I found this example in the wiki library. The directions state that it should be called from an event handler. I have been reading about event handlers, but I guess I am lost. What do i need to do to make this script compile? I get a syntax error at the last bracket. From: someone // Call this from an event handler.
// Currently only fades the top.
// Set kSide to ALL_SIDES to fade all sides.
integer kSide = 0;
fade_in_and_out()
{
integer steps = 15;
float base = 0.85;
float delay = 1.0 / steps;
integer i;
// fade up
for (i = 0; i < steps; i++)
{
llSetAlpha(1.0 - llPow(base,i), kSide);
llSleep(delay);
}
llSetAlpha(1.0, kSide);
llSleep(4);
// fade out
for (i = 0; i < steps; i++)
{
llSetAlpha(llPow(base,i), kSide);
llSleep(delay);
}
llSetAlpha(0.0, kSide);
}

Well, what you're looking at is a function (or procedure), not a complete script. You have no default state or any events, so it's not going to compile.  Try this (it will make the object face fade in then out each time the object is touched): // Call this from an event handler.
// Currently only fades the top.
// Set kSide to ALL_SIDES to fade all sides.
integer kSide = 0;
fade_in_and_out()
{
integer steps = 15 ;
float base = 0.85 ;
float delay = 1.0 / steps ;
integer i ;
// fade up
for ( i = 0; i < steps; i++ )
{
llSetAlpha( 1.0 - llPow( base, i ), kSide ) ;
llSleep( delay ) ;
}
llSetAlpha( 1.0, kSide ) ;
llSleep( 4 ) ;
// fade out
for ( i = 0; i < steps; i++ )
{
llSetAlpha( llPow( base, i ), kSide ) ;
llSleep( delay ) ;
}
llSetAlpha( 0.0, kSide ) ;
}
default
{
state_entry()
{
}
touch_start( integer num )
{
fade_in_and_out() ;
}
} No guarantees this will work, as I don't have access to world right now.
