how to make the fire stop on touch???

[Tenly]

I have a lovely fire texture with this script in it--came with my home, is modify. Unfortunately the fire doesnt turn off.  I want to know how to make it stop on touch. I've done a bit of searching to find something that already exists but I dont know enough about LSL to know what I need. 

any help in plain english would be good. I can build a static website, but this isnt your momma's html/css

        llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | SMOOTH | LOOP, ALL_SIDES,1,1,1.0, 1,0.25);

                            // animate the script to scroll across all the faces.

    }

 

    

}

That should do the trick

ooo thank you. Ill give it a try as soon as SL stops misbehaving!

[Qie Niangao]

That should indeed make the fire stop-- quite literally.  :matte-motes-tongue:  

I think an additional function call may be of interest, too.  Something like:

llSetAlpha(giOn, ALL_SIDES);

 perhaps.

[Gruff]

Qie is dead right, stopping the texture anim would only make the texture stop, I think what she needs is for the fire itselfto turn off, aka go invisible.

As you're not LSL literate, I took the liberty of compiling it for you, enjoy!

Thanks for the help. I dont know if either will work yet as Ive had problems with SL saving the script when I try to edit it. It keeps saying it can't be uploaded because the server is experiencing difficulty. story of my life. every time I try to upload textures get the same message.

But, Ill keep trying and one of these days, bet that puppy saves! Ill letcha know if it ever saves!

[Tenly]

heheehe. well it appears even I can break an entire house. lol. The fireplace turned out to have three prims each with a texture. so I changed the script in each, but because they overlap, touching one, leaves the other...oooo and I broke the fire. oh sigh, only I could break fire. so, yes, scripts work, just lil ole me not competent to figure out what to do with a three prim fire. In the end, I deleted the fire and the fireplace and that saved me about 8 prims on my land! so, thats one good thing. Im thinking 8 prims, that just might mean one whole new sofa!

anyway, thanks guys. Ive tucked this away for that day when I can resurrect the fireplace and figure out how to make ALL the prims sleep on touch.

Try rebooting your router.  You could just have a flaky connection.

I tried the changes to that script, I have the same one I use for building.. unfortunately even the 2nd go around with that script only literally stops the flames and makes them static, it doesn't "turn them off" and make the prim invisible. If someone does come up with a change to that script, I'd be grateful as I wish to be able to turn my fireplaces on and off since I despise particle flames.

[Rolig Loon]

I'm not sure which modifications you made, but this will work...

touch_end(integer num_detected) {    if(giOn)     {        llSetTextureAnim(FALSE, ALL_SIDES, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);        llSetAlpha(0.0,ALL_SIDES);    }    else     {    	llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | SMOOTH | LOOP, ALL_SIDES,1,1,1.0, 1,0.25);        llSetAlpha(1.0,ALL_SIDES);    }    giOn = !giOn;}

 

[Veronica Dubienski]

Thanks Rolig!  Would you suggest just adding that to the changes by the previous poster or replacing the script entirely with what you have suggested?

[Rolig Loon]

As far as I can see at a quick glance, there's nothing wrong with the rest of the script.  The action you want is all in the touch_start event, so just replace what's in Darkie's version with what I offered.  It ought to work.  It's just a simple light switch, after all.

Well, OK, I would probably not have written giOn = 1; in state_entry.  I would have written giOn = TRUE; instead, but Darkie's version should work fine.  It's just a stylistic difference.

[Veronica Dubienski]

That's a brilliant fix! Thanks again

 

Only one problem I'm noticing though, I have to not allow the fire prim to have glow set to make the script work. This sadly makes the fire look pretty nasty. Any suggestions or changes you think might help the script in that area?

[Rolig Loon]

Oh, you have glow set too?  Then just add

llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[PRIM_GLOW,ALL_SIDES, 0.05*giON]);

right after the line that says

giOn = !giOn;

If 0.05 is too much (or too little) glow, change the number.

 

[Veronica Dubienski]

yay!!! You are the best! Script is running like a champ and my fireplace has never been better Thanks once again
