock -> Settings -> Discreet

If you need to access MoLock, touch the attachment for more then 2 secods or use a command plugin.


Q: I cannot access the dialog any more
Maybe you set the MoLock to Descreet mode.
(only the registered Dominant (owner) can change this setting)

1. Be the Dominant (owner) (see above)
2. Touch the attachment for more then 2 seconds
3. Take the Key
4. Change the mode to 'Direct'
   MoLock -> Settings -> Direct

Q: How can I get the key / How do I reset the lock?
If you need to reset the lock or if you need the keys back for your Dominant ran away from you, please do the following:

1. Launch a classic viewer (no Restrained Life viewer)
2. Wear your attachment (if not already worn)
3. Touch it
4. Go to MoLock menu (if not already active)
5. Click Reset / in later versions you find the Reset button in the Settings menu.

[When you want to reset your collar, please make sure you reset the HUD, not the collar itself]

That's it!
