I am new to SL Scripting and have been tasked by my school to create a training session inside Second Life. (Hooray, me! <sigh>  The setup is this: Suppose I have a "master object"..say a desk..that is rez'd up. It has, in its inventory, another object which is just a "cut out" of a person. When clicked, I would like the desk to rez-up the cut-out and place it before the desk. 1: Can I do that? Carrying on... (and I'm not sure yet exactly what I'm going to be doing, so these are only "suppose" examples). Suppose now that the user is talking (however I might manage THAT feat) and the script decides that the "cut out" should leave. I'm pretty sure I can use some sort of llDie command to de-rez the cut outl. BUT...after the cut out is gone I want a DIFFERENT cut out to appear. Assuming this 2nd cut out is also in the desk's inventory... 2: Is there a way to send a message from one object "on the map" to another object that is also "on the map" but aren't linked? 3: Failing that, is there a way to rez-up the first cut out and have it linked to the desk so that that inter-object messages can be sent using that method? Thanks for the insights. ---Bahaar Babcock |

Sure.. Check out http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlRezObject on how to rez stuff from an objects inventory. For object/object comms, using some form of chat is probably your best bet, if the objects are in the same region. See the topics under http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Communications . |

Not really much to add there, except that it is good to remember that you can pass one integer to the rezzed object as a parameter without any sort of chat - and quite a bit can be stored in one integer. (At the least, you can store a channel that it should listen on for further instructions.)

Also, for a cut out, which I assume is a single prim object, you might simply make it a part of the desk and show/hide/retexture it when appropriate. Showing and hiding it can be done with transparency (e.g. llSetAlpha()), and/or you could move the cut out child prim in and out of the the desk's shape to hide it completely.

Thank you all for the insight. I'll get busy studying the links and working out a solution.
