RCX Flight / LANDING LIGHT / Script

[ainst Composer 30]

Hello! Question to experienced scripters.

Has anyone ever worked with RCX flight scripts? I have this Land Light script. Its for the prim cone of light. In the off state it is a small cone but when it is turned on it increases.

And I want to redo it into a simple light source (no cone prim). I need to remove all the excess that affects the size of my light source and leave only the turning on/off the parameters of light. What needs to be removed?

Can anyone help?

Skimming over this script, for what you want there's practically nothing to be saved here other than a bit of the link_message() handler with a stripped-down call to llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(). But I very much doubt that all you really want is a point light source; shouldn't it at least toggle full-bright of some side of some prim somewhere? Also, I know nothing about RCX so I'm a little puzzled that this script sets itself to Not-Running state.

You may just want to ask this post be moved to a different forum where you could have the pleasure of paying a scripter to look at it for you.

Yes i was puzzled too about not-running!

However, the problem is solved, minor changes were needed. 

Thank's
