Making my avatar’s body disappear?

I'm currently working on an avatar design that requires the body to be transparent. Thus the normal avatar body can not be there. Any idea how I can achieve this? I might not even be in the right forum so please point me in the right direction.

You need something called an 'Invisiprim' to do this. If I'm not mistaken, if you search the Scripting Tips forum, there are open scripts available to accomplish this.

EDIT: Check out these links for info/background:

To reiterate...the above is correct. There is a texture that can be applied to a prim to cause it to make an avatar invisible (along with a lot of other stuff) As far as I know it's only appliable via a script as I've never seen the actual texture other than the normal alpha ones which will only make the side that the texture is on invisible.

Thanks for the help. Do I just place this script on a piece of clothing?

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetAlpha(0.0, ALL_SIDES);
}
}

I read though the other link you posted. Did they fix the bug yet?

Just to be clear, that script using the llSetAlpha only makes a prim invis, it doesn't help in hiding the avatar. What you want is what is known as a 'invisiprim' which uses a special system texture accessibly only using the llSetTexture command, along with some other settings, to hide the avatar body. Do note, however, there are some unexpected side effects, such as any texture behind this 'invisiprim' that has any transparency to it at all, will also be rendered invisible.. You can setup a wall and anyone walking behind it will dissapear except for attachments.

Geez I might as well forget about it. I just wish there was a button that made body parts go away. Is that so wrong?

I know there is a way to make your body really small. Maybe I can hide the avatar that way. Has anyone tried this? Can someone quickly shoot me a link on how to make my avatar small?

If i wern't so busy with so many other projects, I had thought of making one avatar that requires my legs to dissapear (and be replaced with something else).. I was gonna have a big prim right behind me, so My thought was to use the animation or pose making software that I keep seeing hyperlinked everywhere and just tuck my legs behind me..

I could imagine seeing that animation without the prim behind me.. would look like my legs snapped in place.

Also, I'm not sure if that would work, but it was something I was wanting to try. maybe someday I'll get a chance to give it a go and find out.
