TrinityReclusive 12 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Ok i cant seem to get this right so help would be great. I want to trigger the following particle script with a chat command On & Off (channel not important can change latter) default { state_entry() { llParticleSystem( [ PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_ANGLE, PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT,(integer) 4, PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE,(float) .05, PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE,(float) .6, PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MIN,(float)1, PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MAX,(float) 7.0, PSYS_PART_START_SCALE,(vector) <0,.1,0>, PSYS_PART_END_SCALE,(vector) <.04,.5,0>, PSYS_PART_START_COLOR,(vector) <1,0,0>, PSYS_PART_END_COLOR,(vector) <.2,0,0>, PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA,(float)0.5, PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA,(float)0.00, PSYS_PART_FLAGS, PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK | PSYS_PART_FOLLOW_VELOCITY_MASK | PSYS_PART_FOLLOW_SRC_MASK | PSYS_PART_INTERP_SCALE_MASK ] ); } } The above is the particle i want to trigger on and off with a chat command. I have tried different ways from what i have read but never worked. So i ask the pros here what to add and where to get the above particle to trigger On & Off by chat Command. My Minds is melting but then its 3 am lol Help please if you would be so kind. Link to post Share on other sites
Qie Niangao 4,699 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 To use chat to trigger anything, a script must first set up a listener by calling llListen() and having a listen() event handler. The linked wiki articles give some examples. The llParticleSystem() call, then, will move from the state_entry() handler to the listen() handler, where it should appear when the input text is "on" (or whatever chat you want) and where the corresponding "off"-like command clears the particles with the empty-list call: llParticleSystem([]); Instead, state_entry() will contain that call to llListen(). You'll need to make a design decision about whether it just keeps one listener open all the time or if should only listen after some even earlier trigger (such as a touch). If it should listen at all times, the script won't need to keep the listen "handle" in order to remove or manipulate that listen later, but in that case you should carefully consider whether it really, really needs to be listening to general chat on channel 0 (extra super laggy) or if it might be okay to listen on some other channel (so the chatter would specify which channel, typing "/1 on" to send "on" to a channel 1 listener). Also specified in the llListen() call is to whom the script will listen. The combination of listening for everybody's chat on channel 0 should be avoided in almost all cases. If you really, really need to do that, then you probably would want to track listen handles so as to specify the exact "on" or "off" command for which it's momentarily listening, using complementary calls to llListenControl() to switch between them.
