Can someone explaine to me how you can lightien and darken windows using a single and or multiple controlers. I have a houe that has some windows that lighten and darken and some that do not. I would like to re write the script to include all the windows i have or only some of them. I would have to rewrite the script because the original one is locked out.
Thanks

Err.... What exactly do you mean?
Are you talking about the Windows API, or about HUD, or what? _____________________

Winston, windows are darkened by adjusting theit transparency.So each window would containg a script that uses llSetAlpha to adjust its darkness.
There are a few ways to get the commands from the controller to the windows. If the controller and all the windows are all linked together (probably as part of the house linksets) then you can use llMessageLinked, otherwise you could have each window listen on a private channel, and have the controller shout to them. |

In particular, there is no llSetLinkTexture, even though we've wanted it for a *long* time. _____________________
