Group only sit-on

Hi there...

I have this chair, that I got some place... It's really cool and has some nice sit-anims. I need to make it group only though. The thing is... the scripts in the chair are not modifiable... but the chair itself is... So here's my question: Can I put a script in the chair that will make it possible only for group members to sit in it? And what should that script look like?

Hi Jonesey,

I just wrote this script. I'm not inworld atm and wrote it here, but it should work. I'll test it out when I get a chance

Well... It does check for the group... but if I dont have the group tag on, it shoulf unsit me... and it doesnt... any solutions?

Here you go:

Smithy, thanks, of course I didnt think of that myself...
1 more problem: it does unsits me when i dont have the group active... but only once in a while (like every second/third time)... not every time...

Add a llSleep(0.5) before the llUnsit() and it should unsit the avatars that do *not* have the proper group tag active more reliably.

I was trying the script above and notice when I added the llSleep(0.5)
anyone that is having problems with it might want to add a ; after the sleep
like this
llSleep(0.5);


hope that helps someone... trying to be helpful...if that is wrong someone pls correct me ...I will fix my post...

Setting a sit target may interfere with what the existing scripts are doing as they must also be setting a sit target... otherwise they wouldn't function correctly. The new script should still pick up the change event and unsit correctly.

Also, llAvatarOnSitTarget and llUnSit, work with keys therefore 'person' should be defined as a key - or are keys and strings really interchangeable?

And finally - sorry about this! - the change event would normally check for if(change & CHANGED_LINK) with respect to seating arrangements, so I submit...

key person;

default
{
    on_rez(integer start)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }

    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "on");
    }

    changed(integer c)
    {
        if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
        {
            person = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
            if (person != NULL_KEY)
                if(llSameGroup(person)) llSay(0, "You are in the right group!");
                else
                {
                    llSleep(0.5); // not entirely convinced this is required
                    llUnSit(person);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

EDIT: oops, thought of another thing!

If the avatar unseats themselves we also need to check person hasn't become NULL_KEY or a nasty warning triangle will appear.

If I'm not mistaken, you need llSitTarget to detect the key of the avatar sitting. Sorry, if I'm mistaken, but there is a quote below from the LSL Wiki.

You are correct... but the existing script(s) must already be setting a sit target and not necessarily with: (<0.0, 0.0, 0.1>, ZERO_ROTATION)

llSitTarget is a property of the prim and not the script.

This really helped me out guys. Thanks a lot

Hmmmm.... I was a bit too fast there... it still doesnt work... now it doesnt even verify that im in the group....

/Jonesey

...or do you mean it doesn't compile?

key person;

default
{
    on_rez(integer start)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "on");
    }
    
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
        {
            person = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
            if (person != NULL_KEY)
            {
                if(llSameGroup(person)) llSay(0, "You are in the right group!");
                else
                {
                    //llSleep(0.5); // not entirely convinced this is required
                    llUnSit(person);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This one is tested. It also seems to work fine without the llSleep (quicker unsit too).

You do know that a lot of code in here gets written on the back of a fag packet?
