Hey guys. I cant find anything that will do this, and Ive been thru the forums all morning... So here's what I need... A script that will play a sound every hour on the hour according to SL time. (well I guess any time would do since its hourly heheheh) Help ?  |

integer SecHr = 3600;
default
{
state_entry()
{
integer time = (integer)llGetWallclock();
integer nexthr = SecHr - (time % Sechr);
llSetTimerEvent(nexthr);
}
timer()
{
llPlaySound("sound",1.0);
llSetTimerEvent(SecHr);
}
}

This is certainly the right idea. How accurate do you need? If it needs to be more accurate, then perhaps you should check more often. Another approach, in words, not LSL, would be forever
{
compute time to next hour
sleep for that length of time
do something
} again, if you need accuracy, you might want to wake up and recompute more often. |

Teh code should work to within a few seconds which I hope is accurate. Not sure if a sleep would be less of a resource hog than a timer since it wouldnt use an overt event. ? |

Well idealy what i would like it to do is play a sound pretty regularly on the hour ( for this purpose, a bell tower for a clock) . So it would need to be pretty accurate. Also for bonus points, if theres some little script wiz out there that could tell me how to get it to play the sound based on the hour (1pm would play the sounds once, 4pm plays it 4x etc.....) that would sooooo rock |

if(hrs > 12)hrs -= 12;
while(hrs)
{
llPlaySound("sound",1.0);
llSleep(2);
--hrs;
}
}
}

There's a small problem with the script. It should be: integer nexthr = SecHr - (time % SecHr); Note the case of "H" in the second instance of the var SecHr. - i |
