I m looking to do 2 things. I saw the flower feet where you walk and partcle flowers pop up. And I wanna do that with Fire leave trails behind me. Also I wanna have one where I walk and Ice foot prints and Snow flakes are left behind when the AV walks.. I have no clue how to do this....Any Ideas?

well you will need a drop particle script, and you will need textures.

So, particles emitting from feet? An add-on to this would be to rez prims with flame textures, but that'd be spammage, which isn't very nice.

I'm guessing you'd want to use a method alike a flight booster, so when the owner has pressed the FORWARD key the particles emit until they stop.

Hmm.., Main script:

CODE
default
{
    on_rez(integer tn)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(0, "", llGetOwner(), "");
    }

    listen(integer c, string n, key id, string mes)
    {
        if(llToLower(mes) == "/flame on")
        {
            llOwnerSay("Flame Particles Enabled.");
            llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
        }
        if(llToLower(mes) == "/flame off")
        {
            llOwnerSay("Flame Particles Disabled.");
            llReleaseControls();
        }
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if(perm & PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS)
        {
            llTakeControls(CONTROL_UP|CONTROL_DOWN|CONTROL_FWD|CONTROL_BACK|CONTROL_ROT_LEFT|CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT, TRUE, TRUE);
        }
    }
    control(key id, integer level, integer edge)
    {
        if(level & CONTROL_FWD)
        {
                llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, 0, "flame_on", NULL_KEY);
        }
        if(level & CONTROL_BACK)
        {
                llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, 0, "flame_off", NULL_KEY);
        }
    }
}


And then another script within the same prim which would recieve the Linked Message using:

CODE
link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string str, key id)
    {
        if (str == "flame_on")
        {
                //do particles
        }
        if (str == "flame_off")
        {
                llParticleSystem([]);
        }
    }


You may be getting ahead of yourself here if you're not sure what to do with this. But heck have a go.

I have a solution to this that's MUCH simpler, and it has a funny story behind it too but I'll save that for after I show the script to you, just stick this in your shoes and edit as nessisary

CODE
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(.3);
    }

    timer()
    {
        string anim = llGetAnimation(llGetOwner());
        if ((anim == "Running"))
        {
            SetupParticles();
        }
        else
        {
            llParticleSystem([]);
        }
    }
}


This is an altered footprint script I made for use with the Lost Furries cheetah avatars that makes a dustcloud behind them when they run (one they use is incredably ugly, so I made my own). Can make it check for Walking, but I'd need to look up the names of other movements.
