General -- beYou Meter

The beYou Meter (aka beYou Buddy/beYou Person on your head) is a tool used in combination with the beYou Hud in order to better reflect stats and other useful tools for play in beYou.

### Interactions

These are the basic interaction options for when you click on someone else's meter. By clicking on another's meter, you are actively adding them to your beYou friend's list which is used for the beBell Cell Phone for texting. You can even prioritize your friends by adding them to your favorites. Friends that have the favorite star assigned will be the first to show up in your phone's contact list.

The more you click a person's meter, the more your friendship status will change on the beYou Website under the friends tab. While this doesn't particularly bear any importance aside from a title change, it's fun to see what levels you can achieve in friendship on the site.

When you click another person's meter, these are the options you will see depending on if they're an adult or a child:

#### Adults - Friend

* Chat
* Handshake
* Wave
* Big Hello
* Hug
* Tickle
* Smack Head
* Spanking

#### Adults - Romantic

* Hold Hands
* Romantic Walk
* Smooch
* Kiss Nose
* Big Wet One
* Get a Room
* Kick in Ass

#### Adults When Interacting With Children

* Handshake
* Wave
* Big Hello
* Punish
* Get Hand
* Play
* Stomp

#### Children With Anyone

* Wave
* Big Hello
* Goofy
* Stomp
* Hug
* Carry

#### Parental Controls (Parents & Children)

If you are the Head of Household (HOH) and have children in the family Parental Controls should show up when the HOH parent clicks on the child's meter. Additionally, the HOH has the ability to add additional parent controls for other Adults in the family. This will grant parental controls to the kids in the family. To do this, edit the family members information (HOH will see these controls on the family page) and set the family members "**Family Role/Title"** to Parent as seen below:

##### Child Meter Parental Controls

* Hold Hand
* Ground
* Spank Butt
* **Reward** - The reward requires that the Adult (parent) who is giving the reward has assets to any one of the Lollipops (Reward Lolli Cherry, Reward Lolli Peppermint, Reward Lolli Rainbow, Reward Lolli Grape, Reward Lolli Lemon, Reward Lolli Lime). If the parent has any of these they can send them to the child using this option on the meter. This will deliver the Lollipop to the child. Only parents can use Lollis as a reward for their child(ren). They must be in the same family, and the parent must have a title of 'parent'.

## Icon Meanings

When interacting with another beYou user's meter, certain actions will trigger certain visual changes to the meter.

* Wings & Halo = a good interaction (like hugs, waves, kisses, etc.)
* Horns & Tail = a bad interaction (like smacking someone or when during October you get infected with the zombie virus)
* Bandage & Tear = beYou illness (time to see a beYou General Practitioner)
* Floating Icons that match the icons on your stats = that stat is below a certain % (see below)

## Stats

Just like the beYou Hud, the meter will display your beYou stats in its hovertext.

In addition, it will show your name (or a custom name you choose via account options), your gender, an icon that changes depending on your health status, your species, and your age (adult or child).

### Stats Drop

In the event that your stats fall below 20% an icon matching the stat that is low will float above your head then fade. This will continue at random intervals until you get your stats back up to above 20%.

### Health Changes

In the event you become sick, your icon will change from a little person to a shield with a cross in it.

In addition, your bePeep will have a bandage on its head with a tear.

During Zombie Season in October, your bePeep will show devil horns & tail if you are infected with the zombie virus.
