Hi All

I'm still trying to learn scripting and i have created a script to set the colour of a prim using llSetColor, so nothing to complex but when I try to set the color to white with

CODE
llSetColor( <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, ALL_SIDES );


The colour being set is a dirty gray. Can anyone tell me what i need to do to set the colour to a proper bright white using scripting.


Thanks in advance

basically you are suffering from the ambient lighting conditions.
You need to turn on the full bright option in the objects properties or via the script.

Another possibility is that you have a texture on the object that affects the color. E.g. the default yellow-ish wood texture interferes with certain light colors and makes them look funny.

You shouldn't need to turn on "full bright" to get a white object. IMO only things that are supposed to look like lights should really be full bright. Prims with that option set will be unnaturally bright from any distance, and they'll appear luminous at night.

You will however need to turn off shininess: even Low shiny will makes everything look grayer.
