Years of experience in LSL and server-side Java (mostly J2EE). Please feel free to message me here or inworld, even if I'm offline -- I'll be notified of your inquiry and will be getting back in touch ASAP.

Basically, it's easy. With integer in LSL, you may operate 32 distinct bits (as the integer is stored in 4 bytes). To set a bit, pick its position (starting from right to left, 0 to 31) and power 2 to the position, then apply the 'bitwise or' operator, for example: integer b = 0; b = b | 0x8; // 0x8 (8 decimal) is 2 power 3, hence we're setting here the 4th bit (remember, the position is counted from 0) b = b | 0x40; // 0x40 (64 decimal) is 2 power 6, so the set bit is 7th. To check if a bit is set, simply apply the 'bitwise and': integer b = 0x48; if ( b & 0x20 == 0x20 ) { } // false (think why if ( b & 0x8 == 0x8 ) { } // true if ( b & 0x40 == 0x40 ) { } // true aswell Good luck!

If it's still actual, I would like to assist your friend. I'm native Russian, and he may freely come in touch with me (I wouldn't share my Skype ID or somewhat else private here, so please, first be IMming me in SL). Peace )

Here's the very basic example. Upon start, it renders the prim invisible, then cycles through every face and switches its visibility. integer last = 0;integer total = 0;float delay = 1.0; // The delay between cycle steps, in secondsdefault { on_rez( integer param ) { llResetScript(); } state_entry() { total = llGetNumberOfSides(); integer i; for ( i = 0 ; i < total ; i ++ ) { llSetAlpha( 0.0, i ); } llSetTimerEvent( delay ); } timer() { llSetAlpha( 0.0, last ); last ++; if ( last > total - 1 ) { last = 0; } llSetAlpha( 1.0, last ); }}
