I'm using the following script to turn lights on and off with daylight. But since the updates, we can now have something give off light while still being reflective.

I need somebody to add a line in here to set shiny to none at night and med during the day. Your quick edit would be very much apreciated as i have little experience with scripts outside of value changing.

Thank You in advance,
~Lefty

Hooray! something I can answer.

You can extend the llSetPrimitiveParams:

llSetPrimitiveParams( [PRIM_MATERIAL, PRIM_MATERIAL_LIGHT] );

becomes

llSetPrimitiveParams( [PRIM_MATERIAL, PRIM_MATERIAL_LIGHT,
PRIM_BUMP_SHINY,ALL_SIDES,PRIM_SHINY_NONE,PRIM_BUMP_NONE] );


and for the day-time one, use PRIM_SHINY_MEDIUM.

(I'm typing this without trying it, so pardon any typos. Be sure to see the LSL Wiki entry:
http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llSetPrimitiveParams )
