Particle Garden - Grows slowly, random textures

Hello everyone,

This is my first post in here so I hope I'm doing it right. Took me forever to learn how to put the code thing in. Anyway on behalf of Tina Vale and myself I would like to present the particle garden script that I use in my classes.

What does it do?
- It shows a particle picture of what ever texture that is in the object randomly.
- The flowers grow slowly
- It is visible from all angles like all particles

How do you use it?
- Rez an Object
- Change the ROTATION X=90, Y=0, Z=0 (Under the OBJECT tab for the object)
- You put this script into an object (Click on New Script in the object's contents and copy the code below to this object and save)
- Put any other flowers, gnomes, tree textures you want inside it.
- Click to start / stop

float MAX_RADIUS = 2.5;
float RADIUS_INTERVAL = 0.5;

// Modified values
integer IS_ON = FALSE;
float RADIUS = 2;
string TEXTURE = "f42bcc2b-20c8-9df7-cf1c-69566e377fd8";

        } else {
            llSetTimerEvent(RADIUS_INTERVAL);
            garden();
            llWhisper(0, "Garden has started");
        }
        IS_ON = !IS_ON;
    }
    
    timer() {
        integer max_inventory = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
        if(max_inventory > 0) {
            TEXTURE = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, (integer)llFrand(max_inventory));
        }
        RADIUS = llFrand(MAX_RADIUS);
        garden();
    }
}

Oh I do give a 3 part class on this. And the classes are FREE! Come on down to http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eson/32/162/351/. I'll try to repeat it once a week. Although my plan is to create a new class every week.

Hope I didn't talk to much. And remember me when you make your millions.... lol

Nice to see this! I use a similar process myself...but its great to see this type of script out there for others to use now for thier builds etc...
