scripting Scripting a basic clothing HUD and need help.

[bodbuiler65]

I'm trying to make a very basic clothing HUD the operates very similarly to an omega applier. A single button that will send texture map, normal map, specular map, and glossiness. I'm using llRegionSayto() to send the UUIDs from the HUD over to the clothing. I'm using llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast to set the maps to the clothing. the only problem I'm having right now is being able to set a value for glossiness in the HUD script that will then send over too the clothing script. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Consider to send multiple values in a single message. 

Example:

Sender:
llRegionSayTo(llGetOwner(),-50100,llDumpList2String([8b5fec65-8d8d-9dc5-cda8-8fdf2716e361,8b5fec65-8d8d-9dc5-cda8-8fdf2716e361,8b5fec65-8d8d-9dc5-cda8-8fdf2716e361,51],"|"));
send everything in one string - values separated by "|"

Receiver:
// split up the string
list p = llParseString2List(msg,["|"],[]);
string tex1 = llList2String(p,0);
string tex2 = llList2String(p,1);
string tex3 = llList2String(p,2);
integer gloss = llList2Integer(p,3);
// execute
llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN,[PRIM_TEXTURE,ALL_SIDES,tex1,<1,1,0>,<0,0,0>,0.0,PRIM_NORMAL,ALL_SIDES,tex2,<1,1,0>,<0,0,0>,0.0,PRIM_SPECULAR,ALL_SIDES,tex3,<1,1,0>,<0,0,0>,0.0,<0.5,0.5,0.5>,gloss,0]);

Only a couple of problems, actually.  Your variable singlet appears in the sending script but is undefined in the receiving one. In the receiving script, it is msg.  The block of code that starts with list p = and ends with integer gloss = is not in any event at all.  You probably meant it to be in the listen event. Your use of llParseString2List and llDumpList2String are fine.

A conversation like this really belongs in the Scripting forum, BTW.  😉

I tried what you said and I get syntax errors in the reciever. I'm still reletively new to lsl so bare with me here. I'm not familiar with llDumpList2String or llParseString2List. There is a good chance that I am using them wrong.

Turns out into something that belongs in the scripting forum. Script stuff is always more than just a question. 😁

All code in a lsl script is in events, maybe take a class if you are interested in scripting, makes the start easier.

llListen (integer chan, string what, key who, string msg) {

	if (llGetOwnerKey(who) != llGetOwner()) return;

	list p = llParseString2List(msg,["|"],[]);
	string tex1 = llList2String(p,0);
	string tex2 = llList2String(p,1);
	string tex3 = llList2String(p,2);
	integer gloss = llList2Integer(p,3);
	llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN,[PRIM_TEXTURE,ALL_SIDES,tex1,<1,1,0>,<0,0,0>,0.0,PRIM_NORMAL,ALL_SIDES,tex2,<1,1,0>,<0,0,0>,0.0,PRIM_SPECULAR,ALL_SIDES,tex3,<1,1,0>,<0,0,0>,0.0,<0.5,0.5,0.5>,gloss,0]);
	
}

Thank you all for your help. I was able to get it working finally. Was also having problems with who the script should listen too.

So funny thing happened, I thought I was in the scripting forum. Woops.
