Setting up multipal timers...

hi I am throwing together a little prim to stream some web based MP3's. I want to set the time of each in a timer so it will advance to the next track, but I am not having any luck. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Seperate states are your best friend. Every time you want a new timer, have the LAST timer go to a different state.

default

{

     state_entry()

        {

            llSetTimerEvent(time);

        }

    timer()

        {

            stuff
            state Number1; // You can name the state anything, really.  This makes it move
                                  // to whatever state you specify.

        }

}

state Number1

{

{

     state_entry()

        {

            llSetTimerEvent(time);

        }

    timer()

        {

            stuff
            state Number2; // You can name the state anything, really.  This makes it move
                                  // to whatever state you specify.  This will head to the next state.

        }

}

state Number2

{

     state_entry()

        {

            llSetTimerEvent(time);

        }

    timer()

        {

            stuff
            state Number3; // You can name the state anything, really.  This makes it move
                                  // to whatever state you specify.

        }

}

You can keep adding new states pretty much indefnately. But, when it comes to states, you CANNOT have a state call itself. Also, I believe that you'll need multiple scripts for multiple timers.

As for mp3s, add some blank space to the beginning and end of each clip and then Time them to overlap on the dead time. It might take some twinking, but it works.

Thank you! I will get right on testing this.

Hmm, you might want to take a different approach to that, try this:

list SONG_DATA = [
// Song URL, Song Length
"http://myWebsite.com/song1.mp3", 3.05,
"http://myWebsite.com/song2.mp3", 3.45];
integer songIndex = 0;

default {
    state_entry() {
        llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
    }
    timer() {
        string songURL = llList2String(SONG_DATA, songIndex);
        float songLength = llList2Float(SONG_DATA, songIndex + 1);
        llSetTimerEvent(songLength);
        llSetParcelMusicURL(songURL);
        songIndex += 2;
        if (songIndex >= llGetListLength(SONG_DATA))
            songIndex = 0;
    }
}

Hi Chris!

Yes this certainly is a much cleaner way of doing things for sure and after playing with you code I see how it is working... I think... ;0)

Some things I would like to ask... If I wanted to add the song title I could do so like this:

"http://myWebsite.com/song1.mp3", 3.05, "Song1.MP3",

And then use a llSetText that parses the string above? looking for the 3rd part?

How about a way to stop the loop? I can add a listen I guess, hate to do it for this... maybe something to edit in the header? a loop/no loop?

Thanks for all your help!

How about using a dialog menu for that? You have to use a listener, but you'd only have to open one temporarily to get the menu command, then close it again after the command is complete. It's a little more advanced, but not by much.

im lazy and would add another list named title then llSay(0,(llList2String,title,songindex));
