I want a flame to give off a flickering light – actually the way SL has been working for me lately this should need no scripting – however I digress. I want the flame to throw out an illumination and colour that flickers (randomly) – can someone give me a few pointers or sample script on how this could be achieved please.  |

no code, sorry, but a few ideas...
set prim parameters (noted above) to set the light casting, and either an animated texture, or particles for the flame...
flickering the cast light will be very operation intensive, but can be done

Well, you can make the light source itself look like it is flickering with a clever particle effect. However, making the light it casts on nearby objects/avatars also flicker is kinda tough. You can do something like randomly vary the illumination of the light given off, but it is pretty lag-sensitive, since you are constantly sending out updates to generate the effect.
