Does anything only if it is near

[Assmay]

Hello ;)

 

I´m trying to script a simple game and in this game prople have attached a kind of hat.

This hat (not hud, i really mean a hat ;) ) changes color at special events - now I have the problem that only hats in 5m range around the item should change color... So I need something like "if agent range is smaller than 5m than do" operation but sensor looks complicated ;)

 

I appreciate every hint *kiss*

If you ping on a channel such that nearby hats respond, you can then get the position of the key of the responding item and then just call llVecDist.

You could either run a sensor that only detects people within 5m, or you could detet people anywhere and just periodically llWhisper a color change command. Only people/objects who are very close will hear a whispered command.  Neither of those is very hard to script, even for a beginner.

Hi,

 

thanks, yes I tried with sensor but somehow it wont function. Does it gives the results as keys somewhere or is it general? I can use a sensor for me but to find others it confuses me

llSensor triggers a sensor event, as indicated in the LSL wiki.  In the sensor event itself, you may gather whatever information you need about the detected object:  llDetectedKey(), llDetectedName(), llDetectedPos(), llDetectedRot(),.... , just as you can with any touch* or collision* event.
