Codes for switch

Hi. Cn anyone help me on how the coding in the switch works. Thank You.

Try this

integer toggle;// simple binary switch.  Starts as false if no value given

default {
    state_entry() {
       // start with stuff turned off
    }
    
  touch_start(integer num){
  	toggle =!toggle;//change the value each time you touch it
  	if(toggle){ // if toggle is true
  		//turn stuff on
  	}
  	else{ // if it's not true, it must be false
  		//turn stuff off
  	}
  }
}

if you're using a binary value in what your code is triggering, you can do it even more simply...

example of fullbright on/off (starts "off"

integer vBooSwitch;

default{
  touch_start( integer vIntNull ){
    llSetLinkPrimitiveParams( LINK_SET, [PRIM_FULLBRIGHT, ALL_SIDES, (vBooSwitch = !vBooSwitch)]  );
  }
}

if you use two values (like say 0 and 255) you can use multiplication to do the same thing like
(vBooSwitch = !vBooSwitch) * 255

thanks anyway! but cn u all modify a little, where, once the switch is clicked, the inclined track moves. Cn anyone help me on that? I am stuck on that? Can reply me asap? Thank you.

same idea, except use PRIM_ROTATION and PRIM_POSITION properties in a call to llSetPrimitiveParams http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetPrimitiveParams

I'll leave the math of the height change to you, but it's fairly simple trig that you can probably find a formula for online

i have thought of using that...... i have found that both the switch and button must be linked in order for it to work. But may i know what are codes should implement in the switch and track? 10q.

i have implement this coding for the switch. is this correct?

integer myswitch;

default
{


state_entry()
{

myswitch=FALSE;

}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{

if(myswitch==FALSE)
{

//Turn switch ON

llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, 0, "start", NULL_KEY);
myswitch=TRUE;



}
else
{

//Turn switch Off

llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, 0, "stop", NULL_KEY);
myswitch=FALSE;





}

}
}

that will work, yes

ps
you don't need to set mySwitch to FALSE in state entry, all stated variables start as zero (which is false) or empty (if they are lists, keys, or strings)

But even though i put mySwitch == True (state entry), but still my track cannot work. When i click on the switch, my track did not move.... do u have nay idea on this? thank you.

llOwnerSay is your friend!!

Seriously. Put something like 'llOwnerSay ("I got clicked! myswitch now = " + (string)myswitch);' at the end of your touch_start handler. And put more in the other script - the one that receives the link messages - the make sure they're getting the messages you expect.

Instead of llOwnerSay, i have implement, llSay and for the track i have implement llListen.... Is it ok to implement this?

I think Meade was saying to use llOwnerSay for debugging. It's much more reliable than guessing what your code is doing!

Once you've got the scripts debugged, you can remove them or comment them out.

Thanks for the help.
