  1. You're right, of course. As soon as you sit on that child prim, you become a child of the root as well, and you won't spin. We don't have heirarchical linking in SL, so there's no such thing as the child of a child.
  2. llTargetOmega applies an apparent rotation to the prim that it is in and to any child prims, so if you put your script in the root prim, the entire object will spin. If you put the script in a child prim, only the child prim will spin. As you have discovered, you cannot chain instances of llTargetOmega to do what you want. The only solution is to do a stepwise rotation of the object, using llSetRotation or related functions, and then put your llTargetOmega script in the child prims that are your seats.
  3. I haven't seen many Money Trees in SL for a long time, but they always used to work only for newbie residents (less than 30 days old). They may have also required you to have payment information on file --- I can't remember now --- although that may have been at the option of whoever set the Tree up. In any case, you can add payment information to your account at secondlife.com >> Account >> Billing Information . You can't do anything about your age in SL, though.

  5. We can't help you here, because we are all SL residents like you. To get a record of the individual items in your order, open Marketplace and click the My Marketplace menu at the top of the page. Select My Account >> Order History from the pulldown menu. If you STILL haven't heard from the merchants in another day or two, file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ , selecting Marketplace from the pulldown menu.
  6. A region restart won't affect anything that is in your inventory, alhough there's a very slim chance that if you were on the sim during the restart, it might have messed up your cached copy of inventory as you crashed. If your cached copy was borked, the solution is to delete it manually from outside SL and then build a new copy. 1. Open Preferences → Network & Cache 2. Go to the first path “Cache Location” and click the “Open” button behind the path. This will open a file explorer window displaying your current cache location. 3. Logout (close the viewer) and then delete everything inside the cache folder displayed in your file explorer. Now continue as follows: 1.Log back into SL, to a quiet region (try Smith or Pooley). On your inventory window, click “Recent Items”. 2.Wait for your inventory to repopulate fully. The process may be sped up, if necessary, by typing random letters into the search bar. 3.While inventory repopulates, do not teleport anywhere, and do not attempt to access anything in your inventory. Talk to people or surf the web, or just go out for coffee 4.Watch as it repopulates. As long as you can see (Fetched…) at the top of the inventory window, it is still loading. 5.Once inventory has repopulated, log out of SL once more, then log back in. Now, if you really meant that the items disappeared from your sim during a restart, not from your inventory, that's rare, but it does happen. If that's the problem, you'll have to act fast. Your sim's owner can request a rollback of the sim to a previous date, but that's only possible for a limited time -- a matter of a couple of days.

  8. I haven't figured out what tags are good for yet, so I ignore them.
  9. The bird probably belongs to one of your neighbors. He either doesn't know how to set its range properly, or doesn't care. Next time the bird flies through, catch it. (Open your Edit tool with CTRL + 3 and select the bird as it flies through. It will stop in mid-flight.) Look on the General page of your Edit window to see who the owner is. Make a note to go talk to him about it (or just send him an IM). Then Right click on the bird and select More >> Return to send the bird back to its owner.
  10. It can sometimes take anywhere from a few minutes to a day or more for your items to be delivered, especially if the merchant's Magic Box is temporarily out of service or the sim it's on is offline. Not that it helps now, but to remember for the future: (1) Don't overuse the shopping cart. It is easily confused if you put more than a couple of things in it. (2) Don't buy things from Marketplace (especially LOTS of things) unless you are in world to receive them at the time. We each have an "in box" that holds IMs, notecards, group notices, group invitations, and anything that is delivered to us if we aren't in world at the time. That "in box" can only hold 25 things, total. If anything else comes in, it isn't saved. It is gone ... poof .... forever. If you have a mess of things delivered from Marketplace and half your friends send you notecards, that in box will be capped and you will never know what happened. So, what do you do now? ....... To get a record of the individual items in your order, open Marketplace and click the My Marketplace menu at the top of the page. Select My Account >> Order History from the pulldown menu. If you do not receive items within about 24 hours, you should cut and paste the information about a missing item from that Order History and send it in a IM or notecard to the merchant, along with a polite message requesting redelivery. Most merchants are very kind and willing to redeliver. This happens all the time and they are aware of it. Do be patient, though. Not everyone logs in to SL every day or checks their e-mail. If you still haven't heard in another day or two, follow it up with a second polite note and finally, if you STILL haven't heard, file a support ticket at https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/ , selecting Marketplace from the pulldown menu.
  11. See >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Library/Make-your-own-Megaprims/td-p/1063745
  12. That script should be fairly easy for you to write. The online status information is retrieved with the llRequestAgentData function, using the parameter DATA_ONLINE. The thing to do is to put that function into a timer event that calls it every minute or so. The function itself triggers a dataserver event, in which you put whatever commands you need for changing a texture on your sign, changing the color of a prim, or whatever. You can see how a script might be structured by studying the example at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Daemonika_Nightfire/Scripts/DS_Display-Username_Online_Indicator
  13. Yes. You can apply your 512 sq m land allowance to the purchase of land on the Mainland and then build your own house on it if you wish. The big advantage of having a Linden Home is that the house itself does not count toward the 117 prim allowance on that land. If you build your own house instead, it will count against the parcel's total but, of course, it will be a house of your own choice on land that you have chosen.

  14. Nope. I don't follow anyone and I don't care to have anyone following me. That's my profile. I don't want other people mucking about in it, and I don't truly care what other people have in their feeds. I haven't figured out what Trends are either. The little bit of explanation I've seen doesn't make any sense to me, so I can't imagine why I should want them. No, I don't use twitface either.
  15. If you have not received an e-mail from LL telling you that you have been banned or had your account placed on hold (check your spam filter to be sure), then there's a very good possibility that it's just your router acting up. Unplug it from the power for a few minutes while you go make yourself a sandwich. When you plug it back in, the router will reboot itself and get a fresh grasp on an IP address. That's often all it takes. If that doesn't work, come back here and update your question by clicking on the Options link in its upper right corner and selecting EDIT.
  16. That's a good question. Remember, though, that it's not just IMs that count. The cap includes any notecards, group messages, group invitations, or items that you bought or were given while you were not in world to receive them. I am always amazed by how many pointless group messages I get in a day. Also, IMs still count against the cap even when you have had them forwarded to e-mail.
  17. Don't expect to get a "messages capped" message. If they are capped, they're capped and you'll never know. Because that's always a possibility, it's wise to order items from Marketplace only when you are in world to receive them. The transaction history in Marketplace simply records that they sent a delivery command to the merchant's Magic Box. Marketplace has no way of knowing that the Magic Box couldn't deliver or that you couldn't receive. It's a dumb system, but it's what we've got until they finally release the Direct Delivery system.
  18. There are few "rules" in this business except consistency and readability. In general, it's easier to keep track of blocks of code that belong together if you indent each new level of code by 4 spaces. Beyond that, you'll get disagreement about how much white space to create (I like a lot, so I can see what's going on) and where to put the curly bracket that opens each new scope (I always start on a fresh line). I also add comments at critical spots, especially if I am writing a script for a client, but even if they are just for me. It's amazing how quickly I forget just why I wrote code in a specific way. Whatever style you choose, stick with it. You'll have fewer problems recognizing the common, embarrasing mistakes that we all make.
  19. You've almost got it. Just missing one bracket. I think your problem is basically that you weren't careful to format the script cleanly. If you are always obsessive about indenting each script element with a new scope (like me :smileytongue: ), it will be easier to see where you need brackets, and to count them. Here's a clean version...... list textures = ["123"]; // This list contains the name of one texture, called "123"integer textures_number;integer current_index;default{ state_entry() { textures_number = llGetListLength(textures); } touch_start(integer detected_number) { if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()) { llSetTexture(llList2String(textures,current_index),0); if(++current_index >= textures_number) { current_index = 0; } } } // You were missing this bracket to close the touch_start event} Notice that as you wrote it, the list called textures only has one element, so there won't be much texture switching going on until you lengthen that list. If you're interested, you can compress this script a little by changing the middle of the touch_start event .... if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()) { llSetTexture(llList2String(textures,(++current_index)%textures_number),0); } ETA: Ah... no. Sorry. I miscounted them myself. :=/ I was thrown off by the fact that you didn't put brackets around the scope of your innermost if condition. ALWAYS put brackets around every scope. So, as we both pointed out, the reason there's no changing happening is that you only have one texture in the list.
  20. Well, they can't take your group name, because LL does not allow duplication of group names, so you're safe there. As far as the store name goes, I wouldn't worrry much about that myself, unless both of you are on the same sim. I can't begin to imagine how many businesses in RL have the same name. Besides, unless you have trademarked the name in RL, I doubt that there's much you can do to prevent someone else from using it anyway.
  21. In any of the viewers, type CTRL + Shift + Alt + N to toggle the Beacons window open. Then select the specific type of item you want to locate and the style of beacon.
  22. If you are receiving an error when starting the Second Life viewer that says your graphics card is unsupported or your graphics drivers are out of date and you know that your card meets the system requirements, than this procedure will most often correct the problem. Usually this message appears when you have upgraded from a previous version of Windows, or when a Windows Update conflicts with an installed graphics driver. It can also mean that Windows Update has installed a graphics driver for you that does not have full support for SecondLife or that your graphics driver is not Windows certified. Download the latest graphics driver from the chipset manufacturer (ATI, Nvidia, or Intel) not the maker of your graphics card or computer. Save the file where you can easily find it, but do not install it yet. Run Windows Update and make sure your system is fully patched. (Optional) You may download Driver Sweeper or a similar utility to remove all traces of your old driver. Reboot your computer and enter Safe Mode by pressing F8 at the Windows logo screen. Uninstall your old video driver. You can either use Driver Sweeper or Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager (steps will vary: this applies to Windows XP) and then opening "Display Adapters" and right-click and choose "Uninstall." Reboot your computer. If Windows displays a message that it found new hardware, do not let it automatically install drivers. Instead, run the installation program that you downloaded in step 1. Reboot your computer You should now have a clean version of your video driver.
  23. If you look at all of the other posts in this old thread, you'll see that they were posted on the same day and that they hadn't read the Grid Status note that told everyone the servers were having problems that day. Your problem today is totally different, because the servers are doing fine. Unfortunately, we can't help you very much because (1) you didn't tell us what's wrong and (2) you buried your post at the bottom of an unrelated thread where nobody will see it. So.... Start a new thread and tell us what error messages you are getting, what your computer is like, what viewer you are using, and anything that you have already tried. BTW, Agni is the name of the main grid, where we all are.
  24. Thanks. I missed that. I'm totally mysitifed by the whole thing now. Even stretching as hard as I can, I don't see where the offense was. We have lost a good friend and probably the best scripting mentor LL has ever had. I can't begin to say how much I have learned from Void's examples and encouraging words, and her always-welcome improvements to my perfect scripts.
