HELP: Creating a HUD with Texture Changing and Face Visibility Toggle Switch

[D33SS3]

Hello everyone!

[ My knowledge with LSL Scripting is at a beginner level, so please bare with me! :) ]

Recently, I purchased a texture changing script from Renderworks, I'm not having trouble with creating a HUD with texture changes.

However, I was wondering if it was possible to add to the script an option to control the visibility of a particular face of a mesh and/or combine two faces for one on and off toggle.

Welcome aboard.

You will want to start becoming familiar with the LSL wiki, specifically the section on Functions.  In this case, study the entries for llSetTexture ( and llSetLinkTexture ) and for llSetAlpha ( and llSetLinkAlpha ).  They will show you the proper syntax for getting the right texture on the right face and determining whether it's visible of transparent.  

While you are just learning, the easiest way to think of accomplishing many  things at once is to collect them into the same scope, so that they are all handled by the same decision, as in

if ( iON == TRUE)
{
    // do this
    // and this
    // and this
}

There are more compact ways -- much better ones -- of doing this ( take a look at llSetLinkPrimitiveParams in the wiki ), but get comfortable with the basic method first.

Yay, thank you!

I will be doing the research right now!
