If you want your object to respond only to chat commands, you can eliminate the makeMenu function, but only after moving the lines that start listening for your chat. Those two lines are: menuChan = 7; //(or whatever channel number you choose) handle = llListen(menuChan,"",llGetOwner(),""); Move those two lines to inside the if(scanLinkSet) section of state_entry(), right after the //llOwnerSay("resizer script ready"); line, so they will start the script listening right away. Once you've moved those two lines you should be able to remove the makeMenu function and the touch_start event handler.

Hi Napili, The script is already listening for commands from the menu, so you can chat to it. The only problem is that the makeMenu function assigns a random chat channel for the menu handler. If you replace the menuChan assignment with a constant, you can then chat on that channel and give the same commands as the menu. For example, to send commands on channel seven, you'd change... menuChan = 50000 + (integer)llFrand(50000.00); to menuChan = 7; Typing /7 MIN SIZE in the chat window would then cause the object to scale itself to minimum size.

3-13-2013 Time lapse analysis of video from the Vatican's Chimney Cam reveals that the Catholic cardinals sequestered in the Sistine Chapel for the purpose of electing a new Pope have been sending messages via morse coded smoke signals. Local Ham radio operators have decoded the following messages... 12:06 - 12:12 AM "We be jammin' !" 12:15 - 12:31 AM "Dolan is rollin' " 01:06 - 01:56 AM "TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!". 02:04 - 02:08 AM "#$%^& ". 02:15 - 02:29 AM "Ranjith snores like a girl". 03:18 - 03:26 AM "Call me maybe?" 03:44 - 04:19 AM "Beer and Merlot... no no!" 05:06 - 05:17 AM "Brady pinched me! " Meanwhile, revelers in St. Peter's Square played eucher while eating tiny tacos made from from communion hosts.

Welcome to the Forums, King (I hope King is okay ;-), I don't think this problem is necessarily Mac related. She may find a solution here... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/When-i-want-to-login-in-sl-i-get-this-message-quot-DSN-could-not/qaq-p/1423359 Without knowing just how she connects to the internet, I can't offer instructions for making the DNS server changes. Hopefully she knows how to do that. Good luck, keep us posted!

Welcome to the forums, Lover. It sounds like you are wearing the demo version of the hair. Demos often have floating boxes attached so that people won't be temped to just wear the demo all the time. If you purchased the hair, make sure you are wearing the purchased item and not the demo. Most demos are clearly marked with "DEMO" in the item description. If the box is actually attached to your right hand (the default position for attaching things that don't specify an attachment point) then it's likely that your hair was packed in a box by the creator. If that's the case, detach the box, select it in inventory and drag it to the ground in an area that allows rezzing. Right click the box and select "Open" then copy the boxes contents to your inventory. You should then find the hair there, where you can select it and wear it. Goodl luck!

In either case, one must be careful if it's expected that the linkset may be rotated off the z-axis. In such cases, the rotating child prims will continue to rotate on their original axes. In these cases, it becomes necessary to query the linkset's orientation on rezzing, passing that vector to the llTargetOmega call, so that the child prims rotate correctly. Unfortunately, I don't have an example of this, but I'm sure someone will come along shortly to provide one.

3-12-2013 Moments after the Catholic College of Cardinals filed into the Sistine Chapel, Italians in nearby homes began experiencing interference on their radios and television sets. Ham radio operators traced the interference to jamming devices placed around the chapel. Vatican sources explained "Jamming devices have been put in place to stop the cardinal-electors from communicating with the outside world using mobile phones or other devices." 3-12-2013 Rome Police notice a sudden and unexplained drop in reports of sexting. 3-12-2013 Clouds of black smoke descend on tailgaters in Saint Peter's Square. Shortly thereafter, reports surface of singing and dancing in the square by nearly naked people wielding bags of Doritos.

Most of this is greek to me, but I get the same feeling I had when developing software for medical instruments, where I'd get some library of routines from a company, complete with source code. Even though I was ostensibly the developer of the final software, I'd have to figure out how some of it worked by observation. I spent countless hours in support forums, scratching my head along with other users, trying to figure out what was happening. The folks at the vendor company were often of little use as the support personnel were not those who'd written the code. Those original authors were often long gone, or had never been there in the first place. ;-) Some things never change?

I'm glad you like puzzles, and that you questioned your own advice. Too few people do that! That the physics weights are so nutty tells me that nobody really understands how they're computed. Is Falcon Linden aware of your observations? If so, and if there's been no reasonable explanation of your observations, wouldn't it be safe to say he knows far less than infinitely more about this than you do? ;-)

Hiya Drongle, Because I had nothing better to do at the moment, I went through all four of your Episodes. I have few questions: 1) Are you nuts? 2) Do you get the feeling that the wiki (which I have not read) was written by someone who knows less about how mesh and physics weights work than you do? 3) Do you worry that, if you do discover the underlying method to this apparent madness, it will change tomorrow? The sensitivities you've discovered (to small displacements, initial orientations, etc) don't reveal any underlying root cause to me. Rather, they suggest that the code is riddled with boundary conditions. When I've encountered behavior like this in the past (in signal processing systems) I've often tossed the code and found something else. That's obviously not a solution here, but the results of your experimenation don't leave me feeling very hopeful.

Yep. I live on a beautiful public sim (Forgotten City) so I expect and encourage people to explore it. At least a couple of the folks on my friends list are people I found sitting on my sofa when I logged in. It's an amusing way to meet. It's been a very rare occasion that someone was less than gracious, forcing me to hoist my sofa to the ceiling.

Welcome to the forums, Mr. Oxygen! While you will get sensible answers from others here, you can depend on me for nonsense. Although I do have ban rights on the sim where I live, I can barely remember how to invoke them (though Codewarrior's explanation is so simple that I'm blushing over not knowing it). So, when I come home to find people lounging in my living room, I flip my sofa over and hang it from the ceiling. I'd love to tell you that this method immediately causes the visitors to leave, but in the case shown here it didn't. It was amusing to me, so I'll still call it a win...

Welcome aboard, Betty! If you are asking about what to do with your avatar each day when you log out, it's truly a matter of personal preference. During my first week in SL, I looked for unoccupied places to "park" myself when logging out. I didn't do this because I thought my avatar would remain standing where I left her, being gawked at by others, but because I didn't want to log-in the next time possibly in the middle of a populated area. I was doing my part to maintain a reality in which people don't just appear out of thin air. I eventually found a barge floating in a canal somewhere. For the next month or so, I logged in and out and changed clothing on the bottom of that canal, under the barge. I still smile over that. So, if you want to enter and exit SL as inobtrusively as possible, I'd move to an out of the way spot before logging-out. As you become more comfortable here and make friends, I'm sure you'll find suitable "home bases" out of which to operate. Perhaps you'll eventually get a home of your own and use that as your portal between SL and RL. We all faced this question upon entering SL and we all found different answers. However you do it, I hope you have fun! Maddy

Forgotten City is the beautiful joint effort of Jenne Debou and Mandy Marseille. I've lived there for two years and still haven't seen all the secrets. It's well worth exploring.

Thank you, Trinity. I should have mentioned that all of those photographs are from my home sim of Forgotten City.

I don't think the flats have invisiprims, but the pumps I just put on do. I got them years ago and I don't know if they've been updated.

Minke Bailey's MB-CreationZ has cute flats and lower heels. I sent you a landmark in-world.

3-8-2115 The last e-book publisher closes its doors after rising global temperatures make it too hot to operate sensitive electronic e-readers. As stringent environmental regulations and the scarcity of pulpwood make the use of paper untenable, books must be passed from person to person orally. The first book to be memorized by a member of Google's crowd sourced "Project Bradbury" is Bradbury's nearly prescient tome "Fahrenheit 451".
