Help with sounds

Hi, sorry Llauren you lost me on this one, could you explain a bit more your thought on this.

I can live without the licking himself as that maybe more of an animation thing. But i have two poses of him now one staring at food bowl and randomly meowing (ty guys) and one of him on his back snoring. I am trying to figure out a way to rezz these two items randomly so at any given time he maybe sleeping or he may be waiting for food.

I wouldnt even know where to begin animating this. rezzing two objects randomly seemed more tangible.


Thanks for all your help and input so far.

um...

no not at all...lol

other than the headache i got from that just now...the laggy part is what i am hoping to avoid.

I use zero prim rezzers all over my property and that is where i got the idea about just rezzing a couple of objects.

Meanwhile i was checking out Hiro's vendor script but i think this is more than i am capable of doing on my own.

anyway thanks abunch for all your help Llauren! : )

What? huh?? Did someone say something??? heehee
You could make a prim named "cat rezzer", make it invisible and put this script in. It is made for 3 different cats. Every 3 minutes a cat will have to die though and a new one is rezzed. (Please do not tell the PETA!!!)

integer cat = 0;
float time = 180.0;

neTimed()
{
	llRezObject((string)llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, cat), llGetPos(), ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, 42);
}

default {
    touch_start(integer num_detected)
	{
        neTimed();
        llSetTimerEvent(time);
		
    }
    timer() {
	llSay(-1032, "Die Cat Die");
	if(cat != 2){
		cat = cat + 1;
	}
	else {
		cat = 0;
	}
        neTimed();
    }
}

and in each cat:

default {
    state_entry(){
                llListen( -1032, "cat rezzer", NULL_KEY, "" );
	}
	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message){
		if(message == "Die Cat Die"){
			llDie();
		}
	}
}

The code could handle a lot of improvements. Frand and a random cat integer would be nice but I didn't know how to do it yet. Probably want to go longer then 3 minutes too? Could have made the if test integer the quantity of inventory objects minus one to be flexible. So basically I could have done a lot more but I have been busy bug hunting in Beta all day. Plus I have been wanting to use the command "Die Cat Die" for sooooooo long now.

Edit: Ah just thought of something. Now it would be kind of cool if the cat vanished and then rezzed in a different location within the 10 meter limit. But that would work on the lawn and not in the house. Unless you wanted to store different locations like maybe the floor, counter top etc.

Hello,

Thankyou guys for all your help. Jesse's script works, but the cat rezzes out of position, in otherwords, not the position he is in when i place the script in him.

does: ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, 42

that part of the script control positioning?

thanks for all the hand holding...he he

I mos def own you guys some steak dinner.

Change this line:

llRezObject((string)llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, cat), llGetPos(), ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, 42);

to:

llRezObject((string)llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, cat), llGetPos() + <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, 42);

You will need to adjust these numbers for the position ; <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>.
Thank you for the offer but this isn't done till the fat cats sings!!!. (OMG that was bad) LOL

eeeek! don't know why it keeps doing that. It should be INVENTORY_OBJECT with no spaces

Jesse,

Wow you have put some work into this project!

I took a pic for clarification. the position i spoke of was the way the cat rezzes and not so much its proximity to the rezzer. I included a link to a pic showing two cats same model next to each other.

The cat on the right is correct and sits up right. the cat on the left is slumped and buried...that one is the one that rezzed.

so the alignment is off not the proximity, but the ability to adjust the proximity is a plus also.

hope the pic helps, and you can see sebastian now...lol
...and yes, he REALLY is that fat...

OMG Sebastian is soooooo cute!!!!!!!!!

I help because I can. I have no real previous experience in scripting and don't know any other languages. But because of the help of so many here in Scripting Tips I can do alot now. Of course one name always comes to mind and that is Newgate Ludd!!!!!! So for the scripting questions that I do know the answer for, I pop in and try to take the load off of the more advanced scripters. Plus it is fun and helps me learn more anyway.

Okay now that that is out of the way. To make Sebastian rezz correctly in different forms you will need to create a small invisible prim with ZERO_ROTATION and make it the root prim. Just FYI the root prim is the last prim selected when linking. You would also want to make this prim all the same height in each version of the cats so that when they rezz they still all rez on the same plane. Take the "DIE CAT DIE" script out of the existing cats and put back in this prim too.

After doing that then Sebastian in all of his fat, glorious forms will rez in the right spot and rotation. ENJOY!!!!!!!

Could use temp on rez and just let them disappear of their own accord every minute or so....



Thanks for the high praise Jesse, but I really cant take credit for your ability to learn.
I just enjoy helping and scripting. And like you say, explaining or solving problems often improves your own skills.

jesse ty again.


one last bit, but this is minor i think. The die cat die script isnt removing the former cat when the new one appears. i came in today to find that my 3000 plus prim property had 3 prims left...lol. so 45 mins of "killing da kitties" and i followed your instructions with the invisible prim. the cats are now positioning correctly. woot!

is there anything i need to specify in the die cat die script to make it eliminate the last one?


: ) i musta killed a hundred cats today...i feel so bad...he he

Well Cats Have Nine Lives After All......

Did you remember to name the rezzer "cat rezzer" with no quotation marks? I made the "Die Cat Die" script listen only to an object named that.

I will try to work on mouse rezzer to give Fat Cat some exersize

Was thinking about a dog to chase him too....

My twist on Jesse's idea, have the cats kill themselves

Rezzer script

integer cat = 0; 
integer maxcats = 0;

default 
{ 
    state_entry()
    {
        maxcats = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_OBJECT);
    }
	
    touch_start(integer num_detected) 
    { 
        state running;
    } 

    changed(integer change) 
    { 
        // Test for a changed inventory 
        if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY) 
        { 
            llResetScript(); 
        } 
    } 
} 

state running 
{ 
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
    }
	
    touch_start(integer num_detected) 
    { 
        llSetTimerEvent(0); 
        state default;
    }

    timer() 
    { 
        integer num = cat;
        while(num == cat)num = (integer)llFrand(maxcats);
        cat = num;
		
        llRezObject((string)llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, cat), llGetPos() + <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, 42); 
		
        llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(300)+30); 
    } 

	
    changed(integer change) 
    { 
        // Test for a changed inventory 
        if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY) 
        { 
            llResetScript(); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Cat Script

default 
{ 
    state_entry() {  llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(200)+30); } 
	
    timer() { llDie(); } 

} 

P.S. Sorry I'm late replying.......

Now I don't know which idea I feel worse about. Cat murder or feline assisted suicide.

ohhhh Feline mass murderers....
