We can finally make chairs that don't allow people to sit teleport

[Kyrah Abattoir]

Figured i'd post this little tip here. But you can use the experience permission system to create experience chairs/beds/sittable that don't actually allow people to sit from across the room.

Using llSitOnLink() you can obviously do all your checks before the object sits the user (you'll need a menu to confirm obviously otherwise it's a little rude) but by setting the primite parameter PRIM_SCRIPTED_SIT_ONLY to true, you can ensure that avatars cannot actually sit on that object all by themselves.

Things I've made with this so far:

• Respawn points.
• Chairs that only work if you are next to them.
• Animated mini-cutscenes (squeezing through a crack in a wall, crawling under a blast door, or through a vent).

What other fun uses have you found for those functions?

Another way is to use a sensor-based rezzer. I use a scene version of this (though it's not available any more, sad): https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Rezz-On-Sensor-Auto-rezz-on-avatar-presence/17901082 So there are two ways, depending on how one wishes to create the general visitation experience.

The issue with this method is that the chair is accessible to anyone, not just the avatar next to it.

It doesn't exist until an avatar is next to it, that's the point

[Kyrah Abattoir]

Yes but then anyone can sit on it, included avatars "not" next to it.

The experience method gets around that by having the chair sits you and preventing people from sitting manually

A movelock "assist" that can't be overpowered by keyframe motion collisions or "special" pushes.

A sit teleporter that bypasses landing points, but must have public rez enabled "somewhere" in the sim.

Also, I think you're a little late to the party with the other "discoveries" as llSitOnLink() has been out for 3 years now, heh.

PRIM_SCRIPTED_SIT_ONLY

i made a couples dance with this. Basically how it works is:

1) Person touches the dance console or uses a HUD which communicates with the console

2) Gets a list of people nearby and shows them in a Invite dialog

3) Invite a partner to dance. When they accept then

4) Rez a invis plate at the feet of the person, auto sit them both on the plate (llSitOnLink)

5) Then they both get a menu for the dances, and it plays the dances like usual

6) When either stands then unsit the other and llDie the plate

 

i also made a chase game that uses the same technique

1) People touch the console to register for the game. Get a HUD (temp auto attach)

2) Choose "Chased" or "Chaser" from the HUD

3) if "Chaser" then HUD gives a dialog listing the "Chased"

4) Pick a person to chase. The person gets a message that they are being chased by the "Chaser"

5) The "Chaser" has to bump collide the "Chased" to catch them

6) When caught then step 4) above and do stuff

Well you learn something everyday

Specifically PRIM_SCRIPTED_SIT_ONLY  is fairly new for me.

I use PRIM_SCRIPTED_SIT_ONLY on my escalators and moving sidewalks.They have no sit targets at all. The movement comes from the physics engine and friction, and sitting interferes with that.

Oh that's a good idea!
