Advice on sensor events?

[Virrera]

Can you do a multi state change for texture remapping off a sensor event to create a slide show that only plays when it detects avatars in range?

Can I nest state_entries with set timer events?

Thanks for any advice, trying not to make a mess!

personally i think states are best avoided

 use flags?

i.e. your sensor detects an Avatar....

integer inRange;     // used as a boolean flag

state_entry()
    {  llSensorRepeat("", "", AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME, 10.0, PI, 30.0);
    }
    sensor(integer num_detected)
    {  inRange = TRUE;

    }

    no_sensor()
     {  inRange = FALSE;
     }

  timer()

  { if( inRange)   // if the flag is TRUE

    { // start slideshow

    }

  }

 __________________________

 if you need multiple timers, have the timer set to 1 second, and use counters

for each event you need.

ex: one timer needs to fire every 30 seconds, one needs to fire every  5 seconds

integer 30SecTimer;

integer 5SecTimer;

++30SecTimer;   // will add 1 to this counter every second, when it hits 30,

 do your 30 second event and reset it to zero
