Cycling Textures - by touch

I would like to find a way to cycle textures on an object face, but not the cycle-every-2-seconds route. I'd like to make this a sort of virtual book where every click moves forward a texture.

If this sounds easy (which it probably does for you LSL-gurus), then I'd love to add one other feature: creating a timer that returns the book to it's cover/default page after, say, 5 minutes of inactivity in flipping pages.

I have been using the following script (certainly not written by me; I'm not sure whom) to cycle textures every X seconds:

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(7.5);
}
timer()
{
integer number = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
if (number > 0)
{
float rand = llFrand(number);
integer choice = (integer)rand;
string name = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, choice);
llSetTexture(name, 0);
}
}
}

Any help for this LSL-invalid is greatly appreciated.

I want this too..

For use on Backdrops of snapshots where I click and click till I have a backdrop that matches the colors and style I want...

Does anyone have this kinda script ?

default
{
touch_start(integer num_detected)
{
integer number = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
if (number > 0)
{
float rand = llFrand(number);
integer choice = (integer)rand;
string name = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, choice);
llSetTexture(name, 0);
}
}

Try that. I just reused that script in another event.

Does that move to random texture from contents ?

I'm after one that moves thu in order

and also preferable has an option of floating text of the texture name

LOL

I dont want much eh

Here's a script that will cycle through the textures in the prim's inventory in order when you touch them. Not sure if it's exactly what you're after, if not I have a few more advanced ones, just let me know.

//Change Texture on Click
//By Rysidian Rubio.

//--DESCRIPTION--

//This script will display a texture from the object's inventory onto a face (or faces) of the prim.
//when you click the prim the texture will change to the next texture in the inventory.

//global variables
integer texture_total; //don't change
integer texture_num = 0; //don't change
integer side = 1; //***number of the the side of the prim to show the texture, use ALL_SIDES for all sides of the prim

//function to count textures in inventory
get_textures()
{
	texture_total = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
}

//function to reset texture to first texture in inventory
reset_textures()
{
	get_textures();
	texture_num = 0;
	llSetTexture(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, texture_num), side);
}


//function which displays the next texture in the inventory.
next_texture()
{
	if (texture_num == texture_total)
	{
		texture_num = 0;
	}
	else
	{
		texture_num += 1;
	}
	llSetTexture(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, texture_num), side);
}


default {
    state_entry()
    {
	reset_textures();
	llAllowInventoryDrop(TRUE);
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        next_texture();
    }

	changed(integer change)
	{
		if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY)
		{
			reset_textures();
		}
	}

	on_rez(integer start_param)
	{
		llResetScript();
	}

}

I've said it before and I'll say it again: You SL people rock. That script works perfectly for my Rysidian!

Oi Oi Oi!

Your Rysidian? I thought I was the only one? lol.

one problem with this...I get this error when it gets to the last texture.

Object: Couldn't find texture

Try replacing the line "if (texture_num == texture_total)" with "if (texture_num == texture_total - 1)".

I'm a little lost here. I don't see where the timer funtion was ever introduced into the script? So as to return to the 1st texture or a specific texture after so long of inactivity.
