I could swear that I saw a script somewhere which would perform like a remote control vehicle somewhere but for the life of me I can't recall where. I've searched on remote and control but it turns out that those words appear in here. A LOT.

Can someone whose mental facilities aren't as worn out as mine point an old geezer in the right direction?

Thanks a ton.

A "remote control" vehicle will need to take the controler's controls (if you wish to do with with the normal movement keys, which is the usual--but certainly not the only--way to obtain user input for such things). Things to research:

llRequestPermissions()
llTakeControls()
control (event)

The vehicle can either take controls directly (which will prompt the user to grant permissions), or you can have some kind of controller attachment or object to sit on. The latter two can get the permissions without the user explicitly accepting them, and could then relay commands to the vehicle over chat.

For the actual movement, it would be the same as for any non-physical, physical, or vehicle-based physical object.

Hi Heewe and thanks for responding. What I had in mind was more like an actual remote control, like you'd see with a radio controlled aircraft or car in RL. Dang it if I could recall where I saw this I could show you easily <g>.

Umm, thinking about what you said and what I was thinking about I think that I can do it with llTakeControls after all, so ignore this, and thanks again.

An RC chopper script was just posted to the library today:

I don't recall ever seeing a freely available script for such a thing, but it's fairly simple to create from any old vehicle script. Basically, alter the script to move the bits from the "changed" event into something like the "touch_start" event. I'll modify the easily found "Realistic Car Script" as an example. I can't test it, but the concept should work.

From: someone

changed(integer change) {
:::if (change & CHANGED_LINK) {
::::::key agent = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
::::::if (agent) {
:::::::::if (agent != llGetOwner()) {
::::::::::::llSay(0, not_owner_message);
::::::::::::llUnSit(agent);
:::::::::}
:::::::::else {
::::::::::::llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
::::::::::::llRequestPermissions(agent, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION | PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
:::::::::}
::::::}
::::::else {
:::::::::llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, FALSE);
:::::::::llReleaseControls();
:::::::::llResetScript();
::::::}
:::}
}

From: someone

touch_start(integer num) {
:::key agent = llDetectedKey(0);
:::if (agent != llGetOwner()) {
::::::llSay(0, not_owner_message);
::::::return;
:::}
:::if (in_use == FALSE) {
::::::in_use = TRUE;
::::::llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
::::::llRequestPermissions(agent, PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS);
:::}
:::else {
::::::in_use = FALSE;
::::::llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, FALSE);
::::::llReleaseControls();
::::::llResetScript();
:::}
}

Wow, in light of my incredible luck and/or all those supplications to dark powers FINALLY paying off, I'd also sure love it if someone could point me to a working script to pick state lottery numbers accurately every time, and perhaps one to make Elizabeth Hurley show up at my door <g>.

Thanks for all your help everyone.

that's all well and good, except that Elizabeth Hurley shows up at your door to assasinate you and steal the script (can you tell I've played web forum 'wish corruption' a few too many times)

You mean you VOLUNTARILY stay at your keyboard for countless, sleepless hours, banging out code and debugging with little or no hope for recompense and it's NOT because of a horde of little buggers running around prodding you with pitchforks??????

Of course! Big fan of hers from way back......

oddly no... all the little buggers running around prodding me with pitchforks are in my head...I call them knowledge, insanity, and masochism. I actually LIKE diving into the dark to retrieve little gems of knowledge, despite the bloody mess it makes of me >=)

(although if there is a hell, the idea I came up with and am pursuing with a friend will ensure us both front row seats.... bolgia 1 in the 8th circle if you've read Dante =)
