It can be done using a vehicle script such as hellicopter script or airplane script. The root prim x axis will be the long vertical axis of rocket. Y axis rotation used for pitch and x axis rotation used for roll. This way the rocket can take off vertically....then pitch over after it gets airborne .... Banking/left /right can be set with vehicle banking parameters. There is a vehicle tutorial in the scripting Library under vehicles listing. Find any free basic vehicle script with modify permissions and modify to behave as a rocket. Have fun dd

Problem 1 :Gaming level laptops ,(like SL needs to get high performance/ FPS ) , are inherently more expensive than similar performance desktops. The second problem is that high performance laptops with high performance Nvidia dedicated graphics Chip generate a lot of heat and use up the battery quickly while in SL. Yes..i said dedicated graphics "chip" There is no graphics "card" in Laptops. Nvidia 550,650,750,850,950 are the min performance level that you need, The second digit indicates the performance level for Nvidia graphics . The first digit is related to the year it was made. So a second digit of 5 or higher is what you want. The cheapest alternative way is to get a laptop using the newest Intel I5 or I7 "5th generation" cpu called"Broadwell" This newest CPU has 2 advantages, very low power consumption of 15 watts ,(less heat longer battery life), and has a much better performance Integrated graphics on board the same cpu called hD 5500 or hd 6000. The trick is finding a laptop that uses this newest 5th generation version Intel cpu. Since its new the makers tend to charge more But soon, (by xmas), lots of laptops will be using Broadwell version. The HD 5500 and hd 6000 integrated graphics will give you ability to use HIGH SL graphics in most situations and still have reasonable FPS. Have longer battery life and generate less heat. If you want to have ULTRA graphics setting in SL,,,you will need a pc with separate Nvidia graphics Chip ver 550 or higher. Honestly you need to pay $1000 to $1200 mininum to get what you want for SL. Laptops under $1000 will most likely have low performance graphics chips or older integrated graphics .

No one else mentioned it so i wll.......You will probably need a higher wattage power supply for the new graphic card. Be sure to check power supply requirements for the new card. dd

Download the 64 bit version of Singularity viewer (64 bit Linux version) http://www.singularityviewer.org/downloads This works fine on my Chromebook with Linux operationg system installed. dd

Hi, there is an option in all viewers to "Fly" if page-up is pressed....if not selected, your avatar only jumps on page-up. Because of what you just said about Singularity viewer results.....i suspect you have a "stuck" page-up key OR \your PC "THINKS" page-up is pressed. Tying another keyboard is a good idea... as was just mentioned by another forum Helper.

Some place in your current viewer there is a place to choose "Stop animating my Avatar" if that fails try using a different viewer.......ie Firestorm., .coolViewer Singularity etc etc. good luck

Just in case you didn't try....Restart your PC and log in again with the problem avatar. good luck

About 2 years ago I submitted a jira on false "collision detects" occuring every time when crossing between sims in a flying vehicle. The jira was closed shortly after and the reason given was that this was already classified as a " Maintence Bug" . (Many Airplane vehicles scripts use a combination of collision detection and airplane speed/power to begin landing or taxi modes. So if you happen to be flying slow at a sim crossing....the airplane can falsely enter into landing/taxi mode) So...here we are 2 years later and no "maintence bug fix " was ever done to resolve this. Has there been any news as to when this bug might get resolved? and yes..I do realize that the Linden staff rarely read or comment on forum postings :)

Hi , If you are the sim owner or estate manager, you can use World...Region/estate.....Debug.......and choose "Get top scripts" It may take a minute or so to load all the acrive scripted objects in the region..........Find your object in that list... select it....then click on the "Return selected "button. Make sure only that 1 object is selected!!!... careful.... If you are not sim owner or estate manager.....contact that person and ask them to return it using method i just described. good luck dd

Hi, Do you own the parcel of land that you want to control the music audio on??? If you do the music http can be set in "about land".....audio window/ You can search the internet for http music stations that have free access. If you dont own the land.......then request that the land owner put your music station. Have the land owner put a music player that can be controled by group members or publc. dd

Hi....Is it possible that the part of the house that you are placing the new floor/ceiling prim is actually a little bit past /overhanging the "edge" of the sim? this would not be a problem for the original linked house.....because its center axis is inside the sim boundries. But a new unlinked prim...sitting over the edge of the sim...will behave as phantom. dd

If you are the region/estate owner or if you have Estate Manager permissions....;then you can set the elevation at which the different terrain textures such as sand and grass begin and end. However for terrain textures each region is divided into 4 quadrants (NE,NW,SE,SW.) You can see this by choosing World...region/estate....ground textures. But you do need estate manager permissions to make changes. dd

Thanks Fenix for that observation.....I'll test it soon . dd

Hi Innula, Yes i am sure you are correct. lesson learned for me. Thanks dd

Hi everyone Thank for all your good ideas. (My PC and connection are fast) I found the solution after trying some of your great suggestions. I'll show the parts of the script both before and after the "fix". Before: changed(integer change) { if (change & CHANGED_LINK) { av = llAvatarOnSitTarget(); if (av) { llRequestPermissions(llAvatarOnSitTarget(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION); listener=llListen(com_channel,"","",""); llDialog(av,"HyperTransport",buttons, com_channel); } else { llListenRemove(listener); } } run_time_permissions(integer perm) { llStopAnimation("sit"); llStartAnimation ("stand");//("Standing arms crossed breathing"); } After fix: changed(integer change) { if (change & CHANGED_LINK) { av = llAvatarOnSitTarget(); if (av) { llRequestPermissions(llAvatarOnSitTarget(), PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION); } else { llListenRemove(listener); } } run_time_permissions(integer perm) { llStopAnimation("sit"); llStartAnimation ("stand");//("Standing arms crossed breathing"); listener=llListen(com_channel,"","",""); llDialog(av,"HyperTransport",buttons, com_channel); } apparently...even though these 2 code lines were after the Permissions Request it finished excuting the following 2 lines first before the permissions event. listener=llListen(com_channel,"","",""); llDialog(av,"HyperTransport",buttons, com_channel); Anyway thanks everyone for all your help

HI, Anyone know a good script method to go directly to the desired animation WITHOUT first seeing the normal sit animation. The object that I left click on to "sit" has the obect parameter set to "sit" when touched. I am doing a change event (change & changed_link) as a trigger to request permission trigger Animation And runtime permissions event to start animation("my_animation"). This all works BUT I see the avatar momentarily "sitting" before begining "my_animation". How can "sit" on that object........but immediately see ONLY my_animation? i guess another way to ask this is....is there a way to CHANGE the default sit animation? thanks..... dd

Look closely at error message........I think its showing '- -login' (not '-login' ) Iput a space between the 2 dashes only for clarity ... actualy should be '--login' This is just a guess on my part...i am not a Mac person....I'm just thinking there is some subtle hard to see error. good luck dd

First of all....Login with your ALT only. (I say this because you mentioned multiple viewers are enabled) Just log ALT in with a single viewer and all other applications closed. Test to see if this works. If you still get error "username and/or pw could not be verified" Then i suspect you are not entering the name or password correctly somehow......i.e pass words are case sensitive......user name or password misspelled . Use your ALT username and password to log in to the SL Forums webpage....to verify that the name and password are correct. if you can log your ALT in here(forums) then the user name and password must be correct. dd

Hi, It's not really clear to me exactly what you want to do........ But if you Hold down the ALT key and left click on what you want the camera to focus on. Then keeping the ALT key pressed......use arrow keys,or page up/page down keys, or scroll wheel on mouse to move your Avatar camera to any desired position. This will work on any 3rd party viewer. dd

Hi again,,,,,, You should at least get an email back saying case has been created, If not , submit another support ticket. You can also submit another case under "billing Support" There is a Toll free phone number for support also. If you are a landowner you can also use LIVE Chat support during Linden Labs business hours. Bobbie's sugestion above is a good one also......i've had to do that before. Good luck...

Hi You need to submit a support case at this location. https://support.secondlife.com/create-case/

Greetings After it is linked...go back and set doorway part only ..."physics shape" to "none". this effectively makes only the door way phantom. dd

Yes same issues when i tried to log in tonite at 9 pm SL time all gray avatar body and worn clothes. loging in from USA....South Florida. dd

Very clever script method Miss Loon....I must remember this technique dd

What?........ 365 ms ping? Is that a typo? If it's really 365 ms ...you need to find out why.. as any where in USA should be 100 ms or less to Sl servers. Check packet loss...should be 0.0 all the time 7.27mbps connection is not fast but should be ok Check your draw distance setting...as this has the biggest effect on Frame rate. The complexity of the region that your are visiting is the next biggest factor. If your avatar is facing an empty "Ocean" then your frame rate should increase dramatically even in the higher graphics modes (high or Ultra) dd
