How to make sure visitors use shared environment?

[MasoDevotina]

So, I've set up the lights at my sim, and so far seems to work fine. However, I remember with the old Windlight using FS I was able to makle a opp up appear that asked visitors if they want to apply parcel windlight.

Is there a similar option for EEP on a private region, that asks visitors wether they want to apply shared environment?

The Experience system can sort of do that. There's llSetAgentEnvironment and llReplaceAgentEnvironment. But neither seems to allow just setting the environment to the parcel environment.

It actually wouldn't matter wether it's parcel light or region, it is the same in this specific case. It would kinda ruin the whole work put into light and environment when you can't remind visitors to change to shared environment.

I think you can do this.

llReplaceAgentEnvironment( key agent_id, float transition, string environment );

"environment" can be the asset ID (that is, the UUID) of an environment. Since it's your environment, you can find that, and then, as part of a land-scope experience, set the environment for everyone entering. But test this out. It's not clear how it works vs parcel settings, region settings, moving to a new parcel in the same region, and such.

use a visitor greeter script, which chat prompts visitors to enable EEP.  Like:

"Welcome [visitor person] ! For the best lighting experience turn on EEP.  Menu: World \ Environment \ Use Shared Environment."

they don't just ignore, they possibly just don't want to mess up their own look, as most environment setting do.
I personally always refuse change of those settings.
Photographers also often like to have clean shots, it's easier to add environmental effects in processing as removing it from taken shots.

you'd also be surprised how many people read pop ups and know quite a bit about how to access the menus. And for those that do then it won't not work

An experience running on your parcel can change their EEP.

My sim uses extensive use of an experience to provide teleportation and EEP changes. In fact, when a user enters they are informed they have to accept the experience in order travel throughout the sim. A sign that sends them a re-invite is there in case they clicked decline or missed it.
