This is supposed to turn on/off particle flow using chat.
I can't seem to get it to work.

Anyone have an answer...please.


integer listenHandle;

Start() //Start Function.
{
llParticleSystem([
PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE, 1.500000,
PSYS_PART_FLAGS, 291,
PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <1.00000, 1.00000, 1.00000>,
PSYS_PART_END_COLOR, <1.00000, 1.00000, 0.00000>,
PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <1.0000, 1.00000, 0.00000>,
PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <0.60000, 0.60000, 0.00000>,
PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, 8,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE,0.001000,
PSYS_SRC_ACCEL,<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000>,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT,1,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RADIUS,0.000000,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MIN,0.900000,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MAX,3.300000,
PSYS_SRC_INNERANGLE,0.000000,
PSYS_SRC_OUTERANGLE,0.000000,
PSYS_SRC_OMEGA,<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000>,
PSYS_SRC_MAX_AGE,0.000000,
PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA,0.000000,
PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA,1.000000,
PSYS_SRC_TEXTURE, "",
PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY,(key)"" ]);
}


default
{
state_entry()
{
Start();
listenHandle = llListen(20,"","","off";); //Listens for the off command
}

listen( integer chan, string name, key id, string msg ) //Turn particles off.
{
llListenRemove( listenHandle );
Start();
}
}


state off
{
state_entry()
{
llParticleSystem([]); //Stop making particles
listenHandle = llListen(20,"","","on";); //Listen for the on command
}

listen( integer chan, string name, key id, string msg ) //Turn particles back on
{
llListenRemove( listenHandle );
state default; //Switch back on
}
}

Maybe this:

From: someone

listen( integer chan, string name, key id, string msg ) //Turn particles off.
{
llListenRemove( listenHandle );
Start();
}
}


Should be:

From: someone

listen( integer chan, string name, key id, string msg ) //Turn particles off.
{
llListenRemove( listenHandle );
state off;
}
}

The state change btw will automatically release your listens for you.

Hi there!,


You've not called 'state off' after calling Start();


So it should look like this:

listen( integer chan, string name, key id, string msg ) //Turn particles off.
{
llListenRemove( listenHandle );
Start();
state off; // RED ALERT! RED ALERT!! RED ALERT!!
}
}

Was this always the case? I read that elsewhere but I do not think it was like that before.

The change happened about 3 years ago. If they changed it now it would break alot of scripts.
