Easyfix? 5 second delay & lock prim position?

[Muther Shinji]

fabulous, now i have to ask how to post code..

Any way to lock a prim's position after 5 seconds?

To post code here, click the little icon with the C on it, in the editing taskbar right above the window when you are creating your post.

No, there's no way to lock an object using LSL.  You have to do that "manually" with your build tool in world.

may depend on what you mean by "lock", but if you mean the little check box in the edit tab, Rolig's is the right answer. Oththerwise post some code (I can't read the C on my screen, but it's the left side clipboard icon, left of the smiley)

Hi, sorry-new to forums and scripting.

 I have a mod of the Security Orb script that i'm using to learn sscripting , and what i'm trying to do is  have the orb float up and then lock it's position and stay there. It takes about 5 seconds for it to rez and float up, so i'm looking for a 5 second dealy.wait,timer etc.

the problems I am having are- it will sometimes rez into the floor, it will sometimes float up higher than 3.5 meters.

if rezzed in sandbox, it tends to float away.

not sure if this is the script or the  prims properties.

prim is set Physical

Just a quick look...... Once the orb is in position, why does it need to remain physical?  Just set your 5 second timer and then

 

timer(){    llSetTimerEvent(0.0);    llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS,FALSE);}

 It won't move after that, and it won't be an unnecessary burden on the sim's physics engine.  Actually, why is it physical in the first place?  If all it's going to do is rise from wherever you rez it and sit 3.5m above the ground at that point, the easiest thing to do is just write

 

on_rez(integer startup){    llSetPos(llGetPos() + <0.0,0.0,3.5>);}

 Or am I missing something?

Thanks ,

 I had it set physical because it would fly like hell straight up, and i couldn't

catch it to edit it

Setting llGetMass() to Fasle got rid of the drifting, and removing physics seems to have done it.

 Thank you again,
