Turn Light On When Flying

[Reo Ninetails]

Hello, I am very very new to scripting.

I am trying to make a script that when not flying, the object I am wearing is invisible, and when I fly it will make the object visible and turn on the light from it.

 

Can anyone get me started in the right direction?

 

Thanks in advanced!

check here ... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlGetAgentInfo

in your script you would do something in a timer event like...

timer()

{

status = llGetAgentInfo( llGetOwner() );

if( status & AGENT_FLYING)

{  // do stuff to change the alpha & turn on the light

}

else if( status & !AGENT_FLYING)

{ // do stuff to turn off lyte &  make invis

}

}

the invis stuff can use ... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetLinkAlpha

and the light can use...  http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast#llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast

 

yell if ya get stuck

Thanks a bunch! I'll see what I can come up with :3

[Reo Ninetails]

So this is what I came up with so far. Correct me if I am wrong. I am still really new to this.

I have not even begun to even try to turn the lights off/on lol.

default
{
state_entry()
{
_owner = llGetOwner();
llSetTimerEvent();
}
timer()
{
status = llGetAgentInfo( llGetOwner() );
if( status & AGENT_FLYING)
{ // do stuff to change the alpha & turn on the light
llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}
}

{
else if( status & !AGENT_FLYING)
{ // do stuff to turn off lyte & make invis
// opaque
llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 1.0, ALL_SIDES);
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}
}

you are close

try this... you may need to mess with the SLPPF settings for the light..

you need to leave the timer on all the time...

the light settings are  <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0, 20.0, 1.0

<1.0, 1.0, 1.0> is the color WHITE,

1.0, 20.0, 1.0 is ... intensity, radius, and falloff

integer status;default{    state_entry()    {  llSetTimerEvent(1);  // timer fires every second    }    timer()    {      status = llGetAgentInfo( llGetOwner() );      if( status & AGENT_FLYING)                                              // if you are flying      {   llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_THIS, 1.0, ALL_SIDES);               // set alpha to 1.0 ( visible)          llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,          [ PRIM_POINT_LIGHT ,TRUE, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0, 20.0, 1.0]);   // TRUE = light ON      }      else                                                         // if you are NOT flying      {  llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_THIS, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);             // set alpha to invis 0.0         llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,         [ PRIM_POINT_LIGHT ,FALSE, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0, 20.0, 1.0]); // FALSE = light OFF      }    }}

Although the script is working as expected, it has one downside. It will continue to set the light and alpha even if they are already set. To avoid this, there are just a few additional lines of code needed.

 

Following script will check if the 'status' parameter is different to its previous state and only changes the prim light and alpha if so.

 

integer previousStatus=-1;
default{    state_entry()    {  llSetTimerEvent(1);  // timer fires every second    }    timer()    {      integer status = llGetAgentInfo( llGetOwner() );      if( (status & AGENT_FLYING) && previousStatus!=AGENT_FLYING)                                              // if you are flying (and not flying already)      {             // llOwnerSay("flying");          previousStatus = AGENT_FLYING;          llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_THIS, 1.0, ALL_SIDES);               // set alpha to 1.0 ( visible)          llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,          [ PRIM_POINT_LIGHT ,TRUE, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0, 20.0, 1.0]);   // TRUE = light ON      }      else if((status & AGENT_FLYING)==FALSE && previousStatus == AGENT_FLYING)                                                  // if you are NOT flying (and had AGENT_FLYING as previous status)      {           // llOwnerSay("not flying");         previousStatus = 0;         llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_THIS, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);             // set alpha to invis 0.0         llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,         [ PRIM_POINT_LIGHT ,FALSE, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0, 20.0, 1.0]); // FALSE = light OFF      }    }}

BTW I just figured there is also a short version for this code:

 

integer previousStatus=-1;default{    state_entry()    {          llSetTimerEvent(1);  // timer fires every second    }
    timer()    {        integer agentInfo = llGetAgentInfo( llGetOwner() );        integer isFlying = (agentInfo&AGENT_FLYING);      if(isFlying!=previousStatus)       {             //llOwnerSay(llList2String(["not flying","flying"],isFlying));          previousStatus = isFlying;          llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_THIS, isFlying, ALL_SIDES);                      llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,          [ PRIM_POINT_LIGHT ,isFlying, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0, 20.0, 1.0]);        }    }}

Wow guys thanks for all of the awesome help!

You all got me pushed in the right direction.

I was even able to figure out how to turn the object glow on as well, thanks to all of the feedback I got.

My first scripting project is almost complete. Wooo! Thanks again everyone!

Hey gys, i was looking for a similar one, but when on AIR it glows, and when on gorund it hides

i made up something to hide, but couldnt figure out how to glow at all, could you guys help?

its like this key owner;
 
default
{
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
 
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if (change & (CHANGED_OWNER | CHANGED_INVENTORY))
            llResetScript();
    }
 
    state_entry()
    {
        owner = llGetOwner();
        llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
    }
 
    timer()
    {
        integer ownerInfo = llGetAgentInfo(owner);
 
        if(ownerInfo & AGENT_IN_AIR)
            llSetAlpha((float)TRUE, ALL_SIDES);
        else
            llSetAlpha((float)FALSE, ALL_SIDES);
    }
}

Glow is set using llSetPrimitiveParams or llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast. If you pour it into a user defined function, you can simplify the call. I left out the alpha, but you can either add it or, more efficiently, implement it into the list of llSetPrimitiveParams rules.

 

key gkOwner;
integer giIsFlying;

SetGlow(float pfGlowIntensity)
{
    llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_GLOW, ALL_SIDES, pfGlowIntensity);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        gkOwner = llGetOwner();
        llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
    }

    changed(integer change)
    {
        if (change & (CHANGED_OWNER | CHANGED_INVENTORY))
            llResetScript();
    }    
 
    timer()
    {
        integer ownerInfo = llGetAgentInfo(owner);
 
        if(ownerInfo & AGENT_IN_AIR)
        {
            if (!giIsFlying)
            {
                SetGlow(1.0);
                giIsFlying = TRUE;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (giIsFlying)
            {
                SetGlow(0.0);
                giIsFlying = FALSE;
            }
        }
    }
    
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
}
