bright, glow and alpha

[Ayane Philly]

What is the correct way to change the bright glow and alpha in an object inside a timer? I wanna make a light that turnoff all and then on faster with a texture on it.

 

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
     
        llSetTimerEvent(2);
    }
 
    timer()
    {
      llSleep(0.5); 
    }
}

All you need to script is a simple toggle switch.  Basically

integer iSwitch;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(2.0);   //Or whatever time you want ...
    }

    timer()
    {
        iSwitch = !iSwitch;
        if (iSwitch)
        {
            //  Turn stuff ON
        }
        else
        {
            // Turn stuff OFF
        }
    }
}

And in this case, you use llSetLinkPrimitiveParams to set your desired values of alpha (in the PRIM_COLOR paramater) and PRIM_GLOW. (EDIT: Oh yes, and PRIM_FULLBRIGHT.  Thank you, Fritgern.   )

typos, of course

Try this: 

default
{
    state_entry()
    {     
        llSetTimerEvent(2);
    }
 
    timer()
    {
        llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [PRIM_FULLBRIGHT, ALL_SIDES, 1,
                                                 PRIM_GLOW, ALL_SIDES, 1.0, 
                                                 PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, llGetColor(ALL_SIDES), 0.5]);
    }
}

Note that I used PRIM_COLOR to set the alpha, because there is no constant for alpha I had to use the alpha property of PRIM_COLOR.
Alternatively, you can use llSetAlpha(0.5, ALL_SIDES); instead of the PRIM_COLOR thing.
