[Need help with adding on/off on touch to this script please]

Ohh Xiija beated me... anyway, always be sure the curly braces are pairwise. Further no need for state changes, just handle the simple rain on/off in the touch event.

integer bRain= TRUE;

Particles( integer bState )
{
    if (bState)
    {
        llParticleSystem(

[Dynamic Lists? and keeping a count]

Yes,  and you can make it even simpler use a comma separated string "name", n - which you then add to a single list.

And most simple , if limited  low number of item to be picked up, just a comma separated string stand alone.

Another even more simple elegant solution is just to add the pickup unique name/ID to a list and count the unique pickup name/ID in the list to tell player: You picked up 6 corns, 3 apples etc.

Last the easiest way to handle count.

[Dynamic Lists? and keeping a count]

A solution would be to use a strided list, for a read up see Category:LSL List

[laptop recommendations]

Her budget allows it, with 16 GB  RAM memory she will fly and can have the viewer, browsers etc open at same time  with minimum impact.

The 1060 it self has either 3 or 6 GB VRAM.

[laptop recommendations]

Go for a NVidea GForce 1060 graphics and minimum 16 GB RAM, it is within range of your budget, see for example Newegg - notice, some of the gaming laptop are heavy.

Amazing technology to affordable prices.

[Child Prim not Moving]

Does the subroutine handling the doors ever being called?  Normally handling is done by touch or more advanced sliding doors opens by proximity or by a person standing on a trigger.

Very basic sliding right opening door sample using touch :

integer bOpen= FALSE;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        integer i;
        float d= 0.1;   // delta 10 cm
        
        bOpen= !bOpen;
        if (bOpen) d= -0.1;
        
        vector pos= llGetLocalPos();
        
        for (i=0; i<20; i++)
        {
            pos.y= pos.y+d;
            llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [PRIM_POS_LOCAL, pos]) ;          
        }
    }
}

If an Ethernet cable works and wifi doesn't, either your router or the wifi adapter in your laptop is dying. It happens mainly to much older systems but sometimes the chips on the cards get too hot and start having faults. Usually indicates by it being unable to hold a connection stable.

 

Now before writing of hardware, more simple things has to be tested first. And very simple,  using a WIFI channel on the router, where this channels are used by others - this can cripple any WIFI connection.

Same with any kind of radio signal interfering - machines, old mopeds, televisions - often a simple reorientation or the routers placement can solve this.

If the problem persists after having ruled out the simple solutions. you can be right and it is an indication of dying hardware.

[How do maps on a prim scroll?]

2 hours ago, animats said:

LSL gets to set the URL, but can't, as far as I can tell, interact with the loaded page.

Using embedded Java-scripts in the HTML string feed (<script> MyScript;</script>) should make it possible to interact with a given web page, given the web pages interactions are documented. The Linden Lab Map API is quite well documented.

I would assume, this is how most advanced map based navigation work in world. Adding face layers, we can show position or display relevant information imposed independent of the underlying dynamic map layer. By no means a trivial task to code.

[The Connecting between Real Life and Second Life]

Would make more sense having been placed in sub-fora Machinima Forum, unless...

you wrote a full video feed script in LSL.... ?

[Question re llGetLinkPrimitiveParams]

If the texture is full perm and inserted from inventory the name returned is the UUID of the texture.

If the texture has different permissions, for example NO COPY and you place the texture on a face, the texture is moved into the objects content (root) and the full name of the texture is returned.

If the texture is placed by another and not full perm NULL_KEY is returned.

[Creating Demo and Getting the Prim box scripted to attach to the head]

No, but as an attachment to be placed in a fixed position over the for example head (or spine etc), the use of bounding box measures, would be a nice solution.

I'm wondering if this demo object with the boxes isn't a rigged mesh, with the two lower boxes rigged to move with the arms.

Or it could be some clever use the avatars bounding box, placing a prim (or prims) correct to a predetermined orientation and relative position to say head, would be easy in this way.

[Did all the big hangout spots disappear?]

The LONDON CITY - Soho & Regent's Park sim always many ppl and opportunity for good conversations. Also good shows, music and as in RL London pub crawling possible.

And else based on interests participate in events and learn ppl to know - for example building, art, music, sailing etc.

 

[SALE 1024m2, 351 prims parcel - NW Sansara]

Still available - nice roadside parcel (see description above), good 1024m² parcel and tier free, if you are premium member.

Many similar roadside parcels cost 5-8000 L$, my asking price reasonable fair 2450 L$, same amount as I paid for it.

Price idea: 2,450 L$ - good value and same price as I paid for it.

Lovely roadside mountain plot at, Callisto, Northwestern Sansara. Direct road access to major parts of Sansara, beautiful mountains, snow lands, lakes, rivers. Sansara is the oldest continent and by far the place with the most interesting and has a lot to explore.

Nice friendly neighborhood, no wild structures, buildings and gardens kept in the low mountain style, quiet region and surroundings.

[sending item to all group member]

Permissions on the items set correct?

[Touch wont work once sat!]

Does it make sense to have more states in a script handling simple operations like sitting on a chair?

A simple check for NULL_KEY value of the variable gSitterId should be enough to handle all events correct.

IMHO the use of states in this case, just makes the script unnecessary complicated, where logic errors are easy to make and hard to find. And not to mention future maintenance of the script/updates.

 

[Non Physical Vehicle Script Tips]

With Mesh, though, it's trivial to make the vast majority of links in the vehicle assembly have Physics Type "None" perhaps layering in a simple transparent shell to handle all the physics. There's simply no reason to have a physics weight over 32 in modern vehicle construction.

Qie, is this the Weights of Selected->Physics: Physics weight of the selected shown in edit->advanced of an object?

[Is there an Include function in LSL?]

BTW add LSL Preprocessor, all comments get removed - I am surprised this step is necessary, as I thought the compiler server side just would ignore all comments.

So why is comments removed by the preprocessor?  Is a reminiscent from early SL? OK, the size of the text source file gets smaller, but there must be more to it.

 

[A minor vehicle issue]

As animats says, it looks like wrong set pose position, check out: Avoiding problems with Second Life vehicle poses

Follow this rule to thumb for vehicle building, if vehicle gets pushed wrong when seated and engine is running ( vehicle changes to using physics ) :

IF pose(s) are CORRECT THEN CHECK root prim

IF root prim is CORRECT THEN CHECK vehicle mesh parts bounding boxes

IF mesh is CORRECT THEN  ? ? ? make a cup of coffee, back to drawing board on how to build your vehicle.. ⛏️

As earlier recommended, the Linden Vehicle Tutorial is a must read and understand for all basic vehicle building.

 

[Multi Tab Hud]

For what it is worth, my 2 cents, to me it sounds a little like overkill to use mesh objects to create a HUD.  A HUD is basically just a view port placed on the users screen.

A more simple solution instead of using mesh, is to use a texture based single prim. If your HUD requires special shapes and an 3D illusion of depth, this can also be obtained by clever usage of textures.

The sample you refer to is - if I am not wrong - based on the default dialog box used by the viewers, where multi pages are added.  With a texture based solution there is no need for link message handling or listening to internal commands, instead  much simpler handling of the users mouse clicks.

[Giver items with Menu]

Sound life you are using a dialog box, if so the max number of characters allowed is 24 and only the first 12 letters displayed in the dialog menus.

Simple solution, shorten you item names to 24 characters, using for example llGetSubString()

Alternative find inspiration in Roolig's Dialog Choices from Numbered Buttons - where you use a notecard to assign numbers to entries.
