[Can someone help with this particle script?]

Exellent!  The butterflies stay closer now -- I need to make them so they don't dive towards the ground. If I can't figure it out I appreciate your offer. :-)

You have two or three copies of the particle system in there, plus a listen. I can click you up a script in 2 seconds with Mote if you can describe exactly what you're after. I'm pretty sure the posted stuff isn't really what you want.

The Ama Omega script is bulky, and most of it isn't necessary. The "smokey feet" stuff is for one of the particle systems she produced, which you don't want for a wind chime.

How far do you want your butterflies to go, in what direction(s), and how often and how fast?

Thank you so much Paladin (did look lot a LOT of stuff in there!)

I want them to just fly a couple of meters, outward in any or all directions. Not up into the ceiling.

Thank you Talarus :-)

Agree, titles should have more weight.

[Can someone help with this particle script?]

I want the butterflies to move down and or sideways, just a couple of meters, but they fly up and out pretty far. I am putting it in a windchime so I don't want them to fly directly up into the ceiling, but I have changed the numbers I think might help and they don't.

I don't know if this is your situation or not, but some of the more desperate business ppl (and performers I guess) put ppl on a spam list without their consent, which is ARable. And then some of them have the nerve to tell the spamee to unsubscribe themselves, or they refuse to take them off the list (because the spamee is not always able to take himself off).

Tell, me, how do you deed a no-transfer object, when deeding it to a group is a transfer of ownership? That can't be done.

No-copy deeded objects might have issues that way, though.

In general, the "Return all items on parcel" button is incredibly hazardous, and should never be used.You are almost certain to trash something that way. The most common problem is the house, pool and a couple of trees all get lumped together in a single coalesced object, or in objects that bear no relation to what was part of your house or part of the pool. If you have even one Linden Plant in that mess, you can't rez the coalesced object except on land that allows you to create plants and trees. If you have one no-copy item in that lump, and it fails to rez for any reason, it vanishes forever.

 

I have never deeded anything but the warning is there: "*WARNING* No-transfer deeded objects will be deleted!"

 

I also never check that little box saying not to warn me of things.

I think it is group owned things that disappear forever.

 

You can check my Picks for video links on how to retrieve items which have been returned.
