Thanks, everyone. I must admit that I struggle with the concepts sometimes, but thank you for your patience. I'll have a fiddle about and see what I come up with. Innula sent me a HUD inworld a little time ago that I am also having a tinker with. It's all very interesting.

Nice shot there, Venus. Liking the trousers, especially. Lovely setting, too.

YES! It works perfectly! Thanks, everyone!

With a display names capable viewer, I would see you as "Paul J. Franklin (PaulJFranklin29)". I have usernames turned off, so I'd see him as Paul. J. Franklin. Even with usernames turned off, you still see the username if you mouseover a resident. I am not sure I understand why usernames are such a big deal.

To adjust Rolig's Pose Stand, you would have to: change the permission requesting mechanism, since in your case it's an attachment and not something you sit on add the dialogs I shall have to find out how to add dialogues. As for the permission requesting mechanism, am I right in thinking it's to do with this line: agent = llAvatarOnSitTarget(); But what to? And I am right in thinking this bit should be deleted? run_time_permissions(integer parm) { if(parm == PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION) { llStopAnimation("sit"); llSetAlpha(0.0,ALL_SIDES); //Make the pose stand invisible llSetObjectName(""); llStartAnimation(CurrAnim); And...

((By the way, I appreciate that I'm kind of leeching off the community here. Hopefully other folks'll get stuff out of this exercise and I'll eventually learn enough to start giving back. :robothappy: ))

It is quite lovely. I shall look for one. It may surprise you to know that my skybox is shiny and sci-fi and has a glowy garden on the roof.

Well, all I'm really after is a thing that I can type a chat command into or get a menu for, or both, and it'll pose me.I have other stuff that'll do hugs and stuff, so although they're nice, I can dispense with those. The way OpenCollar works is that if you click the device or type /1 xxmenu into chat, where the letters xx are your initials, you get a hierarchical menu (the top-level buttons are animate, leash, rlv, owners, help/update, add-ons, some others), or you can type /1 xxnameofanimation and bang, you play the animation. My scripting skillz are, as you are probably aware right now, so basic it's not even funny. An attachment version of Rolig Loon's Multipose Stand might be adequate, actually, but I am not sure I know how to convert that.

I shall go try it out and report. Truly you are a prince among avatars.

I'm lazy. I have a bellybutton ring I made and what I wanted was a thing that I could use to apply poses to my avatar for photos without needing to rez a pose stand or go to my inventory. So what I did was make a tummybutton ring and put opencollar scripts into it, plonk, like that, because opencollar has this awesome thing where you can apply poses to your av through menu and chat commands, and if you take out the creepy SnM poses and put in model poses, it's pretty cool, and it's got some (admittedly rather clunky) couple anims too, if you want to kiss or hug someone. But the thing is, that's not idea because I don't use an RLV-enabled viewer, which means the thing is sub-optimal in terms of my client's framerate (and, I suspect, general lag too, although I don't know that for sure), and because there are piles of scripts in it that I have no intention of ever using (leash, for instance, or owner, or any of the rlv stuff that I can't use anyways because I am using 2.6, or the thing that asks the OpenCollar servers for updates). Question then is, to what extent is it possible to strip scripts out of an opencollar attachment? I mean, can I just delete the ones that I don't want (leash, update, the RLV ones) and leave the ones I do want (anims, menu) or are they all interconnected? Will deleting scripts without editing the remaining ones break the thing? What can go? What can't? Or is there an easier option for the non-proficient scripter?

MAN ALIVE you have a nice house. Love the fountain. So classy.

I had never heard of Starcraft, so I Googled her. I was a bit thrown that a character who looked like she should be called Hasturra The Nasty But Sexy, Queen of the Gribbly Things, was actually called Sarah.

D'oh! Of course! So. How does this look? //This is a collision of lines from some online library and Darkie Minotaur's awesome script. Please tell me if it's going to work! integer giVisible = 1; switchVisible(vector col, float glow, float alpha) { integer i; for(i = 1; i <= llGetNumberOfPrims(); ++i) { if (llSubStringIndex(llList2String(llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(i, [PRIM_NAME]), 0), "glow") > -1) { llSetLinkPrimitiveParams(i, [PRIM_GLOW, -1, glow, PRIM_COLOR, -1,col, alpha]); } } } default { state_entry(){ llListen(9, "",llGetOwner(), "" ); } listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string text) { if(text=="hide"){ switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, .15, 0.4); } giVisible = 1; if(text=="show"){ switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, 0, 0.0); } giVisible = 0; } if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()) { touch_end(integer num_detected) { if(giVisible == 0) { switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, 0.15, 0.4); } else { switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, 0.0, 0.0); } giVisible = !giVisible; } attach(key id) { switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, 0.0, 0.0); giVisible = 1; } } }

Thanks, guys! ; PeterCanessa Oh wrote:Bit I just don't understand: Why are the settings in the attach() event-handler different to the show/hide ones? I take it there's a reason, but it's not obvious just from the script. This is because I do not know what I am doing. So the settings should be the same, right? I am not one who relly knows how these scripts work beyond the most general theory. Not a newb to building, compleat newb to scripting.

Darkie Minotaur, in this previous thread, helped me out no end and I got an amazing script that, with no lag or anything, makes stuff proper vanish when you touch the object, and do it well and efficiently, which is important, given that there are popular clothes makers (naming no names) who still insist on scripting stuff so that you have like thirty prims, all listening on maybe /1 with scripts running in every single one! But I thought, I have four items now (visor, collar, bracelets), and they've all got similar glowy bits that I might want to turn on and off and while I love that I can touch them and they go zap and vanish, having the four items listening on say, /9, and typing /9 show or /9 hide and having them all go at once would be awesome; likewise, being able to turn on or off one at at a time is also great. So, here is my very first attempt at proper script construction, made by colliding Darkie Minotaur's script with rules gleaned from an exemplar I found on an online repository. //This is a collision of lines from some online library and Darkie Minotaur's awesome script. Please tell me if it's going to work! integer giVisible = 1; switchVisible(vector col, float glow, float alpha) { integer i; for(i = 1; i <= llGetNumberOfPrims(); ++i) { if (llSubStringIndex(llList2String(llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(i, [PRIM_NAME]), 0), "glow") > -1) { llSetLinkPrimitiveParams(i, [PRIM_GLOW, -1, glow, PRIM_COLOR, -1,col, alpha]); } } } default { state_entry(){ llListen(9, "","", "" ); } listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string text) { if(text=="hide"){ switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, .15, 0.4); } if(text=="show"){ switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, 0, 0.0); } giVisible = !giVisible; } touch_end(integer num_detected) { if(giVisible == 0) { switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, .15, 0.4); } else { switchVisible(<1, 1, 1>, 0, 0.0); } giVisible = !giVisible; } attach(key id) { switchVisible(<0, 0, 0>, 1.0, 1.0); giVisible = 1; } } By the way, just so you know it's not all theoretical, these are the items I am talking about, as modelled by my avie: the visor is invisible, but you can still see the head gems that are also part of the attachment. Likewise the shiny metal collar and wristbands stay when the glowy bits vanish. And here's the visor when it's on:

Oh, totally. I've never used a 100% pre-packaged AO. I always add extra stands and leave out others.

I've used it too. It's ace.

@Venus: Thank you! @Valerie: That's hot. Is there a SLPresidential election? Are you starting your campaign?

Oh my, what is that and where has it been all my life (hi, Nuuna, btw)? Nuuna Nitely wrote: I want this:

I have a premium account that I signed up for about a year after I joined SL. I got the signup bonus. I fail to see why you can't have multiple premiums though. I mean, the L$1000 and the L$300 stipend aren't actually going to put you in profit, even if it's an annual one.

And if they're on your friends list, you can right-click on them and select pay, whether they're online or off.

This was of a massive help. Inspired by this post, last week I removed about 13,000 things from my inventory, deleted about a hundred outfit lists and put everything into hierarchical folders, and SL is already better for me. So much better.

I read the JIRA, and even the Linden who posted on there agreed that you shouldn't be able to mute yourself by clicking an adjacent menu item when trying to return something (which was, I think, exactly how I did it). So there we go.But seriously, I had nothing to add that hadn't been said. I am not sure a "me too" is of utility.

What do you mean, in poor taste? I'm dressed from head to toe!
