Wanted: attachment-animated script (i.e. like a wheelchair) and typing particle

i would like to have an animation that works with an object (i.e. wheelchair). does someone have that script?

and

i am also looking for typing particle script that i can make my own texture and when i type the particle will appear then fade away after i type.

please contact me in-world or reply here thank you.

Wrong forum, try the Products Wanted forum.

if that were the case wouldn't that be the majority of all the threads created in this section?

Well no. THis is Scripting Tips, which is for people either learning to script, need help with a script or people who wish to discuss specific script bugs or how to script more efficiently. This isn't the correct place to just ask someone to give you a script even if you would be willing to pay.

We would be glad to help you learn thou. That is what we do.

Want to learn how to create it?

no because this is the scripting help forum, not products wanted as you want a premade script, wich is a product

sure i want to learn how to make it thanks

yes a premade script that i can modify for my personal use

If you are asking for particles that fly around etc when you start typing then the best place to go would be The Particle Laboratory. It has multiple stations setup and you can see how to control every aspect of particles. He also has a couple of different versions of free particle scripts there. Absolutely an unbelieveable amount of easy to follow info there.

Look at this wiki page on llGetAgentInfo:

http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llGetAgentInfo

You are going to have to llSetTimerEvent to check every couple of seconds if:

if (llGetAgentInfo(llGetOwner()) & AGENT_TYPING)

trigger particles..........

Tie that into the particle script to start and stop it only when you are typing.


Are you asking for an animation so that it looks like your arms are puching the wheelchair wheels or are you asking about creating a physical vehicle that you can roll around in?

The animation is a whole nother ball of wax created from one of a few different animation programs. The animation Tips forum could point you in the right direction there.

For a physcial vechicle you could just use the basic script everyone has in the library section of you inventory or some of the freely available ones scattered around. Try looking in the Scripting Library Forum.

Either way is going to be quite a learning expirience but we are always here to help get you back on track if you get lost.

ok i will take an example

say i wanted to lay on a stretcher with wheels

the animation is just a person laying on the stretcher messing with the iv but without a poseball. and the stretcher is attached to your pelvis. and the stretcher can move like a vehicle and tp like regular clothes or an attachment. does that make sense?

I have been thinking of how to respond for an hour and a half now without discouraging you. It all depends on what you want to do in SL and how you want to spend your free time. From what you are describing and if you want to do it yourself then you are going to have to learn scripting, animating, some building and if you want spoke wheels instead of solid or want to get fancy with the gurney, then Photoshop too. We are talking a couple hundred hours of work just learning more then the basics.

Anyone can learn anything here but it takes time. A lot of time to get to some level of proficiency. I had no scripting expirience a little over a year and a half ago yet now I can script anything. But look closely at my post count..................... Each of those posts counts for at least 1 hour spent in these forums and scripting. That's right, 3 hours or more a day. But I do it because I LOVE it and it is rewarding.

I only dedicated about a hundred hours or so to animations because I just didn't care for it, this despite the fact that I have a few hundred dollars of animation software at my fingertips. I have only spent 20 or 40 hours at Photoshop even though I have a copy, yet I couldn't for the life of me sit down and do an alpha channel again without spending a few more hours, doesn't appeal to me.

Some people read the stories and expect to come in and make a full time living in SL. With only a handful of exceptions, this is not true. People count thier blessings if they make enough money to just pay tier and each like me has dedicated a considerable number of hours getting to that point. Each of those hours would have netted us much more money in RL working. Not saying you are expecting to make money off of this but while I was on the subject of time spent in game.............

So again, what is it you are interested in learning? If animating then tackle that and then hire a scripter to do the scripting part. If scripting then hire an animator to create a one off for you. But if you really want this total package right now and would rather spend time exploring this vast world, meeting people and getting a feel for what you do like then I would suggest again just placing an add in Products Wanted.

i have already made an animation as to what i want to use. i also built what i wanted to use. i just want to synthesize them both together. i will place in the wanted section thank you
