"Mr. Happy Helmet"

Since this is a PG forum.... Let me put this gently.

I own an adult oriented area... Lately there is a rash of talking attachments... Not the usual kind... One that basically makes fun of the wearers (who I'm pretty sure are mostly not English speakers, or they would take the damn things off right away) and spams the open chat based on key words (it has a poorly written joke for many words that might be said in chat)... The "accessory" calls itself "Mr. Happy Helmet"... If anyone has any information about this thing, please IM me in world.

I would like to know:

1. Who made it, so I can have them beaten up.
2. How I might be able to tell who is wearing them.
3. What they look like, and a sample if possible.

Thanks so very much,
Smith

I can only imagine what an object called "Mr. Happy Helmet" must look like.

I'll bet the owners don't even know they have it on... it may call itself one thing in thier inventory, and rename itself when speaking.

To discover an owner, this should help:

default
 {
 	state_entry()
 	{
 		llListen(0,"Mr. Happy Helmet", NULL_KEY, "")
 	}
 	
 	listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg)
 	{
 		key hh_owner = llGetOwnerKey(id); // Key of the speaking object's owner
 		string hh_owner_name = llKey2Name(hh_owner); // Name of the speaking objects owner if owner is in sim.
 		llOwnerSay("Mr. Happy Helmet spoke - owner name: " + hh_owner_name);
 	}
 }

couple of questions from a scripting novice.

Will this detect even if the object is worn as an attachment?
Will this detect if a child prim is doing the talking?
Can this be coerced into providing the name of the attachment responsible? perhaps by using some "llKey2Name(id)"? (if it's a hidden child prim, in let's say.. a free penis, can this script determine things like where the object is attached? or the parent prim's name?)

or if the child prim's name is just "" and it's speaking with llSay(0, "/me Mister Happy Helmet:....."... is "" all you're going to get back from that script?

It should detect even if the object is worn as an attachment.
And even if a child prim is doing the talking.
I do not think there is any way to know the name or key of the root prim, if the object is a child prim. I could be mistaken though.. If the listen event captures the object key instead of the key of the speaking prim, then you could get the name of the object with llKey2Name.
There is no way (that I know of) to determine where an attachment is attached to.

see the thing is, one of the things I sell.. is genitals. and recently I have seen some really gnasty looking male freebie gennies out there.. not just huge, but kind of warty and diseased looking. Really... gross.. not just "lesbian looking at a penis" *gross* but "my god have you seen a doctor?" *GROSS*. With textures like cold oatmeal.

But I see these things on noobs.. and ususally not the best users of the Queen's English... and I wouldn't be surprised at all if something like this had a hidden prim in it called "" waiting to smart off some comments at or in lieu of the unsuspecting horny foreign noob.

Problem is, the master prim (and thus the object) is probably called something like "Freebie Member" or something appropriate to the task at hand. (ew.. did I just say.... erm.. nevermind)

Anyways.. it wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out that this gnasty piece of work was actually a huge greifing prank unleashed on the "non-american-male noobs". My hope would be that the llKey2Name(id) would return the name of the attachment.. allowing one like the OP.. to take the wearer aside, and gently explain to them that they are the target of a prank.. and that the attachment that they think is so great, is actually making a laughing stock of them.

Whereas.. if all we can tell is the child prim... then it may take some significant trial and error to locate the culprit device. And as there seems to be a language barrier.. it won't be a fast or easy process.

It will detect it if it is worn, yes. It will detect it if it's a child prim, yes.

It relies on the name of the prim being "Mr. Happy Helmet" right now to filter out all the other chatter. If they're using a blank name and "/me"ing it, the llListen will filter it out, and the script will not say anything.

I consider that unlikely. If it turns out to be the case, you'd have to make a much laggier script that is triggered by the phrase or part of the phrase in question anywhere in the chat.

Well I ran into a vendor of these, so know who owns the vendor. Whether that's the creator or not, I'm unsure. IM me if you really want to know

Oh, I don't think the vendor was active, and it had a huge THIS SITE FOR RENT prim covering it.

Winter, you always make me laugh....this REALLY made me laugh

I read this post simply because the title made me chuckle (Brit Humour.... ahh I hear all the Americans sigh)..

I just open History, click the 'offending' objects name from the drop down list and click Mute Resident, then go about my business. I think I have covered all of the Xcite range, spam chat bots and a few residents to boot, but my life is what I make it in SL....

Hello everyone and thanks for your help... I can't get the script to work... says there is a syntax error, and I couldn't script my way out of a paper bag... SOS... I did build a nice lil pecker that I plan to put the script in and give away as a freebie... If anyone can script it to "erupt" upon detecting that damn thing, well, that would just be fun.

Also would be nice if it would IM me and tell me the results in case I'm not online.

the code is missing a semicolon in state_entry

try this

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llListen(0,"Mr. Happy Helmet", NULL_KEY, "");
	}
 
	listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg)
	{
		key hh_owner = llGetOwnerKey(id); // Key of the speaking object's owner
		string hh_owner_name = llKey2Name(hh_owner); // Name of the speaking objects owner if owner is in sim.
		llOwnerSay("Mr. Happy Helmet spoke - owner name: " + hh_owner_name);
	}
} 
 

You are on your own about the erupt part

Thank you so much everyone! There is now a free working "Mr Happy Detector" available at the Kinky Koffee shop at Bella Boardwalk (Bella 209, 8, 22).

As an update, I found the creator of the blasted thing, and I can't have her beaten up because she is a sexy girl. The co-creator is also apparently a sexy girl. What's the world coming to?

I'm still working on the erupt function (version 2.0).

If they've had the trouble that I've had with some of the newbie guys here, I understand completely why they did it!

Smith, havent you been in SL long enough to know that all the really sexy girls are teenaged boys??

Pie, haven't you been in SL long enough to realise they aren't all teenage?

The REAL girls are only kinda sexy, like me! We try not to attract too much unwanted attention.

I'm always suspicious of the Barbies who wear too much bling!

Hey, ya know, I thought they were all soccer moms.

But I'll take a geek girl who doesn't realize how incredibly sexy she is over Barbie any day.

and no taller than 3 feet high!

He had to got there... (grinning)

Lets be honest guys...If that avatar looks really hot and is very sexy then if you are hormonal then you will go along with it...as long as you dont find out that his name is jason and hes a 14 year old hoody from Dagenham you dont really give two figs lol.

I am though amazed by the guys that will actually pay out L$1000 to have brief sexual encounter with a female avatar???.....If they had a little think then they would work out that if they spent that 1000 on doing their own avy up they would get the attention they wanted anyway ..

Has anyone spent any time in Laguna Bay??? I think its so funny too see all these newbys with either plastic penises that are about 2 ft long or none at all hanging around behind this fence where there are sex balls hahahaha....its so embaressing and cringe full - theres often up to 20 guys there all desperatly hoping some nieve newby will oblige lol

What isnt nice though is the way that some guys approach girls ( lets assume they are girls ) and bluntly ask for sex or a sex act and then, when refused give the girl a tirade of abuse and filth.....These are the people that need to be banned from SL as there is no excuse whatsover for verbal sexual abuse.

Owners of various lands like Laguna need to make it clear that this kind of harressment will not be tolerated......In just the same way that Otto and Hope keep Terra free of SL solicitation.

As a relative newcomer to SL while I a very broadminded guy there is still social behaviour that should not be tolerated even on a virtual reality site

Or....the ones with huge ummm racks

As I work during the day in the Building/Construction Industry, I have to accept, that construction is only the second oldest profession in the history of the Human Race, selling sex is the first.
I find it somewhat odd that a guy would want to use a female avatar, or vice versa, however I consider myself quite tolerant of most people 'desires' providing they keep it to themselves or those that share the same, second life is only a reflection of reality.

PSSSSST - hasnt anyone been on SL long enough to remember Pie can be just a lil bit sarcastic ;p

To end all the speculation and rumor, first let me say that I am the one responsible for the creation of Mr Happy Helmet. Yes. It was me. I confess. I did it. But before you send in the hitsquad, let me tell you a little about it.

Mr Happy Helmet was the brainchild of a few escorts tired of the newbies with their "wooden wonders" and their cheesy pick up lines. Armed with a freebie "Pengi the Penguin" script, a freebie penis and a nasty sense of humor we created a joke penis worthy of the newest newbie that ever said, "HaY BaBy, WaNNa &%$@??"

First of all, it's not a freebie. We thought about making them total freebies but we aren't that cruel. We work in the sex industry and we don't want to have to listen to them 24/7 anymore than anyone else does. We sell two versions. One is a copy/no trans (for yourself) and the other is no copy/trans (to give to a friend). All for the amazing price of only L$50 each.

Second, if you read what "Mr Happy Helmet" is actually saying, it is a string of one liner put downs aimed solely at the person who is wearing it. There are over 100 phrases, most keyed to words in chat (the usual ones that always seem to come up in conversations with newbies on the prowl for some nookie) with a few reserved for when someone clicks on it. Think Rodney Dangerfield crossed with Don Rickles attached at the groin. Actually, don't think about it. The thought of Rodney Dangerfield and/or Don Rickles attached to either your groin or each others can lead to mental scarring.

So if you see a naked newbie whose penis says, "That's not how mommy does it" when you touch it you can blame me all you want, but you have to admit it's more interesting than what usually comes out of the average newbie's other end. They were meant to be funny, not annoying, with the joke being on the person wearing it. If we were going simply for annoying we wouldn't have fixed the script so they stopped listening to each other. Otherwise if you had two of them in a room together you risked a one-liner chatspam cascade effect. But I will admit Mr Happy Helmet is one of those products you either love it or you hate it with a passion.

If they bother you simply find it in your chat history and mute the offending member (Congratulations if you caught the double entendre). But if you want one you can look up my profile in world and find a link to a vendor. They make a wonderful gift

Have a nice day
