show/hide

I am clueless on scripting. I have made some furnitures that have pose balls, that put the avatar in cerain position when one sit on them.

What I would need is something to plop into the pose balls, that will be linked to rest.
It should be something simple
When one say show/hide it would do that to the parts of the model that contains teh script.

Is this somehow possibel?

Thanks in advance

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),""); // listen on channel 0 for chat said by the owner of this object.
	}
	
	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
	{
		if (message == "invisible")
		{
			llSetAlpha(0.0,ALL_SIDES); // set all sides of this object to 100% transparent.
		}
		
		else if (message == "visible")
		{
			llSetAlpha(1.0,ALL_SIDES);  // set all sides of this object to 100% opaque.
		}
	}
	
	on_rez(integer start_param)
	{
		llResetScript(); // reset script when object is rezzed
	}
}
	

This is basically what you need to do.

Saying "visible" or "invisible" on channel 0 (normal chat) will cause the object to turn visible or invisible.

If you're using this for more than one object, you'll probably want to use linkmessages in some way.

Thank you Cathereine.

I was given a script, and I played with it and got both show/hide and animations to work.

Now it insisits on giving an error " Script trying to stop animations but PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission not set".

I do not seem to prevent things from working, but is annoying when one get it both when siting down and standing up. Would there be anyway to get rid of it?

One other thing, instead of using the default chat channel, you should use channel 1 so that you can avoid some of the lag that is caused by the script trying to decode everything that is said on the default chat channel.... so the line that said:

llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),""); // listen on channel 0 for chat said by the owner of this object.

should look like:

llListen(1,"",llGetOwner(),""); // listen on channel 1 for chat said by the owner of this object.

To use it this way, enter the same command, but put "/1" in front of the command...

So now your command would be:

/1 visible
/1 invisible

I hope this helps.

Well in order to help, we'd have to see the script that was given to you. Post it if you can.

Sure thing . Wonder if it can be that some balls have animations and other poses?

string anim = "lay001";//change testmast to any animation or drop an animation in the contents then add the name

default
{
state_entry()
{ llSitTarget(<0,0,.001>, llEuler2Rot(<0,0,0> ));
llListen(0, "", "" ,"";
}

changed(integer change)
{
if (change & CHANGED_LINK)
{
key user = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
if (user)
{
llRequestPermissions(user, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
llStartAnimation(anim);
llSetTexture("cdb565c1-59ba-3888-d650-e6a36cc60e0a", ALL_SIDES);//make the ball go invis
llStopAnimation("sit";
}
else
{
llSetTexture("f2c05e3a-f15e-17e0-9432-1826d60f05d4", ALL_SIDES);//show the ball
llStopAnimation(anim);
llResetScript();
}
}
}
run_time_permissions(integer perms)
{
if (perms != PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
llResetScript();
}
else
{
llStopAnimation("sit";
}
}
listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string msg)
{
if(msg == "hide"
{
llSetTexture("cdb565c1-59ba-3888-d650-e6a36cc60e0a", ALL_SIDES);
llSetText("", <0, 0, 1>, 1);
}
if(msg =="show"
{
llSetTexture("f2c05e3a-f15e-17e0-9432-1826d60f05d4", ALL_SIDES);
llSetText("", <0, 0, 1>, 1);
}
}
}

I was playing with this but it seems to lock on to me as the owner.
I was ondering if there is a way to make sho anyone saying the commands can use it?
THanks.

Change this

llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");

to this

llListen(0,"","","");

You could also use a touch even and be a bit more server friendly

That's what I do. I put a touch event in the main object of the furniture, and have it use a linkmessage to tell the poseballs to change the show/hide state. No listens, sensors, or anything else using up resources until someone touches the furniture.
