Scriping: Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hello All,

I've been scratching my head on this issue and thought i'd share it will you all;

I have a rotating object - I want to have a slider/button which when touched can increase / decrease the speed of the rotating object

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Any advise is welcomed

Thank you - thank you - thank you!

You might want to try the llDetectedTouch*() functions. They are good for things like "sliders". You could probably set a texture offset to indicate the slider's "current position". llDetectedGrab() can sometimes be useful as well, but you'll have to play with it.

Seems like a lot of work. It would be much easier to use chat commands.

Points to the right. Is that the right direction?

You could try using llTargetOmega() with a smooth rotation. Paste the below script onto a simple box, touch and hold it to increase the speed. When the speed goes up to 10.0, it will then drops back to 0.0 and repeat.



float speed = 0.0;
default
{
state_entry()
{
}
touch(integer int)
{
speed += 0.1;
if (speed > 10.0)
speed = 0.0;
llTargetOmega(<0.0,0.0,1.0>,speed,1.0);
}
}

Thanks for the posts!

btw, please do us all a favor and put your subject in the thread subject.

Nearly all the posts on this thread are "please help me with scripting", so try to be a little more helpful, like "controlling rotations with slider or button". A moment of your time saves time on the part of lots of others who may or may not be interested in or knowledgeable on your issue. And it makes it more likely for you to catch the attention of someone who can help you.

Thanks, and welcome to the SL forums!

*Points to the left* Is that any better?

Yes it would be easier for YOU to write a chat control. That way you can put all the work onto users of your scripts instead of taking the time to give them a clean UI and make their SL experience more pleasant.
