Hi I need a script that will make a light change colour over a time period and covering the whole RGB spectrum.

If anyone can make me this script please IM me or if you know of a script already in exsistence please say where.

I'm a complete non scripter lol, i'm a builder.

Thanks very much.

you should be able to find a freebie that would work for you. try searching this or script library forum.

Jo, you really don't need a complex script for your light. You need a texture that animates to change the color smoothly over time.

First, use Photoshop to make a image with the size 256 x 2. Then, use the gradient tool to create the spectrum from red to red (with all the other colors in between).

Place that texture on your light and use the following script:

default {
state_entry() {
llSetTextureAnim(ANIM_ON | LOOP, ALL_SIDES, 256, 1, 0, 0, 15.0);
}
}

The "15.0" is your frame-rate. Increase or decrease to suit your need.

no thats not quite what i meant. I mean the actual colour of light that is given off. The actual light bulb prim itself will be alpha. But i want the actual colour of light it emmits to be changed.

Hope this makes sense

I played with a number of scripts last night to see if they did change colours as you want. Nothing seemed to work, however after reading your second post I can send you a script that may give you hints on how to achieve this, I'm not a scripter, so I'm just sending you someone elses freebie script, that's the best I can offer. Oh also there is that freebie dance floor that randomly changes colours on 25 squares, again I realise its not what you are after but there maybe other clues in the script to help you out, you probably have it, but I'll send it to you anyways.
