I need someone with brains to help me....

I am attempting to learn to script, but I must admit I am blonde...LOL. Having a hell of a time trying to get this particle script to do what I want, although it is almost there. I am attempting to make a script that "poofs" my texture upon click rather than thru listening or teleport.

The script I have so far...when I click it, emits a silly glow and not my texture as I would like. I would like it to poof out about 20-30 of my textures upon click. Thats not the result I am getting. Can some of you pros help me out here and give me some tips? This is the script I have so far:

string    texture = "texture1";


default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
       texture = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, 0);
    llParticleSystem([texture,13,0.1,15,12,17,0.5,18,0.5,19,2.0]);
    llSleep(2.5);
    llParticleSystem([]);
    }
}
     

that is not a proper call to llParticleSystem()

You can find free particle scripts around, say 'Keknehv's Particle Script', by Keknehv Psaltery
Finally you shoud visit Particle Lab In World

I am sending you a copy of Particle Magic. It is a hud with several examples builtin, you can change and see how it looks as you work and then it will chat out the finished script. It should help. That and Dora's suggestion of going to the Particle Laboratory, there are example scripts there, including poofer scripts.

Off topic.
Dora I have wanted to say thanks for the way you started answering questions starting last year. But everytime I checked you had PMs off in your profile. So now everyone gets to hear it

Thank you very much! My answers are very much dictated from the fact that English is not my mother tongue. This keep me from writing novels in English and force me to concentrate on the subject at hand Along that line abbreviations often are hard for me to guess the meaning of. For instance: what do you mean by 'PM'?
...and thanks again! (blushing)
