Swati Culcomp Registered User Join date: 31 Oct 2005 Posts: 1	10-31-2005 19:38 I need a script that will make an object disappear when an avatar touches it. I'm sure this is pretty simple, but I need a little help... if you could help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Boom. In which case calling llDie(); instead of llSetAlpha(...) is what you want. _____________________

Cypher Olsen Registered User Join date: 7 Aug 2004 Posts: 54	11-08-2005 22:47 In that case, assuming the objects aren't linked... you'll need to have each object listen on a channel for the 'reappear' command, and then have the main object send that command when the game is over/reset. if it's a timed thing... You could also use llSleep() to make each object reappear after a certain amount of time. making it reappear is as simple as calling llSetAlpha(1.0, ALL_SIDES);
Tateru Nino Girl Genius Join date: 13 Sep 2005 Posts: 312	11-08-2005 22:48 If you want the object to still exist, but be unable to be seen, that's llSetAlpha(). If you want the object destroyed (possibly to be re-rezzed by another object later) you want llDie(). llSetAlpha() changes the transparency of the prim calling it, anywhere between full and none. At full, you cannot see it. At none, it is visibly solid. llDie() destroys the object calling it. Boom. Gone. Left-the-grid. If you want another one something or someone has to rez a replacement. The latter will give you less clutter. Example: Chessboard. A piece is taken, the piece can llDie(). When a new game is started, the board can rez a fresh set of pieces in their starting places. Same chessboard with llSetAlpha(): The piece becomes transparent, and thus invisible, but is still right where it was. When a new game is started, each piece must be restored to visibility and moved back to the starting place. _____________________

One potential problem here is that even though they are transparent they still exist, and will block touches on the object beneath. You may be better rezzing them. To make things easier if the puzzle is something that's complex in three dimensions and easier to lay out by hand than computationally, create a control object that contains copies of all the pieces. After you set up the puzzle, have the control object call llSensor() to get the locations of all the pieces and stick them in a list... CODE touch_start(integer num) { if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()) llSensor("", NULL_KEY, ACTIVE\|PASSIVE\|SCRIPTED, 3.0, PI); else if(game_in_progress) llWhisper(0, "Can't reset a game in progress."); else { integer num = llGetListLength(objList); integer i; vector myPos = llGetPos(); rotation myRot = llGetRot(); for(i = 0; i < num; i+=3) llRezObject(llList2String(objList,i), myPos+llList2Vector(objList,i+1), myRot*llList2Rot(objList,i+2), 0); game_in_progress = 1; } } sensor(integer num) { integer i; vector myPos = llGetPos(); rotation myRot = llGetRot(); for(i = 0; i < num; i++) { string objName = llDetectedname(i); if(llGetInventoryKey(objName)) // It's one of the objects I'm managing... objList += [ objName, llDetectedPos(i)-myPos, llDetectedRot(i)/myRot ]; } }
Michelle Culcomp Registered User Join date: 26 Aug 2005 Posts: 6	11-11-2005 15:24 ok, i'll give these different scripts a try and see what works the way i want it to and then i'll post again to let you know what ended up working for me (and i'll point you to it if you are curious!). thanks so much everyone!!
