Need help with hud feature

[MSTRPLN]

Hello, i'm almost done with my hud i have one more feature to add before i can make it communicate between the actual meshes.

I'm not sure how i would explain this so it's understandable so here's a little gif to explain: - Click

The way it's constructed for me is the following:

the HUD would send that output to the mesh and tell on which face to change which texture to (more specific the texture + offset). This could be 1, 3, all etc.
On the left example of the mesh the 2 parts would be on top of each other instead of next to eachother.

A full_perm copy of the hud working in-game could be given for a live representation of what it does already, just send me a IM

some more images to understand:

                llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(3, [ PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "20c83606-4207-3382-ef44-819077616fe0", <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, 0.0 ]);
            }
        }   
    }
}

Ofcourse the "return llList2Integer(glSortNum2, cellIndex);" would be changed to llRegionSayTo once i start doing the communiction between the HUD & the Mesh

not sure what the question is?

is some part not working, or do you need help with something?

I need to add this feature, the rest is already working i just need this one feature to finish the script

[Xiija]

As far as i can tell, the feature you are talking about is.....

.. having the HUD communicate the info to the prims?

if so, mebbe use llRegionSay()  ( http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlRegionSay )

you can parse the sent info in the other script?

[Berksey]

Your current work in progress is already beyond my current abilities, so I'm not going to be any help whatsoever, but I wanted to chime in and say that I really like how you've formatted your post, with all of the images and info.

I've never done anything involving setting scale or offset or anything on textures myself, at least not with scripting, so all of that is over my head, but you've got some impressive work going there so far.

[bmesh]

Pretty much llRegionSay() or llRegionSayTo() setting up a listener handler on the prim(s) parse the "message". There are lots of ways once you get there. A good idea is to think about isolating the message to into blocks of logic you plan on working with.

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlListen

Setting up a listener, channel (use negative values RE: viewers cannot comm over negative channels) you wish to communicate on and parsing the message into the appropiate blocks of commands is where you are at I suppose.

 

[MSTRPLN]

Sorry i;'ve been away for long time. I think i should've exlained it simpeler. Im not codign the communication just yet.

For example let's take the road decals, clckking of the first one willl output: "This Texture has been seleted: Decal 1" the second one will do the same but output 2.
So far it doesnt have any faces to change the texture on. thats what the selector is for (which isnt coded yet).

Selecting none will result in no changes, selectign one, multiple or all faces on the selector will make the hud change textures on the corresponding faces (as of right now just output text)
for example: "Faces selected 3 & 5 - Texture selected 1" when having faces 3 and 5 selected and licking on texture 1 (image preview)

This is what i need help with to make this work

At this point, your script is complex enough that it will take anyone else a long time time to figure out what it does, before we'd be able offer constructive advice. I'll be surprised if anyone wants to invest that much time.

This is the heart of scripting and the hardest part-- determining the logic of what you want to do and translating it into unambiguous code. ( It's also where the fun is, if you can live with a certain amount of frustration. )  I suggest loading your script with llOwnerSay statements to keep track of key variables as it runs, and then slowly and deliberately working through each module of code to verify that it follows whatever logical pathway you think you have designed. You're in a much better position to do that than anyone else, because you have the layout in your head. It may make sense to rip out subsections of the script and test them separately.  Debugging simplified versions of a script can often give you insights that would be lost in debugging the more complex version.
