My first script ever - water on/off

Apologies in advance for my novice questions...

Building my first script ever, a pretty straight forward water on/off. Having two problems, one with the script and one with the prims.

On Prims: Need the prim to be 100% transparent to start, can't get it to go beyond 90% in the edit/texture tab.

On Script: How do I get it to apply to a set of linked objects? Its currently only applying to the prim root.

Hi Cristos.

You can set the transparency of any prim with a script, all the way to 100%, and in fact apply it to all the linked prims as well. Here's what you'd use:

llSetAlpha

llSetLinkAlpha
http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llSetLinkAlpha


Hope that helps some.

No apologies needed. There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.

Actually, that one's easy: Use llSetAlpha(0.0, ALL_SIDES) in the on_rez event handler ... the function is pretty well described in the Wiki.

I haven't used it myself, but llSetLinkAlpha() ought to do the trick ... details here. Quote: "This function allows setting an entire object in one call rather than being forced to use a for loop."

Good luck!

Anti, Ricky,

Thanks to both for responding, worked like a charm. Much appreciated!

Spoke to soon, LOL.

So the original stated problem is solved.

Now how do I link the linked water (on/off script embedded) to the tap without the script affecting the tap?

Best,

Cristos

Depending on how mnay prims in your tap. If teh tap is a single prim then rather than using LINK_SET use LINK_ALL_OTHERS and have the script in the tap.

If the water is a single prim then just use its link number in the calls.
