Newbie: Animate an attached Prim

[vh1 Boa]

Hi,

i have a Prim attached on Avatar's Pelvis.

Now i want to animate it 'on touch' to come out like a tongue.

My version:

 

vector startPosition;
vector endPosition;
integer counti = 0;

default {
    
    on_rez(integer a) {
      llResetScript();
    }
    
    
    state_entry()    {
        startPosition =  llGetPos();
        endPosition = startPosition + <0.0,0.0,0.1>;
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number) {
        if (counti==0) { 
            llOwnerSay( "Up");
            counti = 1;
             llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POSITION,endPosition]);
        } else { 
            llOwnerSay( "Down");
            counti = 0;
            llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POSITION,startPosition]);
        }
    }

}  

 

It works fine if i rez it on Ground, but not as attachment.

So, whats the Problem?

Thank you

This should work for an attachment:

 

vector startPosition;vector endPosition;integer counti = 0;default {        on_rez(integer a) {      llResetScript();    }            state_entry()    {        startPosition =  llGetLocalPos();        endPosition = startPosition + <0.0,0.0,0.1>;    }    touch_start(integer total_number) {        if (counti==0) {             llOwnerSay( "Up");            counti = 1;             llSetPos(endPosition);        } else {             llOwnerSay( "Down");            counti = 0;            llSetPos(startPosition);        }    }}

you problem was using llGetPos, which returns the avatars position when called from the root of an attachment, use llGetLocalPos instead

[vh1 Boa]

Hi,

llGetLocalPos don't work. My Item disapears!

(Found it aprox. 10 m above!)

Is there an offset or something?

 

Thank you!

you need to reset it when it attaches =)

although my test with the same code showed something ridiculous... I had to make moves of 1.4m or more before the viewer would show it to me on V2... adding llSetText at the end of the touch cured it, but that shouldn't be happening (and it's not your code at fault)

[Darkie Minotaur]

Same effect here: You need 1m on Phoenix to see the movement without any tricks.

[Rolig Loon]

Yup.  I played with it for a while last night and discovered the same thing. 1m is still a lot for a minimum. Annoying.

[vh1 Boa]

Hi,

reset if attach seems to work for the "dissapearing".

But now happens: Nothing!

my code so far:

 

vector startPosition;vector endPosition;integer counti = 0;default {        on_rez(integer a) {      llResetScript();    }         attach(key id)    {              llResetScript();    }    state_entry()    {        startPosition =  llGetLocalPos();        endPosition = startPosition + <0.1,0.0,0.05>;    }    touch_start(integer total_number) {        if (counti==0) {             llOwnerSay( "Up");            counti = 1;            llSetPos( endPosition );          } else {             llOwnerSay( "Down");            counti = 0;            llSetPos( startPosition );          }    }}

 

 

I tried also

llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POSITION,endPosition])

and

llMoveToTarget(endPosition,0.5)

Nothing works.

I hope theres a way to move this thing...

Thank you,

P.S.: ... dont work with <2,2,2> distance ...

Have you tried Voids llSetText trick?

 

vector startPosition;vector endPosition;integer counti = 0;default {        on_rez(integer a) {      llResetScript();    }         attach(key id)    {              llResetScript();    }    state_entry()    {        startPosition =  llGetLocalPos();        endPosition = startPosition + <0.1,0.0,0.1>;    }    touch_start(integer total_number) {        if (counti==0) {             llOwnerSay( "Up");            counti = 1;            llSetPos( endPosition );             llSetText(" ", <1,1,1>, 0);         } else {             llOwnerSay( "Down");            counti = 0;            llSetPos( startPosition );              llSetText("  ", <1,1,1>, 0);         }    }}

 

This works great for me.

 

[Rolig Loon]

llSetText may be too gentle to work all the time.  I sometimes have better luck changing the color of a prim face.  Try this version, which recolors face #1 .......

 

vector startPosition;vector endPosition;integer counti = 0;default {        attach(key a) {        if(a)        {          llResetScript();        }    }            state_entry()    {        startPosition =  llGetLocalPos();        endPosition = startPosition + <0.0,0.0,0.1>;    }    touch_start(integer total_number) {        llSetPos((vector)llList2String([startPosition,endPosition],counti= !counti));        llOwnerSay(llList2String(["In","Out"],counti));        llSetColor(<1.0,1.0,1.0>*counti,1);    }}  

 

 

[Void Singer]

yay an optimized version...

...and now to make everything relative, and not reset when in the up position:

integer gBooMoved;default {    touch_start( integer total_number ) {        llSetPos( llGetLocalPos() + llList2Vector( [<0.0, 0.0, -0.1>, <0.0, 0.0, 0.1>], (gBooMoved = !gBooMoved) ) );        llOwnerSay( llList2String( ["Down","Up"], gBooMoved ) );        llSetText( (string)gBooMoved, ZERO_VECTOR, 0.0 );        //llSetColor( <1.0,1.0,1.0> * gBooMoved,1 ); //--fails to show the first move if color is already white    }}

 

 

[Rolig Loon]

Oooo!  A compressed optimized version.  I like it.  :smileywink:

[vh1 Boa]

Hi,

yes, works great!

Thank you!

But: Little problem again:

If i set my Prim "Down" and detach it, this place is the new start place!

So it must return to the startPosition befor i take it of.

Is there an event BEFORE detach of a Prim?

i tried:

 

     attach(key id) {              if(id) {            llResetScript();        } else {             llSetPos( startPosition );              llSetText(" ", <1,1,1>, 0);          }

 without success.

 

Thank you

Hi,

very compact code!

I like it, works perfect!

Is it possible to "reset" the position if i wear it again?

 

Thanks very much

[Void Singer]

sure, add an attach event like in rolig's example, but instead of  a reset, check if gBooMoved is true and if it is call the same move code... at that point you might want to shift the move code to it's own function that you can call

it works because the prim no longer cares where it's at in the moment, it just moves up or down from where it's located at the moment.

Hi,

works great!

 

Thank you,
