Hi all I have the following script in an object I wan to be able to vary the roation speed from 0 seconds to 1 second. It works other than the speed varying bit, I can't work out what order I should put state entry etc to make it adjustable. float rotate=0; float RotSpeed; default { link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string msg, key id) { //if(msg!=""  llOwnerSay("Recieved "+msg); if(msg=="Ft0" RotSpeed=.0; if(msg=="Ft1" RotSpeed=.1; if(msg=="Ft2" RotSpeed=.2; if(msg=="Ft3" RotSpeed=.3; if(msg=="Ft4" RotSpeed=.4; if(msg=="Ft5" RotSpeed=.5; if(msg=="Ft6" RotSpeed=.6; if(msg=="Ft7" RotSpeed=.7; if(msg=="Ft8" RotSpeed=.8; if(msg=="Ft9" RotSpeed=.9; if(msg=="Ft10" RotSpeed=1.0; } state_entry() { rotate = 0; llSetTimerEvent(RotSpeed); //llOwnerSay((string)RotSpeed); } timer() { rotate = rotate + .1; if (rotate==10.1) { rotate = 0; } llRotateTexture(rotate,ALL_SIDES); } }

state_entry is only called when the state changes, try this instead float rotate=0; float RotSpeed; default { link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string msg, key id) { //if(msg!="" llOwnerSay("Recieved "+msg); if(msg=="Ft0" RotSpeed=.0; if(msg=="Ft1" RotSpeed=.1; if(msg=="Ft2" RotSpeed=.2; if(msg=="Ft3" RotSpeed=.3; if(msg=="Ft4" RotSpeed=.4; if(msg=="Ft5" RotSpeed=.5; if(msg=="Ft6" RotSpeed=.6; if(msg=="Ft7" RotSpeed=.7; if(msg=="Ft8" RotSpeed=.8; if(msg=="Ft9" RotSpeed=.9; if(msg=="Ft10" RotSpeed=1.0; rotate = 0; llSetTimerEvent(RotSpeed); //llOwnerSay((string)RotSpeed); } timer() { rotate = rotate + .1; if (rotate==10.1) { rotate = 0; } llRotateTexture(rotate,ALL_SIDES); } } |

also note that sim time dilation affects timers
if you want to try to beat that, setting the timer by multiplying the time by the time dilation can help (up to a point)... just be sure to include a failsafe for under .5 time dilation or it could get ugly

Cool, thanks, that solved the problem. Probably not woried about dilation that much as it's only an animation script so not critical to be perfect by any means, but that will come in handy for another one later

And try doing half the work. Just have the sender script send the float instead of Ft0 for instance.
float rotate = 0;
float RotSpeed;
default {
link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string msg, key id) {
RotSpeed = (float)msg;
rotate = 0;
llSetTimerEvent(RotSpeed);
//llOwnerSay((string)RotSpeed);
}
timer() {
rotate += .1;
if (rotate == 10.1) {
rotate = 0;
}
llRotateTexture(rotate, ALL_SIDES);
}
}

Isn't "rotate == 10.1" one of those "testing for equality of floats" one sees repeated warnings about?

}
Yep I would have done it this way except I'm still working out what values are noticble in differences for the speed range
