Things you can't do in LSL

"you can use llOwnerSay to communicate with certain third party clients to trigger proprietary behaviour that is not a documented part of the scripting language".

"you can use llemail, http, etc to interact with certain third party scripts hosted on outside-of-sl webservers"

That doesn't make that functionality PART of LSL, nor does it make it PART of what llOwnerSay can do.

Your kitchen sink can not make ice. You can USE the kitchen sink to get water which you can then use a third party device (a freezer) to turn into ice... but ice is not a function of your kitchen sink.

As you pointed out, the topic is "What you cant do in LSL"

I can do these things useing LSL,

No extensions to LSL needed.

The Restrained Life API is NOT LSL.
If you need a whole new third party client to do it, then the function clearly isn't part of LSL.

I give up..

LSL is clearly defined on the Wicki.

The influence it has with clients is not.

To say i'm not useing LSL is silly, it may not have the same effect on the standard client, but it is still LSL.

Back to topic please or discuss in a new thread. thank you =)

And i have to agree with Winter. There is no LSL function to change clothes. Using extensions like a 3rd party viewer is out of context.

RestrainedLife has hooks allow you write scripts that emit strings that make the RestrainedLife VIEWER behave in a certain way. That's not LSL scripting. That's meta-programming that targets a specific viewer. If I run those scripts using the stock SL client, THEY DON'T WORK.

And yes, this conversation has become tiresome.

I suspect you are being intentionally obstinate, but I would agree with the other comments that what you are referring to is not a standard part of LSL. While the Wiki does not specifically state that the information contained within is associated with the accepted and officially supported *Second Life* viewers, any intelligent person can quite clearly see that is a fundamental assumption.

It's asinine to suggest that a thread which is made to educate people about the LSL language be revised to include information about every (or even any) third-party viewer that comes along.

It's reasonable to expect that people wanting to learn more about unsupported extensions should go to the websites and resources dedicated to those extensions.

Even if LSL were a general-purpose language rather than a domain-specific language created by the Second Life developers for the Second Life platform, I would expect people interested in unsupported viewers and hacks to view the appropriate resources.

Agreed.
This thread is for standard LSL within a standard LL client and sim.
Start another similar thread for anything else.

We know theres plenty of cool stuff that can be done, but thats not the point of this thread.
Tangentally: google "autohotkey" (very useful)

Can a script cause an object to affect the area around it's gravity to pull in on itself like a planet does, and can one attach that to a sphere to walk all the way around it?

it can using pushobject as long as pushes are enabled on the land. not sure about walking around it, i assume causing it to orbit?

Well no not orbit, I want to do basically was Super Mario Galaxy did with their planets and traveling across them

I had rezzed an 800 character display I made. My goal was to get the scripts and fix it on another av as it did have way too many scripts for the job it was doing, about 6 per each of 160 character display prims. First iteration. Trying to rez it on my alt, it kept popping back into inventory (it was still no copy no mod so i'd not set something right) Went back to strip it down and it gave me an error about unable to rez object that cause problem in the sim. The sim in question is always laggy. It's a sandbox with many vendors. I'm guess it will need to go no-script except for members of vendor group...

I've had this object out a number of times and built and scripted it in this sim. WTF changed?

I hate SL sometimes.

Not news, but this should be removed from the "impossible" list.

You had trouble rezzing an object containing 960 scripts?

Good.

It is still not implemented at time of writing.

It seems I have a touching faith in documentation.

It is there on the beta grid, I am told.

-have a single script run on permissions requested from multiple users

I doubt this is an effect of the script count... we've had more than one person test 10's of thousands of scripts in the same prim with no problems. unless something has changed (and it might have).

more likely some bit of programming glitched it when it was taken back to inventory, or some vagary of mono decided to make an appearance. (although i suppose the higher the script count, the higher the chance of glitch, in the general sense)

There was a change in rezzing scripted stuff, and it's part of why the restrictions were put on taking coalesced objects (or rather, one of the reasons it might not be possible to rez big ones). There is an anti-grief measure that kicks in somewhere around 1000 scripts. More background in http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1571

-make a bicycle or unicycle, as a single object (linked prims), with moving pedals that update more than 5 times per second

Yeah, you could.
I don't think that kind of specificity is what this thread is about though.

How does a bot do this???

Essentially you take the open source code of the standard viewer and add your own code that watches for an appropriate input (e.g. someone saying "Gimme a notecard" in chat) and automatically generates the outputs that do whatever is wanted.
