simple rlv script question

Hello

am kinda new to scripting, but am having fun learning stuff

I am trying to get a prim to deny unsit for anyone using rlv that sits on it. I have got it so far as to restrain ME, but it doesn't seem to work on anyone else.

Does anyone have a basic sit and restrain script with no bells on that I can look at so I can figure out how it works? I had a look on the web but could see no examples anywhere!

thanks!!! xx

try open collar

by default, RLV can only do things to the OWNER of the scripted object, because the RLV part of the client is only listening to stuff that comes via llOwnerSay(), with the single exception of @version=.

therefor you need a RLV relay worn on your avatar to make RLV-scripted object work for you if they are owned by someone else.


that being said, the hint about opencollar above is a good one... from what i've seen so far, the opencollar code has the most complete RLV support, and the collars are free

... "collars are free" ... sounds funky.

Look into devices with a "relay" function. Most RLV traps use a standardized relay routine together with most of the better made collars, HUDs, and other bits so that things like proximity traps, snares, and cages can automatically force you to sit, move, pose, bind, and many other actions. (^_^)y

You might find Soen Eber's discussions and code in "Scripting Restrained Life (an exploration)" help you a lot /54/6e/330830/1.html .

yes, but I have been trapped by a few objects in my time that haven't been owned by me!

you don't need a collar for those traps to work too, only a relay.

Thanks for your replies so far, but no help to me

Take a closer look at Soen's final script at /54/6e/330830/1.html#post2506149

If you want to post what you've got here, I'll try to give you a hand.

It looks like you already have half the information you need. The item needs to communicate with the relay. Find out what attached relays require in order to work with a trap and you'll have the solution. (^_^)

And I second Innula's advice to look into Soen's work and information. (^_^)y

the soen stuff is probably brilliant! of that I have no doubt ... am not really all that good at scripting, especially sorting through somebody else's code. It's a bit opaque to me at this stage.

I just wanted something ever so simple that would give me a building block, something to start with, before I get into all the complicated things Sorry if I am being dumb

This is about as basic as it gets, this will trap someone for 60 seconds before releasing them.

No checks are made to see if the commands fail.

integer chanRLV = -1812221819;
key victim;

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llSitTarget(<0.0, 0.0, 0.1>, ZERO_ROTATION);
	}
	changed(integer change)
	{
		if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
		{
			victim = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
			if(victim)
			{
				llSay(chanRLV, "capture," + (string)victim + ",@unsit=n");
				llSetTimerEvent(60);
			}
		}

	}
	timer()
	{
		llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
		llSay(chanRLV, "release," + (string)victim + ",!release");

	}
}

thanks beverly! something I can enjoy tinkering with!

when I get my head round that, will scale the dizzy heights of mount soen!!

cheers!!!!

Most of Soen's code is devoted to version checking and error handling. As you'll be aware, RLV commands have to be issued by an object belonging to the victim, so in order to capture anyone but you, your chair needs to communicate with the victim's RLV relay. A lot of Soen's script is devoted to making sure the avatar you're trying to capture is using RLV in the first place, that his or her relay has accepted the command, what to do if you don't manage to trap your victim, what to do if your victim crashes while still a captive and so on.
