It's worse than that, he's dead Jim Temp on rez lasts UP TO a minute, 'til the sim runs garbage-collection again. That means it could be gone within a few seconds :-)

Nice one Ishy, I get fed up being the only person pointing out the RL options. One more point - even if the logo is not a registered trademark it will be protected under copyright laws - if theirs is an exact copy and not just 'like' yours. Nothing simple you can do about an unregistered name though.

It will as it is, but it's not a huge change. I didn't realise it was a sculpted head as well, thought it was a transparent sphere for them to click on. ... Correcting to head (root prim)- and, if chosen, tongue are opaque, other prims are transparent. integer Listener;CloseListen(){ llSetTimerEvent(0.0); if(Listener){ llListenRemove(Listener); Listener = 0; }}default{ listen(integer ChannelIn, string FromName, key FromID, string Message){ // Make everything transparent except the chosen prim CloseListen(); llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN, 0.0, ALL_SIDES); if("<None>" != Message){ llSetLinkAlpha(1 + (integer) Message, 1.0, ALL_SIDES); } } timer(){ CloseListen(); llOwnerSay("Menu timed-out, click again to reactivate it"); } touch_end(integer HowMany){ // Display menu if touched by owner if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()){ CloseListen(); integer ChannelMenu = -(integer) (llFrand(999999999.99) + 1); Listener = llListen(ChannelMenu, "", llGetOwner(), ""); llDialog(llGetOwner(), "Please select the tongue to display", ["4", "5", "<None>", "1", "2", "3"], ChannelMenu); llSetTimerEvent(30.0); } }} (The only change is that the line "llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);" - that is, make everything transparent - has changed to "llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_ALL_CHILDREN, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);" - don't change the root prim.

I'm cracking up. Computer problems this end, can't get in-world, it's doing my head in

This script assumes the whole attachment (head + 5 tongues) is meant to be transparent, except when a tongue is selected. It also assumes that the head is the root prim and the 5 tongues are child-prims nos. 2 - 6 (iel make sure any other prims in the object are higher link-numbers). Put this script in the head (root prim) for it to work. integer Listener;CloseListen(){ llSetTimerEvent(0.0); if(Listener){ llListenRemove(Listener); Listener = 0; }}default{ listen(integer ChannelIn, string FromName, key FromID, string Message){ // Make everything transparent except the chosen prim CloseListen(); llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 0.0, ALL_SIDES); if("<None>" != Message){ llSetLinkAlpha(1 + (integer) Message, 1.0, ALL_SIDES); } } timer(){ CloseListen(); llOwnerSay("Menu timed-out, click again to reactivate it"); } touch_end(integer HowMany){ // Display menu if touched by owner if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()){ CloseListen(); integer ChannelMenu = -(integer) (llFrand(999999999.99) + 1); Listener = llListen(ChannelMenu, "", llGetOwner(), ""); llDialog(llGetOwner(), "Please select the tongue to display", ["4", "5", "<None>", "1", "2", "3"], ChannelMenu); llSetTimerEvent(30.0); } }}

What hunt? What places? Why should I post pics? Why's it my responsibility to put anything on a notecard? What guys are you talking about? This is a resident's forum, after all, not a means of communicating with Linden Lab

*Shriek* (of joy) new treasure! Thanks for the heads-up

Please see my reply in the Wanted forum

Where does the opacity come in? Do you mean all but the chosen tongue - if any - should be made transparent, leaving just one/none showing? Assuming that's the case this is very simple if the tongues are each one prim and all linked. Alternatively it is simple if you have one tongue and want the sculpt-map for it changed on selection. Free is quite possible if you'd like to give me more details. I'll post the script back here.

By buying it with RL money By doing something in SL that other people pay for By making something in SL that other people pay for So buy it, do it or make it. It's up to you :-)

Meanwhile - LL supports our virtual world so much: Marketplace "Dash Deals" will be communicated by Twitter and Facebook. SO NO F**KING OPTION FOR PEOPLE IN SECOND LIFE THEN LINDENS? Would a MOTD on marketplace login be so hard, for instance? What, particularly, is the obsession with NOT using SL for communications?

Love viewer 2. 4 year old computer with no bells or whistles. V2 is such a cleaner interface and so easy to build with when everything else is kept tidily out of the way. First release was a shock and a bit of a pain but the fixes LL implemented in the next couple of weeks sorted out all the biggies. I never crash, menus make more sense, almost all the screen is world-view instead of clutter, keyboard-shortcuts are smooth. Some are capable of adapting, some aren't. What amazes me is that those that can't change are still so vocal about clunky old V1. Lol - there's probably one thing everyone can agree on though: M was an absolute disaster for SL and, probably LL. That's what you get when you hire management-consultants instead of a managers. (R hasn't made any big impact changes yet like spending all the money on a new viewer or sacking a third of the employees but the 'atmosphere' seems better to me - a bit of direction coming back)

Don't get a job - it's a time commitment that makes SL work instead of play. Explore, learn and meet people. Later you might find there's something you want to spend your time doing, for salary or otherwise, but until then there are huge numbers of freebies, free classes, etc. The only thing you can't get for free in SL is your own home, so don't make the financial commitment of renting one until you know why you'll be staying here.

Why would you want to make a commitment to spend your time working, instead of having fun, exploring and meeting people? If you don't know then the chances are you won't stay in SL long. If you can't make a fixed commitment the chances are people won't want to employ you. Really - don't make financial commitments (like renting a home) then you don't need to add time commitments to pay for them. That leaves you time to explore, learn and meet. NCI, Caledon Oxbridge and other places all run free classes on how to do everything in SL, including thriving on freebies and how to win (quite a lot of) money in newbie competitions.

Just a few points ot make sure they are clear: Scripts have the lowest priority for processing, verything else gets its allocation first . That means scripts can only lag each other, if you can't move around it's more likely to be downloading or physics that's slowing things down. [Except for bugs in SL, not the scripts] LL have said script-limits are coming, but they're based on memory-allocation to stop the servers being over-loaded. Having a large number of scripts means nothing about how active they are. A single script such as an AO with a fast timer will be taking-up WAY more processing time than any number of others that are just waiting for a touch, or such like.

It's interesting, isn't it, the number of people who assume things are done by script that are really done by animation? I mean scripts animate objects, animations ... er ... animate avatars = pretty archane distinction. Any ideas how to make that clear(er) to people?

Void Singer wrote: ... attachments are phantom, that means they don't collide with anything themselves... Yeah, I was trying to be gentle when I said "attachments don't collide, the avatar wearing them might, but not too reliably". People - this is annoying! It sounds like the OP has done a lot of good work unfortunately based on the wrong idea of how SL worls. I can't think of an easy salvage solution - it does come down to inter-avatar/attachment chat to decide who hit whom - but I feel I must be wrong in that. Sympathies, if nothing else :-(

Peewee will be along soon to paste the billing-department's phone numbers, There are just so many people that would 'love' to talk to LL that he keeps it ready. Thing is - that makes you one amongst thousands. I keep suggesting to people; write them a letter. Yes, it's slow(er) to get there but, no, it won't take longer to answer by previous standards. The physical fact of a letter can make mch more impression than a hundred emails. [Any big organisation knows the bit of paper you can wave around 'proves' whatever point you want to make, over any number of e-results on the bottom line]

Just as a matter of curiosity - why would you want to? [i would never have dreamt of asking if something I can easily do in-world were possible outside but appreciate there might be good reasons, I'm genuinely interested]

Could it be that you're using a huge, bold font and only see a part of the display? Try using a smaller one so that you can see the pop-up that asks if you want the item being offered,

If you are outside the USA, however, then the current plans look 'limited', to say the least. Yes - you'd probably have to sue. No, you don't have much chance of success because the TOS that we all signed-up to says LL can do whatever they like, more or less, including withdrawing the service (SL itself) NB: This is a residents' forum. not a means of communicating with LL. Write them a letter - it'll help their postman's fitness regime :-)

Caledon walkthrough is an exemplar of how things should be done. Caledon, NCI (TP to Kuula sim) and several others provide all the help and frebies you could dream of. [Or - if you dream of more - they'll love he new idea. It's only LL that makes it hard to start]

You are asking about a specific thing you bought without giving us any clues as to what it might be. There are many ways such things could be altered - how are we meant to guess which applies to yours?
