Need some assistance with color changing script.

Hi, I am a maker of jewlery and other things, and I am interested in a script where the owner can input their own RGB color in the channel to change the color of the prim(s). Although I've seen scripts with predefined colors that the user can input into the prim, I want the owner to choose whatever color he/she wants.

Thanks!

Well it depends how you'd want to do it, but you could go for something along the lines of:

integer val = 255; // Maximum value for a colour

default {
	state_entry() {
		llListen(1234,"",llGetOwner(),""); // Change 1234 to the desired channel, something above 100 is usually better
	} change(integer x) { llResetScript(); } // Something's changed, reset the script for good measure

	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string msg) {
		if ((channel == 1234) && (id == llGetOwnerId()) {
			list parts = llParseStringToList(msg,[" "],[]);
			if (llList2String(parts,0) == "color") { // User wants to change the colour?
				list parts = llParseStringToList(llList2String(parts,1),[",",", "],[]); // This looks confusing because we're re-using the 'parts' list
				float x = llList2Float(parts,0) / val;
				float y = llList2Float(parts,1) / val;
				float z = llList2Float(parts,2) / val;
				llSetColor(<x,y,z>,ALL_SIDES);
			}
		}
	}
}

Now I did this fairly quickly without testing so please point out if anything is wrong!
Basically this takes messages of the form:
/1234 color 255,127,255

That example giving the colour magenta (full red, full blue). You can easily change the values to be taken as percentages (e.g a value of 0 to 100) or even let them enter the raw numbers (0 to 1) by setting the val variable at the top to 100 or 1 respectively. Hope this helps!

colour is normalized so X,Y and Z (RGB) should be floats with values between 0 and 1. <1,1,1> being white. <0,0,0> being black.

be easy to just divide the given values by 255 in the llSetColor vector:

llSetColor(<x/255,y/255,z/255>, ALL_SIDES)

He's already dividing by 255.

integer val = 255; // Maximum value for a colour

...

float x = llList2Float(parts,0) / val;

Yup, I seperated it in the event that someone would want to use a different max value, like 100 (ie you're entering the percentage of each colour) or 1 (decimal percentage) or 666 (you're an evil person) etc. etc. =)

I get a syntax error when I paste it in
