[Urgent help please]

me too right above yours. i'd seen the post that it was a duplicate topic and reposted here.

[Urgent help please]

i posted this to the other discussion ... but

couldn't you do it like the dance balls in a club? when you are animated by one of those, you can move around where you want. There's an old script in the library for a dance ball, maybe you could use it: http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=LibraryDanceBall

 

not like the little pose balls that you sit on and dance, but the other ones that are often over the dance floor like a disco ball that you click and allow them to animate you while you are standing.

[Problems, Read config from Notecard, llRegionSay not heard]

thanks Rolig!! trying now

 

default{    state_entry()    {        llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");    }    touch_start(integer total_number)    {        llSay(0, "Touched.");    }}

and Innula too!

 

How do you make the code pretty like that, with the colors?

OMG! thank you so much Rolig!!! now that you explain it, i realize i have had a similar problem in a different script/different events.

thanks!!!!!

[Problems, Read config from Notecard, llRegionSay not heard]

hi!

i am doing something wrong and have been trying for hours to figure out what it is. I have two prims that i want to talk to each other, BASE and SAT. Each have a script in them and each have the same notecard in them. the notecard defines the listen channel, the object name of the BASE and the object name of the SAT. I modified scripts, which I believe I had found in the wiki, so that they were supposed to read the configs from the notecard. If either is touched, it should send a message to the other object. when either object hears a message sent to it from the other object, it should chat the message it received ... "should" that is, if i were doing it right.

It appears that both are successfully reading the notecard, as at one point i added llOwnerSay to check (now removed) and each appeared to correctly read the needed configs.

Any ideas? The notecard, SAT script, and BASE script are below:

//NOTECARD "config"
CHANNEL=93829488
SATNAME=SAT
BASENAME=BASE

 

//SAT script
//NOTECARD VARIABLES
integer line;
string ConfigurationFile = "config";
key readLineId;


integer listen_handle; 
integer listen_channel;
string base_name;


initialize()
{
    //NOTECARD INITIALIZATION
     
    // make sure the file exists and is a notecard
    if(llGetInventoryType(ConfigurationFile) != INVENTORY_NOTECARD)
    {
        // notify owner of missing file
        llOwnerSay("Missing inventory notecard: " + ConfigurationFile);
        return; // don't do anything else
    }
 
    // initialize to start reading from first line
    line = 0;
 
    // read the first line
    readLineId = llGetNotecardLine(ConfigurationFile, line++);

}

processConfiguration(string data)
{
    // if we are at the end of the file
    if(data == EOF)
    {
        // notify the owner
        llOwnerSay("We are done reading the configuration");
 
        // do not do anything else
        return;
    }
 
    // if we are not working with a blank line
    if(data != "")
    {
        // if the line does not begin with a comment

[how to tell which child prim is sat on?]

ty Rolig! i'd gotten the tip to use llAvatarOnLinkSitTarget in a scripting group, but I'd went about it in much less clean way. this much better!

[how to tell which child prim is sat on?]

is there a way to tell which child prim an av sat on? i tried a script in the child prim and used the changed event, but it gets triggered no matter which prim i sit on.
