i am using cubey terra's magic carpet script to run this thing. and all worked fine, until i put a blink-synchronizing script into the turtle. this script sends a link message that the eyelids respond to, to blink in synch at random intervals.
the culprit isn't the link message, but apparently the blinking eyelids themselves. they are cut spheres that change the cut to open/close the lids. when these blink (or unblink), they send a changed state to the magic carpet code of 36. i've tried telling the magic carpet to ignore changes #36, but i still get booted off the turtle.
as a matter of fact, the change seems to boot me off before the changed call is finished, otherwise llGetAvatarSitOnTarget() shouldn't return NULL_KEY.
does anybody have ANY idea what's going on and/or (better yet) how to fix it???!
pertinent magic carpet code:
CODE
// DETECT AV SITTING/UNSITTING AND GIVE PERMISSIONS
changed(integer change)
{
llOwnerSay("change: changed link status="+(string)change);
agent = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
{
if((agent == NULL_KEY) && (sit))
{
//
// Avatar gets off vehicle
//
llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, FALSE);
llStopAnimation("meditation");
llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 0, "unseated", "");
llStopSound();
llReleaseControls();
sit = FALSE;
listenState(FALSE);
}
else if ((agent != NULL_KEY) && (!sit))
{
//
// Avatar gets on vehicle
//
pilot = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
sit = TRUE;
llRequestPermissions(pilot, PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS | PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
listenState(TRUE);
llWhisper(0,"O Master of Wind and Wave, "+llKey2Name(pilot)+", command me as you will. Should you need assistance, please speak the word HELP.");
llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 0, "seated", "");
}
}
}
