Hi All, I have three questions (1) I decided to try making my own floatie, something similar to the purple inner tube, but my own build. I used the To0b script that came with the freebie as a starting place. For the most part it works. However I am sinking about 5 inches deeper into the water than I should be and it looks like i'm drowning lol. The object turns physical when sat on. I've tried several things including changing physical property type, hover height, boyancy, and gravity (which sent me flying into the air haha). Anyway, I cant seem to what parameter needs changing to make me float just a little bit higher in the water. (2) 2nd problem...any time I change a parameter in the script while its on water, the object becomes dead...unfloatable, as if the script died. I tried resetting script and setting script to running (just in case), but once it's dead that's the end of it. Any suggestions here as well? (3) Am trying to add a collision sound when it bumps into things. Tried using CollsionSound("MySound,1.0); but it only sounded when jumping off the object, and not when it bumped into something. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is the script: ================== // by Ben // Some help from Casval and Dave rotation rot; key owner; reset() { vector pos = llGetPos(); pos.z = pos.z + 2.0; llMoveToTarget(pos, 0.3); llRotLookAt(rot, 0.1, 1.0); llSleep(1.0); llStopLookAt(); llStopMoveToTarget(); } default { state_entry() { llSetSoundQueueing(FALSE); llPassCollisions(TRUE); llSetSitText("Ride"); llSitTarget(<-0.37, 0.00, -0.01>, <0.00000, -0.25882, 0.00000, 0.47>); // <bkwd/fwd , left/right , up/down> , <rotation, rotation, rotation> llSetCameraEyeOffset(<-4.0, 0.0, 5.00>); llSetCameraAtOffset(<0.0, 0.0, 1.0>); llSetVehicleType(VEHICLE_TYPE_CAR); llRemoveVehicleFlags(-1); llSetVehicleFlags(VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_WATER_ONLY | VEHICLE_FLAG_HOVER_UP_ONLY | VEHICLE_FLAG_NO_DEFLECTION_UP); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.2); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.2); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 1.0); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 1000.0); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE, 1.0); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 0.1); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_TIMESCALE, 0.1); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 0.1); llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE, <10, 10, 10.0>); llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE, <10.0, 10.0, 10>); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.2); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_VERTICAL_ATTRACTION_TIMESCALE, 0.5); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_BUOYANCY, 0); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT, 0.1); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_EFFICIENCY, 0.5); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_TIMESCALE, 0.1); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_BANKING_EFFICIENCY, 0.1); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_BANKING_TIMESCALE, 0.01); llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_BANKING_MIX, 1.0); //llCollisionSound("", 0.0); } on_rez(integer param) { // if(owner != llGetOwner()) // { // owner = llGetOwner(); //llGiveInventory(agent, "Innertube Instructions"); //} } changed(integer change) { if (change & CHANGED_LINK) { key agent = llAvatarOnSitTarget(); //llGiveInventory(agent, "Tubing Gnoma"); if (agent) { //if (agent != llGetOwner()) //{ // llSay(0, "You aren't the owner"); // llUnSit(agent); // llPushObject(agent, <0,0,100>, ZERO_VECTOR, FALSE); //} // else // { llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE); llRequestPermissions(agent, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION | PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS); llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 0, "on", ""); llSetTimerEvent(1.0); //} } else { llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, FALSE); llReleaseControls(); //llStopAnimation("crouch"); llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 0, "off", ""); llSetTimerEvent(0.0); llStopSound(); } } } run_time_permissions(integer perm) { if (perm) { //llStopAnimation("sit"); //llStartAnimation("crouch"); llTakeControls(CONTROL_FWD | CONTROL_BACK | CONTROL_RIGHT | CONTROL_LEFT | CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT | CONTROL_ROT_LEFT | CONTROL_UP | CONTROL_DOWN, TRUE, FALSE); } } control(key id, integer level, integer edge) { vector angular_motor; if(level & CONTROL_FWD) { llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <4, 0, 0>); llStartAnimation("falldown"); } if(level & CONTROL_BACK) { llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, <-4,0,0>); llStartAnimation("falldown"); } if(level & (CONTROL_RIGHT|CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT)) { angular_motor.z = -PI * 0.25; llStartAnimation("falldown"); } if(level & (CONTROL_LEFT|CONTROL_ROT_LEFT)) { angular_motor.z = PI * 0.25; llStartAnimation("falldown"); } if(level & (CONTROL_DOWN)) { //reset(); } else if(level == FALSE) { llStopAnimation("falldown"); } llSetVehicleVectorParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION, angular_motor); } timer() { vector pos = llGetPos(); if(( pos.z - llGround(ZERO_VECTOR) ) < 0.8) { rot = llGetRot(); } } } ================== Thank you.
