Help with a simple privacy script?

Heyas.. I'm working on a 'privacy screen' setting script for a build I'm doing, so far it's very simple but I'm having one problem. For some reason it won't talk to me like I want it to. ill attach one section of it, it's basically this repeated a bunch of times with differet values.

What confounds me is it is almos the same exact script as the colour changing I'm using for the same build (Different parts though), only its changed from llSetLinkColor to llSetLinkAlpha, but the color changing one works just fine!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Privacy Screens at 100%";
}
touch_start(integer number)
{
llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, .9, ALL_SIDES);
state next1;
}
}

Well, if that is the whole script it won't work at all. It refers to a state, "next1", which does not exist.

What is it meant to do?

lol that is one section of the script, it goes through 5 states before returning to default.

Every section is exactly the same except for the valuies in them though.

It is supposed to change a linked set of screens between various 'privacy settings' (Transparencies) and state the % of each when changed.

I'm not hearing it state it though.

Well, I wouldn't use states, that's a waste of time really. I would do something like the following:

list ALPHA_SETTINGS = [1.0, 0.9, 0.6, 0.4, 0.0];
integer gSetting = 0;

change_alpha()
{
   float alpha = llList2Float(ALPHA_SETTINGS, gSetting);
   llOwnerSay("Privacy now " + (string)llRound(alpha * 100.0) + "%");
   llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, alpha);
   if (++gSetting >= llGetListLength(ALPHA_SETTINGS)) gSetting = 0;
}

default
{
   state_entry()
   {
      change_alpha();
   }

   touch_start(integer n)
   {
      if (llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()) change_alpha();
   }
}

though it is hard to say without the exact settings.

For an application like this you don't really need states. Try something like this:

float alpha = 0.0;

default
{
	touch_start(integer total_number)
	{
		llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, alpha, ALL_SIDES);
		llSay(0, "Privacy Screens at " + (string)((integer)(alpha * 100)) + "%");
		if (alpha == 1.0)
		{
			alpha = 0.0;
		}
		else
			alpha += 0.25;
	}
}

EDIT: Cool! Ordinal whipped up one for you before I could get my reply out!

But since I am here and am bored tonight. THis one steps down from 1.0 to 0.1 in 5 steps:

float alpha = 1.0;

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, alpha, ALL_SIDES);
        llSay(0, "Privacy Screens at " + (string)((integer)(alpha * 100)) + "%");
        if (alpha < 0.2)
        {
            alpha = 1.0;
        }
        else
            alpha -= 0.225;
    }
}

If I knew more about scripting I would've done that in the first place =P

Trying to do specific things *and* learn scripting so did what I could ^_^

thankies

Just think, NOW you do know more about scripting
