Clickable Instagram and Flkr Link in HUD

[Leigh Avelino]

Hi.  I have created a HUD for a mesh item I created in blender.  I want to have my Instagram and Flickr account clickable on the HUD.  How can I do this?  Ive searched the forums but can not find an answer.    Any help would be appreciated.

llLoadURL is a good place to start.

It is also possible to display entire web pages on a prim face via llSetPrimMediaParams.

I think you want something along the lines of llDetectedTouchST which it seems returns the area (xy co-ords) and face of a prim touched so you can then use the llLoadUrl based upon where they clicked on the HUD.

so i need to combine these 2 scripts basically?  and add to a notecard inside a small prim box which is invisible behind my graphc of IG or Flickr?  am i correct in that line of thought.  this is all new to me so ive no idea about how to do this.  any help is greatly appreciated.  so basically i want the small box to be touchable when the person opens the HUD onscreen.  then the client would click the button to see my other items on Flickr or IG.

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        integer touchFace = llDetectedTouchFace(0);
        vector  touchST   = llDetectedTouchST(0);
 
//      ZERO_VECTOR (<0.0, 0.0, 0.0> ... the origin) is in the bottom left corner of the face
//      touchST.x goes across the face from the left to the right
//      touchST.y goes up the face from the bottom to the top
 
        if (touchFace == -1)
            llWhisper(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Sorry, your viewer doesn't support touched faces.");
        else if (touchST == TOUCH_INVALID_TEXCOORD)
            llWhisper(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Sorry, the touch position upon the face could not be determined.");
        else
            llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "llDetectedTouchST(0) = " + (string)touchST
                    + "\ntouchST.x = " + (string)touchST.x
                    + "\ntouchST.y = " + (string)touchST.y);
 

default { touch_start(integer num_detected) { key id = llDetectedKey(0); integer avatarInSameSim = (llGetAgentSize(id) != ZERO_VECTOR);// TRUE or FALSE   if (avatarInSameSim) { string info = "Visit the Second Life website!";   // must start with either "http://..." or "https://..." string url = "http://www.secondlife.com/";   llLoadURL(id, info, url); } else { llInstantMessage(id, "I can only open a URL dialog on your screen if you're in my sim!"); } } }

ok got the buttons to be clickable on the HUD when its in my design room and dragged onto the floor.  the touch hand is there and the request to open external browser comes up fine.  but when i wear the HUD and its on my screen basically, the buttons dont have touch available anymore.  its not clickable.   how can i fix that?

If you just want the text to be clickable, SL chat and dialog menus support the format:

"This is some regular text [http://my.url.com This is a clickable link] more regular text."

This is if your flickr button is not a separate mesh. Use your own buttons face number!

string link1 = "https://www.flickr.com/";
string link1_name = "Flickr";

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(llDetectedKey(0) != llGetOwner()) return;

        integer face = llDetectedTouchFace(0);
        
        if(face == 0) // Your buttons face number
        {
            llOwnerSay("Follow me on ["+link1+" "+link1_name+"]!");
        }     
    }
}

And this is if your flickr button is a separate mesh. Simply name your button "flickr"

string link1 = "https://www.flickr.com/";
string link1_name = "Flickr";

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(llDetectedKey(0) != llGetOwner()) return;

        string button = llGetLinkName(llDetectedLinkNumber(0));
        
        if (button == "flickr") // Your buttons name
        {
            llOwnerSay("Follow me on ["+link1+" "+link1_name+"]!");
        }     
    }
}

Place script to the root

That's nice of you but you aren't teaching people anything by giving them ready to use scripts

Thanks for the criticism, I will consider! by the way, I just noticed that I made a script for only one link, so there’s still something to ponder!
