Using CONTROL_FWD out of Mouselook?

Stupid question here, I have an object that you sit on. Basically, what I am trying to do is a test script is make it say "Hello" whenever I am sitting on it and clicking W. However, I can not seem to do it unless I am in mouse look. I have a swing I purchased that allows me to just sit on it, and press up or down without being in mouselook and it works just fine. Any tips?

Just use CONTROL_LBUTTON without mouselook.

such as:

if(level & (CONTROL_LBUTTON)){
llOwnerSay("WooHoo!! We're flyin' NOW!";
state plane;
}


I use this as a qualifier in one of my vehicles - I use it to change states between flying vehicle or driving vehicle via clicking anywhere on the screen (that doesn't have a touch item in the way. )

Thanks for the response, CONTROL_LBUTTON actually works like you said. But I was hoping to use the up key for the script. And that only seems to work in mouselook. I may just end up using LBUTTON if theres no other choice, but hoping there is a way to get the other keys to work outside of mouselook.

I am a little confused reading this thread.

"W" as mentioned in the first post is forward, not up, hence CONTROL_FWD - this should be the same in mouselook or out of mouselook. Up is CONTROL_UP, again, the same. The differences in mouselook are that (a) left click is CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON rather than CONTROL_LBUTTON and (b) left and right, A and D, are mapped to linear movement rather than turning, so they are CONTROL_LEFT rather than CONTROL_ROT_LEFT.

But those should be the only difference really.

Ok, yea im getting pretty confused also. Basically, all I want to do is be able to press a button out of mouselook, while sitting on a box.

Heres my code so far, maybe you can tell me what im doing wrong!

----------------------------
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llRequestPermissions(llDetectedKey(0), PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
llTakeControls((CONTROL_FWD), TRUE, TRUE);
}

control(key id, integer level, integer edge)
{
if (level & (CONTROL_FWD)) {
llSay(0, "Sup";
}
}
}
----------------------------

Now, when I go into mouse look and I press W or arrow key up, it works! When im not in mouselook, it does not. I know I must be doing something horribly wrong here. (Also im making sure it takes controls before I do it, its in touch just cause im testing it)

To do that, you need to take controls on sit. Like follows:

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
    //llRequestPermissions(llDetectedKey(0), PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
    //llTakeControls((CONTROL_FWD), TRUE, TRUE);
    }
    state_entry()
    {
        llSitTarget(<0.0, 0.0, 0.5>, ZERO_ROTATION);
    }
    control(key id, integer level, integer edge)
    {
        if (level & (CONTROL_FWD)) 
        {
        llSay(0, "Sup");
        }
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if (perm)
        {            
            llTakeControls(CONTROL_FWD, TRUE, FALSE);            
        }
    }
    changed (integer change)
    {
        if (change & CHANGED_LINK){
            key agent = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
            if (agent)
            {
                
                    llRequestPermissions(agent, PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
                
            }
            else
            {
                llReleaseControls();
            }
        }
    }

}

try that out in any cube... and you'll be set.

Take care,

That was exactly what I was missing. Thanks a lot, works perfectly.
