Hi, I need some help with a vehicle script I need. I have been looking for a good one, but I gave up, ant tried to make my own. I failed. Please help me. Here is the script I wrote:

default {
state_entry() {
llSetVehicleType(VEHICLE_TYPE_BALLOON);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGUALR_DEFLECTION_EFFICIENCY, 0.2);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_ANGULAR_DEFLECTION_TIMESCALE, 0.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_BANKING_MIX, 0.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_BANKING_EFFICIANCY, 0.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_BUOYANCY, 1.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT, 500.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_EFFICIENCY, 0.5);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_HOVER_TIMESCALE, 0.0);
llSetVehicleFloatParam(VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DECAY_TIMESCALE, 0.0);
}

touch_start(integer total_number) {
llSay(0, "HellO, Ride Me!";);
}
}

Unless you correct the spelling of the thread title, people will think you want to script a vacuum cleaner.

Hehe that's what I was thinking. Problems making a sucking sound? Following an av around a room to remove the dust?

Seems to me, a reasonably bright person should be able to find more than one way to spell a word. At least as many people have died fighting over language than religion. The guy asked for help, not indifferent arrogance.

If the Owl will contact me when both online, I will be happy to give you a few working hover scripts, both to use and learn from.

Chimera,

Don't be presumptuous.

1. I am not indifferent. If I were able to script I would try to help.

2. If you ask for help with a hoover, most of the people who would be likely to be able to offer help with a hover script won't even bother to read the thread.

<<Seems to me, a reasonably bright person should be able to find more than one way to spell a word.>>

3. When people make up their own spellings and grammar we end up in a place called Babel - and that's definitely not a place to be.

Geez people lighten up. I really did think he was talking about a vacuum cleaner when I saw the subject line. And since I don't deal with moving objects much it took me maybe 3 minutes to realize he meant hover. Good luck finding the solution you need.

OK, but what about a hoover? :-)

Bah, as true-blue teccies, everyone here should have made the most of the typo and actually started suggesting ways to script a vacuum cleaner. :-) It's much more challanging than a mere hover device. :-)

In the absence of pressure differentials and atmospheric physics, one would probably have to implement some sort of pseudo-suction, maybe based on spraying out a cloud of temporary particles in phantom mode. At the end of their outward trip, these could then turn off phantom and travel back to the emitter, bringing back with them any items they encounter in their path through simple collision.

Come to think of it, this might be the basis of a pretty fun weapon for games, like laser tag with tractor beams. :-)
