Can you block sl light?

I have a neighbor who has a small club and the lights from his club shine onto my land. They change colors and get brighter at times.

Is there any way I can block this so I don't see it?

Thanks!

Beyond turning the light settings in Preferences to "Moon and Sun only," my answer is, not that I'm aware of.

Maybe a mega prim (or even 10x10, depending on size of plot) right along the property line, with a nice scene on your side, or even a wall texture.

Let me know if you want some help.

Well, talk to the club owners and see if they will move it so it doesn't come onto your land. If they refuse, put in a ticket with the Lindens, being very specific as to the problem and what you want done to rectify it.

I had a similar problem with someone building and ugly building looming over the border of my property. Get a set of Giant Prims. Texture a nice texture on one side and texture the other as transparent. He can see in but I and my guest cant see out. I used a cloud texture for the imaged side. Make the prim phantom and you can fly right through. That sould do it!

You could always get a gun and fire into their club from your land whenever you see light go into your land.

Otherwise there's the big walls. One thing I'd add to that is make the texture on their side completely clash with what they have on their land.

"Fight annoyance with annoyance" is my motto!

but, but... if the problem is *light*, I don't think it can be blocked with a prim, mega or otherwise (unless this is a new WindLight feature?). I seem to recall, though, that it may be possible to get a prim to radiate *darkness* by setting the Light color to black, which might help.

Perhaps the most satisfying approach, though, would be to help this club follow the path into that special circle of darkness reserved for all clubs. It might help to recruit the other neighbors into extreme but temporary interest in some very physics-intensive hobby, for example.

Absolutely right. Prims do not block light. Any "sunlight through the windows" shadow effect you see in a build is achieved using a textured prim to fake the shadows.



That's interesting, I'll have to try it. It should be noted that prim light comes from a single point, not the entire prim, so the size of the prim does not matter.

Another thing to consider is that each person can only see six light sources at a time (not counting the sun and moon). I'm not sure though if it's the six closest to the av or to the camera. But this might be why having dim or black lights "blocks" a neighbor's lights... it uses up a person's available light slots with invisible light so the neighbor's lights aren't seen.

Doesn't work. My buddy and I tried to make a dark tunnel using that method and it just does nothing. I don't see why they can't make it radiate dark colors. All it is is washing certain colors with the color you chose for your light. I don't see why it wouldn't be hard to do in SL!

I smell a JIRA!!

Oops, I failed to mention... you can cancel out out other prim lighting, but not the sun and moon. For a dark tunnel, the viewer must set their client to midnight AND set the night lighting as low as it will go. Even so, it's hard to get pitch black.

VWR-1582 would allow for both light blocking and adding extra darkness or otherwise eeriness to areas.
