Hello! Question to experienced scripters. Has anyone ever worked with RCX flight scripts? I have this Land Light script. Its for the prim cone of light. In the off state it is a small cone but when it is turned on it increases. And I want to redo it into a simple light source (no cone prim). I need to remove all the excess that affects the size of my light source and leave only the turning on/off the parameters of light. What needs to be removed? Can anyone help? /** * @author(s): Reconx86 * @created: 2016.04.12 * * RCX Landing Lights: * A script too manage Landing Lights * * @license: * You are allowed to share this script full-perm with others and even use it in your own projects. * But do not sell the script seperately nor as part of a script package */ integer lLandLight; integer rLandLight; string objName = "landing light"; integer links; integer objTotal; list lstPrimNames; rcxGetNames() { lstPrimNames = []; integer link_nr; integer links = llGetNumberOfPrims(); for (link_nr = 0; link_nr <= links; link_nr++) { lstPrimNames += [llGetLinkName(link_nr)]; } } integer rcxName2Link (string prim_name) { integer link_nr = llListFindList(lstPrimNames, [prim_name]); if (link_nr == -1) { link_nr = llGetListLength(lstPrimNames); llOwnerSay(llGetScriptName() + ": Prim \"" + prim_name + "\" not found"); } return link_nr; } lightsOn(integer num, integer navSide) { list params; params = [ PRIM_GLOW, ALL_SIDES, num * 0.1, PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, num, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, //reflection/tint 1.0, 2, 0.5, PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, <0.0, 0.5, 1.0>, num * 0.07//Light transparancy ]; if (num) {//When lights are turned on this returns TRUE params += [ PRIM_POS_LOCAL, <16.4, navSide * 3.5, -2.64>, PRIM_SIZE, <5.00000, 5.00000, 30.00000> ]; } else {//Executes when lights are turned off params += [ PRIM_POS_LOCAL, <3.9, navSide * 3.5, 0.0>, PRIM_SIZE, <1.00000, 1.00000, 1.00000> ]; } if (~navSide) { llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(lLandLight, params); llSetLinkAlpha(lLandLight, 0.0, 0); } else { llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(rLandLight, params); llSetLinkAlpha(rLandLight, 0.0, 0); } } default { state_entry() { links = llGetObjectPrimCount(llGetKey()); rcxGetNames(); lLandLight = rcxName2Link("RCX Landing Light (Port)"); rLandLight = rcxName2Link("RCX Landing Light (Starboard)"); lstPrimNames = []; } link_message(integer sender, integer num, string msg, key id) { if (msg == "#landing_light") { lightsOn(num, 1); lightsOn(num, -1); llSetScriptState(llGetScriptName(), FALSE); } } }

Hello! I need some help please! I'm trying to make a speedometer. Does anyone know what is the actual speed of the flight or walking avatar in the sl? I need to calibrate. I tried two speedometers at the same time they show different numbers. Thank you!

Greetings, got a character with wings now and been trying to find an AO or animations where my character is always flying, ya know? Hovering slightly above the ground when standing, walking, and even sprinting... Does anyone, by chance, know where I can find some of this stuff?

Hello! I'm trying for the first time to build a seaplane and here I got such a script. The script is excellent, the plane flies, but I can not add the ailerons, rudder, flaps. in the script I see these words are encountered. Please help add them.

Hello all! I'm wondering if there is a flying system for fliers such as angels, harpies, dragons and other non-mechanical fliers? A system that maybe works with the standard sl flight and adds things like flapping to gain height, hovering slowly descends, hold down crouch to dive, and heavier turns and such to make for a more realistic and interactive flight? I've seen wings that do this, the Valkyrie Wings for example... by they do not work with the sl flight system. The result being that I cant use my wings with it and I would have to use the Valkyrie wings... which would be fiiinnee... except that their no mod and I payed for my wings so.... anyone know of a flight system like that? As is... my own wings wont work with the Valkyrie system because they open and close with the sl default flight system, and the valyrie system does not use the sl system at all. So I would fly with my wings folded against my back... kinda weird looking. If anyone knows of a system that would work, or a work around I would be very grateful. I'm currently playing an angel and flying is a pretty big deal for angels... and the standard flight is so... blehk. I would like to enjoy time spent in the air ya know? lol Thank you for your time!! -Anna.
