Wanted: Scripter

[Eu4orick]

Hello there,

 

I'm looking for a quote on a script which does:

Something like a one press button/touch hud or object which opens a command menu

Can change body shape through RLV or other means? My best guess is RLV is the only method for this? It's how hot swapping clothes/accessories through clicking something on someone with wardrobes. Or how someone can have dynamic pregnancy or weight changes to the body over time.

Usually from what I know is having a group of folders which have all the shapes and links to all these various parts for these types of scripts to pull from?

 

Has a manual timer I can adjust or set to being instant or take ages in real-time. E.g. 1-1000000

+secs

Can attach or detach clothing and objects to my av through these folders. perhaps on a separate timer to the shape changes.

 

I've found all these similar things in market products just never one I could set a timer to my own preference.

 

Hopefully this makes sense to someone. I can perhaps try explain it in more detail.

Making something that attaches a series of folders in sequence isn't too hard, but making something that would change your shape in a nice way would be rather difficult without a lot of tedious fiddling on the part of the user.

// configurable variables:
string folderName = "RlvSequencer";
integer indexFolderMax = 5; // the highest numbered folder. 
// with these defaults you would need 6 folders: '#RLV/RlvSequencer/0' . . . '#RLV/RlvSequencer/5'
float timeStep = 300.0; // change to next folder ever 5 minutes.

// script-managed variables.
integer indexFolder = 0;
  
default
{
  state_entry()
  {
    llSetTimerEvent(timeStep);
    llOwnerSay("@attach:"+folderName+"/"+(string)indexFolder+"=force");
  }
  timer()
  {
    llOwnerSay("@detach:"+folderName+"/"+(string)indexFolder+"=force,"+
      "attach:"+folderName+"/"+(string)(indexFolder+1)+"=force");
    // Note: inline ++ operations are evaluated right to left; using ++indexFolder above would not have the expected result.
    ++indexFolder;
    if(indexFolder==indexFolderMax)
    {  llSetTimerEvent(0);
    }
  }
}

(untested)

If the shapes are to be 'locked on', that can actually lead to cloud-inducing bugs in RLV viewers (I have not tested RLVa viewers) if you attempt to switch from a locked on shape to another one. (https://bitbucket.org/marinekelley/rlv/issues/154/attempting-to-change-shape-while-addoutfit)

Thank you for this help, 

Urm I don't understand scripting all that well. I figured I would copy and paste what you put. It has a syntax error on line 7 where it says: 

integer indexFolder = 0;

Sorry I wouldn't know how to resolve this.

The error was a few lines above where I forgot a ';'. I edited the above post to fix that issue specifically.

Is there a way to make this script run in reverse at last folder please? Like touch a button to go one way then touch either same button or another to reverse backwards? Or just click button or menu option to enable a reverse?

Making it do xyz when you touch button abc is easy enough, but I'm a bit busy with other projects to turn the above 'proof-of-concept' into a viable product.

So my next questions to you is this :). Are too busy to get back to or till when roughly? Or would you like to be paid a fee if this has now become something in those realms? I ask because I don't know honestly where I can ask to get a job like this done on SL. My hunt for scripters seems to go nowhere most times I've tried looking about. Or I don't have the right group channels to ask in.

Merry xmas. Decent inworld groups to ask are "Scripts" and "SL Scripter's Market". Builder's brewery might also be worth an ask, but they generally encourage do-it-yourself over hiring someone.

Two people who seem to be answering a lot of posts in the inworld-employment section lately are @Biran Gould and @LoafBr3ad

mutually exclusive branches all being tested irked me so I added a hacky fix.

Thanks for remembering me @Quistess Alpha lol, @Eu4orick I've been a little busy lately, but i can help you if you need to
