No, you aren't. It just makes me sad that you're missing out on what I've found to be a fantabulous forum due to what amounts to some unfortunate circumstances.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Happy to say I haven't a clue what the hell is going on- It is however, 2:30 am - Time Zones SUCK! Did I ever mention time zones suck? 'Cause if not, I want to go on record as saying - Time Zones SUCK!

:(

Back to bed...

You can say that again! lol.

Mornin folks, still thinking about that script...the solution didn't come to me overnight lol. No doubt I will be posting later to find out how to sort it out :rolleyes:

That'll teach me to try to do something I have no knowledge about :o

Ahh well, back to work...

Claire, I script in SL is what you need something I can do for you?

Claire, I script in SL is what you need something I can do for you?

maybe..
My friend made a carousel, and while I'm learning to script he asked me to work out how to make it move etc.
Basically, he wants the horses to move round, and move up and down at the same time, but be able to stop and start it.
I have it sorted where it can move round, just not up and down yet.
I need to work out a movement script that will listen to a typed command.
I've made a script that is set to start when you click it, and when the owner says /55 stop then it stops moving, but I need to know how to change it so it listens to everyone, not just the owner.
I have a feeling that to do that I need to change the llGetOwner() bit, but I'm not sure what to. Once I know this, I can change it so that it can use typed commands to start aswell.
Also, I know the script to move the horses up and down is prolly a variation of the same rotation script, but with limits to how high to move to etc and I can get it to start and stop on the same typed commands but I'm not sure what I need to change in the movement bit. I know this is all pretty basic stuff compared to what some people manage to write.

This is prolly the worst explanation ever, but without being in world I can't post the actual script I have.
I'm determined to get this to work lol. I don't care how long it takes me.

OK to get the script to listen to everyone, change the llGetOwner() to NULL_KEY (type exact). A rotation technique could definitely be used to drive the horses up and down, you would want to do the same thing as you did for moving the carousel round but instead of rotating through the Z-axis you would rotate through the X- or Y-axis depending on orientation of the horses. :)

Don't worry you were reasonably clear and I have an inkling about carousels ;)
Let me know if there is anything else you are stuck on.

oo Gaby, you are a star! lol.

Now I can't wait to get home and try it out lol.

I think I really need to go to a class lol working out how to script by only reading scripts isn't the best way to learn the basics.

You are very welcome, though I didn't really do much, let me know how you get on :)

re Claire's carrousel:

how is the whole structure linked together? The height of the horses could be set directly from the root prim rotation with a little "fancy" math. That would make synchronizing everything largely "mechanical". I'd be happy to elaborate further if you'd like. Depending on how many prims each horse is tho, there may be better ways.

absolutely. i agree with everything you said, and i'm just like that too.

i really am done talking about it. this whole thing is inviting trouble, which i really don't want to see here, as it's unimportant. the wrath of the clique is not something i want to bring down upon this place just because i dared to be different. plus, as unlikely as it is, i may choose to go back there some day, and i don't want to perpetuate something that's forgotten and inconsequential to the grande scheme.

*hugs*

can we just play dollies now?



the heck with dollies! someone make that outfit!!!
and the hair!
and the boots!
or tell me where to get them :D!

Mornin Threadies!

coffee?

*waves to Threadies near and far*

Good morning/afternoon/evening, all!

Maggie, thanks for the cup of Joe. :)

Claire, glad the peeps here are helping you with the script. Hope we can ride on that carousel, lol.

Gabriele, is it still raining?

OK, headed to work - catch you later!

Have some fruit:

That would make synchronizing everything largely "mechanical". I'd be happy to elaborate further if you'd like. Depending on how many prims each horse is tho, there may be better ways.

From what I can tell, there are 3 horses, each 10 prims. Each horse is on a pole attached to a flattend cylinder at the top. I have linked these together with the cylinder ad the root prim and this has the rotation script in it. There is also a basic base and roof with a central pole, but these aren't linked to the horses, as I dont want the whole thing to move, just the horses and linked prims.
I'm not sure where I would put the script to move the horses as they need to be linked to the rotating cylinder, but I just want the horses and pole to move up and down, not the cylinder itself :confused:

I'm having trouble viewing the script while it is in the prim. I have to write it then drop it in to test. Because I don't own the carousel itself it is telling me I do not have the proper permissions....probably a glitch or something, but its easy enough to work around.

the way I was thinking that would need 30 child scripts, prolly no the best plan. Are you in world, or able to be? I'm in the hangout skybox making plywood cubes dance up and down :D

(have I ever mentioned how much I DESPISE that lsl can't do nested linksets???)

Nope, am at work for the next few hours. I'll be online in about 4/5 hours lol...when they finally let me out of this looney bin.
Sometimes I swear I'm the only sane one here...the rest of them are actually working!! :eek:

Morning all!

So, I snuck inworld and I'm in Stiletto Moody shoes and some women IM's me and asks me for $46L to buy shoes. WTF?

Obviously I told her to go beg elsewhere but $46L can't buy you squat in Stiletto. Sheesh. And she wasn't a newb either, her rez date was early 2007. The nerve!
