Resetting seats is not working in my script

Thanks arton Rotaru

Your welcome!

I would like to know why it is so important that this has to be done in a linkset? It would be soooo much easier to make a rope climber with a rezzer and separate prims.
10 years ago I made a ladder climber for a friend. It uses a transparent prim (with click action sit) at the top and one at the bottom. Which covers a portion of the ladder at each end.

So when the cursor is on the lower end of the ladder, click and sit on that prim. The top prim will delete itself, so nobody can climb down.
The prim then plays a climb anim, and moves to the top with KeyFramedMotion. Nice and smooth.
while climbing up, a second prim will be rezzed at the bottom.
When nobody is climbing anymore, it rezzes a prim at the top again. And vice versa.

If this is restriced to 5 climbers, it requires 6 prims at most. 5 climbers plus the rezzer.
3 prims will be permanently rezzed. 2 seats + rezzer. So it requires only 3 more free prims available if really 5 people are climbing this at once.

Well its still not finding the next seat at the bottom and only finds top one with two on it te second seat does not appear to be created stangely

[VirtualKitten]

then how do 1 prim seats work please note this 

My script still does not create extra seat .

if(llAvatarOnLinkSitTarget(bottom_seat)== agent) {
                  seat ="bottom";
                  SEATS_data = llJsonSetValue(SEATS_data,["seat"+(string) i,"loc"],seat);
                  // PRIM_SIT_TARGET returns  a list. [integer status, vector pos, rotation rot].
                  quaternion v = (quaternion)llList2String( llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(j, [PRIM_SIT_TARGET,j, PRIM_SIT_TARGET]),1);
                  SEATS_data = llJsonSetValue(SEATS_data,["seat"+(string) i,"vloc"],(string)v);
                  quaternion  current_seat =(quaternion) llList2String( llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(bottom_seat, [PRIM_SIT_TARGET,j, PRIM_SIT_TARGET]),1);
                  //llOwnerSay("current_seat:"+(string)current_seat);
                  llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(bottom_seat,[ PRIM_SIT_TARGET, TRUE,_getFreeSeat(seats_pos_bottom,agent),(quaternion)current_seat ]);
               
                  if(find_anyone_up_or_down( agent,"top") == NULL_KEY) {
                     llUnSit(agent);
                     llSay(0, "There are other forest folk comming down the rope please wait for them before climbing the rope , then please try again.");
                     return;
                  }
              }

I am wondering if I have to create the seats first as it wont do it on the fly

i now have this

in your script, you have a set of linked prims and a set of linked agents. Where each prim is associated with a respective agent

with a single script multi-climber rope. we don't need both. We only need to manipulate/move the set of linked agents

[VirtualKitten]

I tried

 default
{
    state_entry()
    {     
       integer num_seats = 3;


       list seats_pos_bottom = [<-0.20,0.0,0.01>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.05>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.09>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.13>,"key",<0.00,0.0,0.05>,"key"];
       list seats_pos_top= [<-0.20,0.0,0.01>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.05>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.09>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.13>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.05>,"key"]; 
       integer ic = num_seats;
        for(;ic--;) {
            llLinkSitTarget(bottom_seat,llList2Vector(seats_pos_bottom,(num_seats-ic)),ZERO_ROTATION);
        }
        ic = num_seats;
        for(;ic--;) {
            llLinkSitTarget(top_seat,llList2Vector(seats_pos_top,(num_seats-ic)),ZERO_ROTATION);
        }

But got the usual crappy SL statement "No room to sit here, Try another spot" Sighs this doesn't even allow it to have one sit

I think the only way to do this is to create eight extra prims one for each seat which is really wasteful .

I tried

Every linked 'object' (prim or mesh) can have one sit target, and they're relative to the location of that object, not the root prim. Prims can be weird in that multiple people can ~sometimes sit on them if they have no sittarget defined, but that's inconsistent and can be frustrating for users.

you can use the prims already in the seat, or add a big invisible box around your thing with no sit targets defined anywhere and try to mess around with SL being weird and buggy.

[VirtualKitten]

I have a huge sit area Quistess Alpha thank you for joining us its dimensions t each end are 3m long  x 0.38587 x 0.38587

Hehe, I also posted in that ancient thread. 😇

While it's possible to sit more than one AV on a prim, it's still trying to "mess around with SL being weird and buggy", as Tessa put it.

That's why I would do it with single, unlinked prims, as I have described above.

the y and z dimension probably need to be at least 0.5, if not bigger.

[VirtualKitten]

So basically I am now wasting 20 land impact instead of three

[VirtualKitten]

Quintess I am using 

list seats_pos_bottom = [<-0.20,0.0,0.01>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.5>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,1.0>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,1.5>,"key",<0.00,0.0,0.05>,"key"];
list seats_pos_top= [<-0.20,0.0,0.01>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.5>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,1.0>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,1.5>,"key",<-0.20,0.0,0.05>,"key"];

Got the same crappy message as before

[Quistess Alpha]

FWIW, I did a few expiraments. If you want to break SL into allowing as many sitters on a single prim as possible with the least amount of weirdness, you might want to try a cylinder turned on its side, making sure it has no sit target set.

cylinder works good as a rope

[VirtualKitten]

This is getting worse i made six  seats at each end 12 in total SL only recognizes  seven 7? but have got it finding ten now had enough for today have fun

It's always worth looking at the bounding boxes display and the physics display in these sorts of puzzles. When I was helping somebody who was struggling to get through a doorway we looked at the bounding box of her RuthToo mesh body and saw that in addition to the tall cube enclosing the torso and legs, there was an extra bounding box across the body from side to side that enclosed where the arms would be if the body was in a T-pose animation, well over double the width of the torso bounding box.

If you are trying to sit an additional avatar on a single multi-seat prim and the spot that they are clicking on or the intended seat offset is within the bounding box of an already seated avatar, you might get the "no room to sit" message. Similarly, if the physics shape of a nearby object falls partially across the seating area, you may also get a failure to sit.

Wulfie gave a very detailed explanation of why you can and can't sit on things ages ago, when I believe a piano stool was giving problems. From my own observations, the issue there was that the physics shape of a skybox garden occluded part of the piano seat.

Regarding adding 8 individual prims for seats, why not do so but set them to convex hull? You might then only incur a 4LI overhead?

Why is this only registering six seats please?

rope = 1;
       llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(rope,[ PRIM_SIT_TARGET, FALSE, ZERO_VECTOR,ZERO_ROTATION ]);
       integer ih= 6;
       for(;ih--;) {
          // llOwnerSay("line:"+(string)"top_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1));
             new_seats = new_seats + check_for_prim("bottom_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1)); 
             new_seats_key =   new_seats_key + llName2Key("bottom_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1)); 
             llLinkSitTarget(_llObtainLinkFromName("bottom_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1)),llList2Vector(seats_pos_bottom,(num_seats-ih)),ZERO_ROTATION);
       }
       ih= 6;
       for(;ih--;) {
          // llOwnerSay("line:"+(string)"top_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1));
             new_seats = new_seats + check_for_prim("top_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1));

[VirtualKitten]

HI according to LSL there was a control character in the initial seat lower 4 however now have them all now, however I am using 

 list p_new_seat=[];
               integer ig=llGetNumberOfPrims();
               integer to=ig;
               for(;ig--;) {
                   llOwnerSay("Seat:"+(string)(to-ig));
                 p_new_seat + llAvatarOnLinkSitTarget(llList2Integer(new_seats,(to-ig)));
               }

To determine if  seat is used it provides no entries can anyone explain why this is not working please?

 

I also registering all 

      rope = 1;
       llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(rope,[ PRIM_SIT_TARGET, FALSE, ZERO_VECTOR,ZERO_ROTATION ]);
      
       integer ih= 6;
       for(;ih--;) {
             new_seats = new_seats + check_for_prim("bottom_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1)); 
             llLinkSitTarget(_llObtainLinkFromName("bottom_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1)),llList2Vector(seats_pos_bottom,(6-ih-1)),ZERO_ROTATION);
       } 
       ih= 6;
       for(;ih--;) {
             new_seats = new_seats + check_for_prim("top_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1)); 
             llLinkSitTarget(_llObtainLinkFromName("top_seat#"+(string)(6-ih-1)),llList2Vector(seats_pos_top,(6-ih-1)),ZERO_ROTATION);  
       } 
       llOwnerSay("Seats:"+llDumpList2String(new_seats,","));

As you can see from output,

[09:52] VK  [6 seats]: Resetting
[09:52] VK [6 seats]: Seats:6,8,9,7,5,4,11,13,14,12,10,2

The program 2nd code snippet at post 1 only gives back :

Why are these different?
