New XyText: XyzzyText

Hello everyone. Thraxis Epsilon and I have rewritten Xytext with some very neat new features, the primary one being the ability to control an entire linkset from one script!


See here:

Hi! I'm using xyzzy text in a HUD I'm developing. It seems that it works well until I add a 6th row of text. Is there a limitation somewhere that I'm missing?

Also, I've tried to poke around the wiki and forums, and haven't been able to find out what the "display_extended" does.

Any help?

Hello, I'm using Xyzzy text and I would like to know how to handle more than 2 lines. I added a third line and I modified the code as follow, but I can't display the text on the third line. Could you help me ?

listen(integer channel,string name, key id, string message)
{



if (gToggle==0)
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,message,"0";

if (gToggle==1)
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,message,"1";

if (gToggle==2)
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,message,"2";



gToggle=(gToggle+1)%3;

}


PS: Furthermore, I noticed that it is important in which order I select the labels, to display the text in order.

thanks,
Patrick

Sorry for going on with the necropost...

Dominique - that's what I thought, too at first... but the manual for using this script is kinda poor, they simply forgot to tell you that:

When you linked the prims together, you have to issue a «RESCAN_LINKSET» to the whole thing, that'll bring the prims into order. So issue this command first: llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, RESCAN_LINKSET, "", "0"; - this should do the trick...

However, I'm struggling a little myself with this thing... Did anyone get the Fade-thingy to work? I tried llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, SET_FADE_OPTIONS, "1,1.0", "0"; and llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, SET_FADE_OPTIONS, "TRUE,1.0", "0"; but it doesn't work...

The action that would trigger the fade is in PassToRender(...)

if (render == 3)
                RenderWithEffects(link,TextToRender);

But render == 3 never is true, because the command is never issued like that in the rest of the script...


Also the DISPLAY_EXTENDED is a little miracle... I tried to say «hello\eKitty» but the line still get's truncated...

Hey,

Ya, llMessageLinked put in the right order the prisms, thanks.

But, I solved by changing the llMessageLinked parameter to "-1" !! Why does it start from -1 ? I will try to add the fourth line and the fifth one to see what's happen

llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, RESCAN_LINKSET, "", "0";

if (gToggle==0)
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,message,"-1";
if (gToggle==1)
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,message,"0";
if (gToggle==2)
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,message,"1";

This is how I handled multiple rows, I used 4...

   listen(integer channel,string name, key id, string message)
   {
       // If you add more than 4 rows, add additional else if statements and change the incremets accordingly.
       if (gToggle == 0) {
           ++gToggle;
           llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,name + ":"+ message,"0");
       }
       else if (gToggle == 1) {
           ++gToggle;
           llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,name + ":"+ message,"1");
       }
       else if (gToggle == 2) {
           ++gToggle;
           llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,name + ":"+ message,"2");
       }
       else {
           gToggle=!gToggle;
           llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,name + ":"+ message,"3");
       }

   }
