Anyone have a script I can drop in a prim that will whisper the text I add to it when touched? So folks can self-tour themselves through a area. Thanks.

string message = "Text to whisper when touched";

default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llWhisper(0, message);
}
}

pritty much the default script you get when creating a new script just with the message you want by changing the text :)

Hi...

...I was working on an object for the house where you can hide an object instead of another {if you have A, B, C you can use a chat command to show A and automatically hide B and C, when you show B C stais hidden and A turns hiodden too, etcetera...} and so far it works great.
Now my problem is...what if I want to use a Hud/buttons to not have to type the command in chat all the times?
The little script you wrote above didnt give the result I was hoping for...the use of it is endless for me. Do you have any solution? The same thing is very useful in clothes....you can wear something and hide/show parts of the cloths as you wish for example.
Basicly the needed script must allow to communicate beteen twop different objects in order to operate an action on one object by another object.

I hope I was clear...lol...and I hope you can help...


Thanks,

1. You can't control clothes through scripts (or do anything in player's inventory). However - you can hide/show attachements that are currently attached.

2. Writing scripts with HUD and object-to-object communications are something where scripters are getting their money. You should hire someone to do it :)

:eek:

Andrea, what you need is llDialog (dialog is different from a HUD, but it is the thing with buttons). Probably you'll want to use linked prims: if the ones in your house are linked, then you're already doing that :)

More info here: http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llDialog
& here: http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=link_message

There are many excellent FREE scripts for llDialog menus. One you might like to start experimenting with is here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Dialog_Module
It's pretty advanced, but most of the work has been done for you.
This is also a good one (just fill in the blanks!!): http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=LibraryGeneralMenuEngine

Once you have a feel for what you want to achieve - post back here if you get stuck :)
