LL should just add this as an official feature. It is so useful and opens so many creative possibilities.

for those people who are having problems use this script. It auto sets the scale to 0,0 and the offset.


CODE
//The Better Invisibility Script 
//from Chris Knox
refresh()
{
    llSetTexture("38b86f85-2575-52a9-a531-23108d8da837", ALL_SIDES);
    llOffsetTexture(0.468, 0, ALL_SIDES);
    llScaleTexture(0, 0, ALL_SIDES);
    llSleep(30);
    llSetTexture("e97cf410-8e61-7005-ec06-629eba4cd1fb", ALL_SIDES);
    llOffsetTexture(0.468, 0, ALL_SIDES);
    llScaleTexture(0, 0, ALL_SIDES);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        refresh();
        llSetTimerEvent(5);
    }

    timer()
    {
        if ((integer)llGetWallclock() % 60 < 10)
        {
            refresh();
        }
    }
}

Who has the old texture that will make all PRIMS vanish. The sort people put around ugly builds so they can't bee seen from your property.

(I think the old giant "Thinker" toilet build had one of these near it.)

Thanks, Chris. As I mentioned in another thread today, I hadn't originally intended the script to be used in prims that weren't already invisiprims. I just updated it to 1.1a so that it now sets the texture offset & scale, sets alpha to 1, and applies a bump-map upon init.

BTW Chris, you don't need to re-apply the texture offset & scale on every texture change. The previous values will persist. :)

Invisibility Script
11-28-2004 15:48
I also got the free invisibility script. It was too small to hide my legs and feet, so I resized it. Seems to work fine, except that ALL alpha-type objects behind the "invisibility bubble" are also invisible ... And, the floating text is a dead giveaway that there is an invisible person in the vicinity. I tried deleting the floating text from the Content box of the prim, but the text remains ...

Still, this is something to work with, and its uses are quite many, indeed. Thanks for this new toy! ;)

Floating text has to be cleared manualy from a script, it won't go away just by disabling the script.

I believe the line of code you need is llSetText([]);

llSetText([]);


CODE

{
     state_entry()
     {
          llSetText("", <0,0,0>, 0);
     }
}

Actually, I think it should be llSetText("";); :)

That syntax probably won't work, Princess... it should immediately throw a "Function call mismatches type or number of arguments" error, since you're missing the colour and alpha parameters... :D

lol

CODE
default
{
     state_entry()
     {
          llSetText("", ZERO_VECTOR, 0.0);
     }
}


that would probably be the most perfect way to call that function... even providing the float with, a float

Are you sure you attached the invisiprim successfully? Sometimes I have problems attaching items, and I need to relog in order for them to attach. Also, what kind of av do you have? Is it a regular human av, or is it a "prim suit"?

It will always hide alpha textures, as stated in the notecard instructions included with the invisiprim. There is no way to prevent this, unfortunately.

Regular human AV. And yes I'm sure it attaches.

Anyone know where Beatfox' land went. The invisiprim is no longer at the location he specified.

llSetAlpha(0,ALL_SIDES);
That usually works well enough. Doesn't hide attachments, tho.

I just logged into SL (I've mostly left SL, but I drift through the boards now and then) and checked that the script still works - it does. I'd be pretty sad if it did die, because one of my avatars relies on it pretty heavily. (I'm the one on the left i the first image. *grin*)

Since people are saying Beatfox's land is gone, I've taken the liberty of posting the code. I hope xe doesn't mind!

Go to your inventory, create->new script. It'll be called "New Script" in your "Scripts" folder. Rename it to "Invisibility Prim Refresh v1.1a", double-click on it, and paste all this into it.

Then create a prim you want to be invisible, and drop the script onto it. Within thirty seconds (be patient!) it should become the Invisible Texture. I just tested from the copy in my inventory, and it works fine.

CODE
// Invisibility Prim Refresh v1.1a
// by Beatfox Xevious
// last updated Oct. 21, 2004

refresh()
{
    llSetTexture("38b86f85-2575-52a9-a531-23108d8da837", ALL_SIDES);
    llSleep(30);
    llSetTexture("e97cf410-8e61-7005-ec06-629eba4cd1fb", ALL_SIDES);
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_BUMP_SHINY, ALL_SIDES, PRIM_SHINY_NONE, PRIM_BUMP_BRIGHT]);
        llOffsetTexture(0.468, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);
        llScaleTexture(0.0, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);
        llSetAlpha(1.0, ALL_SIDES);
        llSetTimerEvent(5);
    }

    timer()
    {
        if ((integer)llGetWallclock() % 60 < 10)
        {
            refresh();
        }
    }
}
