[Issue with light on some objects]

With advanced lighting on the number of light sources is not limited.

Projector lights don't work with alpha blend textures. Depending on distance, angle, colour, whatever you get things looking too bright or too dark or in teh wrong colour. Try point lights or alpha mask textures (which is probably not an option)

Need to add that I have switched off attached lights, so whatever you do - I will never see it - I will see you in the dark with shadows. So don't expect that everybody will see you enlighted. 😎

hehe, I was only using them for screenshots, I never wear them all the time. I'll have to get point lights

[Issue with light on some objects]

It does this even on ultra, and when there's no other light sources around (that I can see, anyway)

[Issue with light on some objects]

so last night I noticed that, for whatever reason, light (be it a face light or another object with the light feature toggled on) isn't showing at all on my head, ears, hair, and tail. This only happens when their textures are set to alpha blending, but setting them to anything else messes up the textures. If I edit the object with light enabled, THEN it shows properly on head/ears/hair/tail until I close the edit menu. It's something to do with the objects or SL because it literally stops working right at the seam between head and body. I'm including some images showing what it should look like (taken from edit mode) and what's actually happening. Anyone know whats up?

[script to change transparency for time on touch]

ah.....thank

[script to change transparency for time on touch]

I feel like this is something simple but ADHD brain isn't letting me figure it out. I want a script that will make an object (or, better, a linked object) change from 100% transparency to 0% transparency for a few seconds on touch....can anyone help?

tyvm!

[Loop help]

I've got a script for a dancer, but I'm not sure how to get it to loop back to the beginning once it plays the last sound. Can anyone help?

float SOUND_VOLUME = 1.0;               // puth here volume (1.0 = max )

integer numNames = 0;
integer playing = FALSE;
integer actNum = 0;

playSound( integer stat )
{
    if ( stat == TRUE ){
        actNum = 0;
        llPreloadSound( llGetInventoryName( INVENTORY_SOUND, actNum ) );
        playing = TRUE;
        llSetTimerEvent( 1.0 );
