How to make a Tummy Talker

I am looking to learn as well as looking to hire and am completely lost I get far to confused far to easily. Any help would be well appreciated.

What is a "Tummy Talker"?

It's a scripted prim that periodically chats messages about how the baby in the avatar's tummy is feeling. I assume it's the result of careless use of XCite's products.

So you attach a prim with an annoying repeated chat message ..... save us.

ETA: Sorry... personal value judgment there....

lol

Given that SL physics is somewhat idiosyncratic, I suppose it's no surprise that SL biology is too; talking gastric pregnancies indeed!

For free:

list foetus_talk = ["I think, therefore I am.", "Where's the pub?", "Will I be adult rated when this is over?"];

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello, Mummy!");
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSay(0, llList2String (foetus_talk, (integer) llFrand (llGetListLength (foetus_talk))));
    }
}

lol @ EF... that at least is amusing... also needed is "I am in your tummy, tap dancing on your bladder"

Have to agree here. Why do you need it to talk is it so ppl who cant see the avs shape know you are in the club?

Im In Ur Belly, Givin U Stretchmarks!

Oh, and my assistance for such a project is:

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DON'T!!!!!!!!!!

Oh gawd is that ever right, the things are annoying as heck! especially when you are in a crowd maybe with a speaker you are trying to follow and ever 2 minutes you see in local chat something like;

TUMMY TALKER: you feel a kick as your little miracle inside of you moves his little leg!

I think it sould be changed to;

TUMMY TALKER: "your little BRAT that should have retro-abortion krapped it's diapers for the 15th time today and needs to be changed IMMEDIATELY! IMMEDIATELY! IMMEDIATELY!"

SPARE us please and don't create any more of those annoying talkers unless they do the chat dialogue to private IM to the tummy OWNER!

No need to use private IM (with its 2 second delay) when llOwnerSay will work and spare the rest of us from hearing this godawful nonsense.

You know, this makes me want to make an invisible phantom follower that latches onto people who have chatty attachments and have the follower impersonate the chatty attachment. Now the question is, could you make a chat bot that would say similar things but would mock the owner?

even more fun would be to have the chat bot register when the tummy talks and make fun of them both

One thing that would make your tummy talker more socially acceptable is if you use llOwnerSay() rather than llSay(). The first one speaks only to the owner, not to everyone in hearing distance.

llOwnerSay("Mommy, I don't want to come out!"

.

stop giving me ideas lol

I've got a brilliant one, the *Snickers* - Evil Pregnant Tummy Talker.

It says stuff like,

Innula is horrified at what passes for life growing inside her.
Innula feels the tiny cloven feet kicking her mercilessly.
Innula was knocked up by Lucifer's brother in a New York City back alley.
Innula prays her unborn child will not grow up to be a Linden

I only use it, of course, as a form of protest. Works really well. People turn theirs off so fast.

THIS!! Please...I don't need to know.. and frankly, I don't care.... really.. I don't. If you must do this tummy talker business.. have it clickable for msgs only to your partner or something like that.

Thnks,
Z

ooo... I like it! Both!! We can annoy them...just like they do us! I like the way you think!!

You wouldn't make the follower change its name to match the tummy talker, would you? That would be evil.

LOL yeah, saying stuff like;

"You never really liked that guy who knocked you up and he dumped you, you know!"

"The guy who knocked you up when you were drunk tested herpes positive! it will cost you L$29,400 to get treated!"

What about " Hey mum while dad was doing you did you know his alt was off with your sister?

there's a spider... in the Doomed Spaceship sim (v.NSFW).... and I think someone did some alien chest bursters...

@argent:
well of course you'd change the name... and use Instant message so only the tummy owner would hear it, and a nano prim to make it harder to find (especially if it embeds in the av, giving the same location in the clients that can get position automatically)

Use of these things is grounds for automatic muting and ejection from any land I own, just like Bloodlines. Seriously. Don't.

So, basically this thread is "we don't make Tummy Talkers, we make Tummy Talkers better".

for certain values of "better" lmao
