hi.

i just discovered an old bug reported in 2006, but never answered from LL, and so i guess they either don´t care or are unable to fix it.

i made a tandem bicycle and want to give some sort of controlls to both riders, but the moment the 2nd script takes controlls from the 2nd driver, the first script acts crazy.

it´s reported here: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-343

since i spent a load of time on that vehicle which is broken, i would like to know if anyone has ideas to work around this bug without using an attachment.
and please vote if you want it fixed. i dunno how many votes a bug needs to be noticed by LL...

thanks =)

Maybe only allow one person to control things at a time, but put some code in the touch event that tries to steal the controls away. That way the couple can share (fight) with the controls. :P

my goal was a shared experience for 2 friends, the bike goes faster if both accelerate, and also both drivers can trigger 9 different stunts, and it was very cool in theory to combine those.

that even worked in the testing, just the driving gets screwed up by this bug (on,off,on,off.... ect)

I can't think of a way around it other than negotiating using an attachment. :\
Maybe someone else has a novel idea.

actually an attachment with communications seems like a brilliant idea for the second rider

If you use the butt-attach vehicle trick, you can do it with the attachment and have a thoroughly tricked-out bike with flexi tassels on the handlebars and everything.

i wanted to create a very easy to use bike, and didnt want any attachments, but now i use a hud attachment for the 2nd driver, and it works pretty good :)

thanks for the replys :)
