Help needed with basic transparency script.

[Pippo Anderton]

Greetings everyone. This is my very first post here and i'd like to say hello to everybody here and thanks for the support you provide to everyone in need. My extremely low scripting skills brought me here to ask for help regarding something i wanted to try. Is it possible to insert a script inside a part of a mesh avatar (say for example the eyelids or any other separated part of the mesh) and make it so it goes transparent every 10 seconds? Literally just going back and forth from transparent to opaque in a specific amount of seconds. Thank you all!

If you can modify your mesh avatar, then you could put this script in the link that you want to mess with.

You'll need to know the face number of the part you're targeting and use that instead of the 1 I've used in this example.

float interval = 10.0;
integer face_number = 1; 
integer opacity;

default
{
    state_entry ()
    {
        llSetAlpha (opacity, face_number);
        llSetTimerEvent (interval);
    }

    timer ()
    {
        opacity = !opacity;
        llSetAlpha (opacity, face_number);
    }
}

This is not likely, in most cases, but try it and see what's possible.  If your mesh avatar cannot be modified, you're out of luck.
