I've had mail from stuff that had been returned weeks after the last time I'd edited terrain. I don't know that it was a sim restart, or update, but it's not something I'd recommend depending on in a product.
If this is just a hack for yourself, by all means go ahead.

And maybe you could send it upwards with one of the WarpPos functions? |

what's the purpose of moving it out of the way?
you could also shrink the tv down to a clickable button4., when you want the tv "out", click it, and it can grow to the needed size. or rotate and hide the tv like said before, and have a seperate prim say a chat command for the tv to come up, hide the button with the tv while it's in use to avoid being touched _____________________

Oh, option 5: have an object that rezzes a TV on demand, and a TV that llDie()s when you click on the "power button". If you set up other furniture this way you'll save on prims too, since any given piece of furniture won't use prims when you're not using it. Kind of like a mini-holodeck-rezzer.

I think Argent is suggesting setting the transparency using llSetAlpha or llSetPrimitiveParams (and their link siblings) rather than using a transparent texture. Oh, you're right, I mis-read that. I guess that would work, if I set it phantom too. It just wouldn't be as satisfying as watching the screen slide in and out of the floor  And maybe you could send it upwards with one of the WarpPos functions? Upwards isn't a problem, downwards is  And WarpPos wouldn't help here, since it would effectively reduce to a single-instruction call to llSetPrimitiveParameters(), which I've tried.what's the purpose of moving it out of the way? That's a fair question The only reasonable place to put a TV screen in this space is in the middle of the floor, where I don't want it unless I'm actually watching it. I want to move it down rather than any other direction, because that's the only way it can go where it would be hidden (and look reasonable/natural getting there). And why sink it into the floor rather than shrink it to 0.01 in all dimensions or make it transparent? Simply for the visual effect. It'd just look cool Oh, option 5: have an object that rezzes a TV on demand, and a TV that llDie()s when you click on the "power button". If you set up other furniture this way you'll save on prims too, since any given piece of furniture won't use prims when you're not using it. Kind of like a mini-holodeck-rezzer. Thanks again Argent, another good alternative. So now I have I think 2 options that might deliver the effect I want, and another 3 that will do what I fundamentally need (get the TV out of the way when not in use). Thanks to everyone for the good ideas; /me joins the "I'm going to miss these forums!" choir. |
