how to add the "owner only" line?

[MadameThespian Underhill]

I'm not a scripter but can do simple alterations.  Would sure appreciate the line of code (and where to put it!) that would make the following script usable by OWNER ONLY.  This is a texture change-on-click script that I'm using to make the windows in my house opaque or alpha:  Much thanks in advance!

 

integer choice = 0;

default
{

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
integer number = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
choice = choice + 1;
if (choice == number) choice = 0;
string name = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, choice);
if (name != "") llSetTexture(name, 1);
}
}

If you are the Owner of the prim that contains the script then you need to check that your name matches the name of the creator or owner of the prim.

Putting a line such as

if (llDetectedKey(0)  == llGetOwner())

after the line

touch_start(integer total_number) {

followed by the rest of the script will only allow you to execute the remainder of the script.

remember to enclose the  rest in braces.

How does that sound

Just to be clear, the structure is

	touch_start(integer total_number)	{		if (llDetectedKey(0)==llGetOwner()){			// do stuff		}	}

 

[steph Arnott]

That not the correct type, you need an alpha script.

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetAlpha

float cloakSpeed = 0.1;integer open = TRUE;default{	touch_end(integer total_number)	{		if (llDetectedKey(0)==llGetOwner())		{			if(open = !open)			{				float alpha = 1.0;				while(alpha > 0.0)				{					alpha -= 0.1;					llSetAlpha(alpha, ALL_SIDES);					llSleep(cloakSpeed);					open = TRUE;				}			}			else			{				float alpha;				while (alpha < 1.0)				{					alpha += 0.1;					llSetAlpha(alpha, ALL_SIDES);					llSleep(cloakSpeed);					open = FALSE;				}			}		}	}}

Depends on how what the build is like, I would have thought.

If you want to switch a prim between being transparent and opaque, then I agree that swtiching the alpha is usually a better way to do it.

However, I've seen plenty of builds where the windows are simple single prims, with a texture showing the frame, panels, transparent panes and open curtains all on the one prim, and you then switch to a texture showing the same window with the curtains closed when you want some privacy.

[steph Arnott]

IDK, as you say, could be a siimple texture. Not how i build, but OP can decide what more usefull. TYPO

[MadameThespian Underhill]

Yes, that's what my window prims are.    :matte-motes-grin:

[MadameThespian Underhill]

I use 2 different textures for the window prim as in the reply below.  But thanks for this alpha script anyway!  It may be helpful for another build I'm making. :matte-motes-grin:

[MadameThespian Underhill]

Thank you everyone for your helpful replies!!  Great community here in SL scripting.  :smileyhappy:

Thank you! :smileyhappy:

Just to be pedantic and because nobody else has suggested it, if the windows are a texture with frame then the BEST way to do it is to use a texture atlas method.

In other words, a SINGLE texture (example, 512x256 in size) with both textures for open and closed on it and then because the texture has already loaded, there's no reloading of a texture, you just change the texture offset via script to show the correct part of the texture.  Either the opened or closed version.

:matte-motes-nerdy:

 

[steph Arnott]

Keeping things simple, for the sake of two textures. Drop the textures into the prim and just use this script. I did not bother with scrolling, it hardly worth the effort for a window.

ADDED: The texture  name needs changing to what ever the texture name is in the inventory of the object.

integer open;default{	touch_end(integer total_number)	{		if (llDetectedKey(0)==llGetOwner())		{			if(open)			{				llSetTexture("TEXTURE NAME",ALL_SIDES);				open = FALSE;			}			else			{				llSetTexture("TEXTURE NEXT NAME",ALL_SIDES);				open = TRUE;			}		}	}}

::i like that idea Sassy   ::

some ideas:

if you have many windows in your house, you could make a control switch to send a msg,

and put a script in each window to listen for a message on how to change each window..

.or.....you could  link the control to the house and check prim names for "window"  and

then you would only need one script.

// **** note: the following code is just a guide / gathering of possiblities

you could use a user function to do the change...

// _______Example window control function________________________

windowCntrl()
{
    integer x;
    for(; x < winListLength; ++x)
    {
       llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast( llList2Integer(windowLinks,x),
       [ PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, winColor, alpha ] );
    }
 }

// an example dialog function .....

mainDialog()
{
     llDialog(ID,page,controls + buttons , channel);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {

         integer prims = llGetNumberOfPrims(); // number of prims in the house
         integer n;
         list primName;
        
         for(n = 1; n <= prims; ++n)
         {
           primName = llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(n, [PRIM_NAME] );          
           if(llList2String(primName,0) == "window")     // look for prims named "window"
           {  windowLinks += n; }                                  // if found,, add that prim's link number to a list
        }
     winListLength = llGetListLength(windowLinks);  // how many windows ( link numbers)

}

 touch_start(integer count)
    {   if (llDetectedKey(0)  == llGetOwner())

       {  llListenControl(handle,TRUE);
          llSetTimerEvent(30);  
          ID = llDetectedKey(0);
          mainDialog();               // open the dialog function to send the msg to the windows

         }
    } 

 listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string mes)
    {

        if(mes == "Open")
        {
            alpha = 0.40;  winColor =  <0.502, 1.000, 1.000>;
            windowCntrl();
            mainDialog();
        }
         if(mes == "Shade")
        {
          alpha = 0.70; winColor =  <0.200, 0.200, 0.200>;
          windowCntrl();
            mainDialog();
        }
         if(mes == "Closed")
        {
          alpha = 1.0;  winColor =  <0.000, 0.000, 0.000>;
          windowCntrl();
            mainDialog();
        }

}

 timer()
    {   
          llInstantMessage(ID,"Dialog Closed");
          llListenControl(handle, FALSE);
          llSetTimerEvent(0);          
    }

Hi,

I've the same problem as Madame thespian.

I'd like to use my texture changer script on my mesh object but which could  be used by the owner only.

I tried what ppl say up there, so i added the line  if (llDetectedKey(0)==llGetOwner()) as it say.

But now, when another avatar click on the object, the menu pop on my window !

Somebody knows why ?

Here's the script:

//Drop this script into an object with up to 22 textures inside. 

//When anyone Touches they will get a menu with all the textures available. Button names in menu will be first 10 characters from that item's name.  

//NOTE: Texture Names may not exceed 24 characters or script error and menu fails. 

integer side = ALL_SIDES; //ALL_SIDES or any face number 0 through 5 

list texture_list; 
list texture_list2; 
key user = NULL_KEY; 

composelist() 
{ 
    integer currenttexture = 0; 
    integer totaltextures = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE); 
     
    if(totaltextures > 0 & totaltextures <= 12) 
    { 
        texture_list = []; 
        do 
        { 
            texture_list = texture_list + llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, currenttexture); 
            currenttexture++; 
        } 
        while (currenttexture > 0 & currenttexture < totaltextures); 
    } 
     
    if(totaltextures > 12 & totaltextures <= 22) 
    { 
        texture_list = ["Next Page"]; 
        do 
        { 
            texture_list = texture_list + llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, currenttexture); 
            currenttexture++; 
        } 
        while (currenttexture > 0 & currenttexture < 11); 
         
        texture_list2 = ["Last Page"]; 
        do 
        { 
            texture_list2 = texture_list2 + llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, currenttexture); 
            currenttexture++; 
        } 
        while (currenttexture >= 11 & currenttexture < totaltextures); 
    } 
     
    if(totaltextures > 22) 
    { 
        llWhisper(0, "You may only have a maximimum of 22 Textures. Please remove any extra ones."); 
    } 
    if(totaltextures == 0) 
    { 
        llWhisper(0, "Please add up to 22 Textures inside this object."); 
    } 
}

        menu(user,"nnPlease select one below.",texture_list);

    listen(integer channel,string name,key id,string message)

You left out the braces, "{}", around the code that should be executed only when the if statement is true. As it stands, only the user = llDetectedKey (0); statement is conditional.

You want

if (llDetectedKey (0) == llGetOwner ())
{
    user = llDetectedKey (0);
    menu (user, "\nPlease select one below.", texture_list); 
}

Thank you, but the script does not work at all now … there's no syntax error but it doesnt work … ugh

it drive me crazy lol thank for your help, in case someone knows why the script doesnt work let me know ^^

Edited March 26, 2020 by LAHIN Milo

[KT Kingsley]

It works fine for me.

Two suggestions: maybe the "Running" box at the bottom left of the script editor window got unchecked, or maybe you're on script-disabled land.

[Lala Milo]

True it works better with the box checked ! thank you
