Fox Paragorn Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I do any kind of custom scripting work.From just help to anything you want, particles, Physics, Vehicles, Boards, Menus, Animations, and even RL.Has been programming in SL for 3 year and continue to do, (with a background of programming in RL for 30 years).Nothing is too small or too big.Even teaching (but in that case I will need to ask the pay in advance by 500L / hour by IM or 1k in person. Thanks, and feel free to Im me, I will read it even if not online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo Enyo Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 We're looking for Scripters to be on the books with ElectricHost - i can't say we have ANYTHING available yet - but if someone needs something we're always looking to advance our numbers of freelancers!

TalaWolf7 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I could use some help with adding an "emit on pay" particle script to an existing tipjar script.....I know there are tipjars out there that do this, but I've found one I really like (good size, perfect rotation, easy to config) and just want to add the script to the existing script. I've searched the Library and the forums and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCanessa Oh Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 There's a money() event-handler in the tipjar script. There's a llParticleSystem() function in the particle script. Functions go in event-handlers. Sometimes scripting can be easy. ,-) Be brave, try it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalaWolf7 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Yeah, if I understood what you had typed, I might just do that. That's the problem! What goes where now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCanessa Oh Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 :-) techno-gibberish :-) I'll put it another way then - it's a single instructions copy-paste job, as long as the scripts are full perms. If they aren't full perms then you're in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalaWolf7 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Yes, I know that much. What I don't know is how to recognize the part of the script I want to take from one, and what part of the other script I should be inserting it into. I have two full permissions tip jar scripts, one has something I like (the emit on pay part) that I want to insert into the other script that I like better. I can't recognize the part I want to copy and don't know where to put it once it has been copied. That's the part I need help with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCanessa Oh Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Ooooh, cool, I thought you meant you didn't understand a single word so weren't going to try. Good for you that you are :-) Have a look at the 'emit' script. Somewhere in there will be a line that starts "llParticleSystem(". followed by several "PSYS_..." instructions. That is the function to emit particles. It probably goes over several lines (particles are complex things) and it finishes with ");" That is the instruction - "llParticleSystem( .... );" that you need to copy. Now it's time to look for money() - which is always a good thing :-) In the script that you want to put the particle instruction into look for a line that starts "money(". That line tells the script "I've just been paid" and should be pretty short. The instructions that follow after a "{" are "what to do when you get paid". After the "{" is where you need to paste the instruction you copied from the other script. And that's (more or less) it. It's possible the particles won't turn off though! In which case ... After the 'llParticleSyatem( ... );' instruction add a new line with how long you want the particles to keep going - like this for 2.0 seconds "llSetTimerEvent(2.0);". Just before the last "}" right at the end of the script add new lines: timer(){ llParticleSystem([]);} (Collectively that says "make the timer go off in 2.0 seconds" and "when the timer goes off, turn off particles") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalaWolf7 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thank you! I am a "hands on" kinda girl and just nerdy enough to experiment with scripts a little. What you've given me should help me figure it out! I'll let you know if I'm successful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCanessa Oh Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Excellent :-) SL is nothing if not a good place to experiment and find new creative forms :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalaWolf7 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Unfortunately, no luck. I'm still not understanding how much to extract from one code and exactly where to insert it in the other code. Thanks for you help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCanessa Oh Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Send me a PM (start with the envelope by your name at the top of this page) containing both scripts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
