I was trying to make a script that toggle the phantom setting in a prim. Problem is when I save it gives me an error. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

default
{
touch_start (integer total_number)
{
if(door)
{
door = false;
llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_PHANTOM, FALSE])
}
else
{
closed = true;
llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_PHANTOM, TRUE])
}
}
}

depends on what the error is, but i'd bet it has something to do with closed = TRUE; and possibly that it should be door = TRUE;

CODE

integer closed;

default
{
    touch_start (integer total_number)
    {
        if(closed)
        {
             closed = false;
             llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_PHANTOM, FALSE]);
         }
         else
         {
             closed = true;
             llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_PHANTOM, TRUE]);
         }
    }
}


Try that. :)

Thanks Damien will try when I log in tonight.

Rickard the error according the script was actually at the { jsut above "else".

Krazzora,

No problem. That was probably the ";" you left out but the if statement wouldn't have worked properly either becaues you were evaluating one variable and setting another.
Hope that helps. :D

;) No you don't suck.
It's a common mistake.

I've made huge scripts that would have run perfect had I not messed up 10 if statements...with the same error in each one :)

Trust me, you can program/script for years and still overlook the simple things.
I do it all the time...and it's my job :D

yes, the semicolon is the bain of all C syntax programmers.

Well, you get used to semi-colons;

In fact, they become a part of your every day life;

But I do second the fact that even experienced programmers mess up often on even the simplest things;

Great I have been wondering how to do this, make an object (door) become phantom with a touch, but when I try this script I get an error message:

(8, 26) : ERROR : Name not defined within scope

Is there something missing from this script?

Change the following lines..
CODE

closed = false;
closed = true;

to:
CODE

closed = FALSE;
closed = TRUE;

Touch on off phantom

Ahh great.

I was able to make the script work by rewriting it as follows:

CODE

default 
{ 
    touch_start(integer total_number) 
    {  
            llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_PHANTOM, FALSE]); state phantom; 
        } 
}
state phantom
{ 
    touch_start(integer total_number) 
    { 
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_PHANTOM, TRUE]); state default;
    } 
}

   ...code using states...
great work - and welcome to the wonderful world of states.
LSL is one of the few programming languages natively based on states. Continue using states as you have here and you will notice how much more readable and understandable your code becomes.
