linked objects - Tic Tac Toe

[Mister Webwyre]

Hi guys and gals,

As a scripting newbie, I was working through this example:

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Tic_Tac_Toe

I seem to be missing something on how to link the cubes together.

(I click the first one, then shift click the next 8, then click the link button ... is there another (corrrect ?) way to do it ?)

When I link them, the llGetLinkNumber() function returns the same number, on any cube I touch.

I was expecting (for 9 cubes), nine distinct link numbers / id's

Here's a test script I was trying to use :

 

//
// ShowLinkNum  - use with two or more linked objects
//

integer lnum = 0;

default {
    state_entry() {
     lnum = llGetLinkNumber();
     llOwnerSay("(ShowLinkNum) state_entry) lnum : " + (string) lnum);
     llOwnerSay("llGetNumberOfPrims: " + (string) llGetNumberOfPrims());
    }

 touch_start(integer touching_agents) {
        llOwnerSay("(ShowLinkNum) touch_start) lnum : " + (string) lnum);
    }
}

You need to look for the link number in the touch_start event.   If you look for it in state_entry, you get a single, unchanging value.  Try  llOwnerSay("The link number is " + (string)(llDetectedLinkNumber( 0 ) ) );

Thanks ! ' llDetectedLinkNumber seems to be the function to use for the touch_start event.

 

Now, I added a llSetColor(..... to the touch_start event, but when I click on any of the cubes only cube "#1" is changing color.

I want which ever cube was clicked to change color.

That would be because llSetColor() doesn't have any means for you to specify [the link number of] which prim you want to change.

Read http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetColor, see the 'see also' section towards the bottom.  There is at least one different function that will do what you want.

Thanks Peter, that did the trick. Mike
