MissBegotten Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 it's more specific than a radar. it only identifies avatars involved in the game. more like an area search for avatars wearing a certain attachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) It sounds as if it an object similar to the "Angels Elven Ring" that is used to detect nearby avatars who are playing the "Progeny" vampire game. Progeny vampires must be within 3 meters of you to "bite" you, so if you can detect them, it's easy to stay out of their range. I would rather have a ring that would let me get IN range. In range of vampires using silly HUDs so I can drive a stake through their hearts, sure...but even better, to get in range of hawt vampires like @Gabriele Graves, for...um, other purposes.

ChinRey Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 3 hours ago, MissBegotten said: no. i wanted to learn what a dangerous script looked like. You would almost certainly have to decipher almost the entire script to figure that out and that can be hard work even for an experienced scripter. Besides, if the script is no modify - and it usually is, you won't even be able to see the code. So, what it is, is simply an identifier to help active players locate each other. That's perfectly normal and often neccessary for role play - nothing sinister about that. Still, you did the right thing by testing it first if you weren't sure the script did what it claimed to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louminca Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 This sounds like a plot to a movie. I'd hit the button and take the money if I was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the scripts are no mod then you won't be able to see what it is they do IF you are familiar with LSL. Now what were you saying about no one being knowledgeable?

We have to be super careful when we encounter these scripts and make sure that we fully trust the person who gave it to us This is correct except for the part about fully trusting someone. Even if you do trust the person who gave you the object that is asking for payment permissions DO NOT GRANT THE PERMISSIONS. The ONLY time you do so is when it is a vendor that YOU rez out of YOUR inventory that YOU purchased from a reputable vendor creator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A radar will show all avatars in the sim,their names and how far away they are from you.. Or you could use the built in radar in FS and other TPVs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area search is also built in, in FS and other TPVs. How's that for knowledge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea,but I'm used to the one I used to use from mystitool,where you just had this little tiny dot down in the bottom corner, and the names were about the only thing showing.
