Object when Hidden is not 'Touchable', and when Shown is 'Touchable'

[satyajitdas20]

Hi,

I have a situation where I have a furniture (or any other created object) and added the scripts (modifiable) which works in the following way:

If i type channel number and 'Hide' (which i have set manually inside the script) the object hides, and if i again type the same channel number and 'Show', it is visible again.

But the point is, even after it is hidden, it is 'touchable' and brings up the menu of the furniture. What it should ideally do is, if it is hidden, it cant be touched at all so that no one knows it is there. (Unless they use Ctrl+Alt+T). And same way it should be again 'touchable' when it is visible. 

Is there is script (script lines) for that which can be added inside the Show/Hide script which is modifiable. 

Thanks in advance.

Possibly llSetClickAction() toggling between CLICK_ACTION_DISABLED and CLICK_ACTION_NONE will help.

Another option is to jump between states that have a touch handler (when showing) and don't have one (when hiding), which would mean opening the listener again at entry into either state.

Also, I've noticed that different viewers seem to treat PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_MASK differently; in some, the mouse pointer (inconsistently?) hides touchability on sub-threshold masked alpha surfaces although touches may be intercepted anyway.

If any of the child prims have a script which actions a touch event these will still respond to a touch even though you have set the root prim to ignore clicks., you might need to ensure that link messages go to all child scripts to disable or enable touches.

Yes, thanks @Qie Niangao the llSetClickAction() worked like a charm.

@Profaitchikenz Haiku I had to do it in all the child prims as they all had scripts with touch action. Luckily there were only 2, so it took 2 mins to do it. 

 

Thanks a lot for the help.
