I have a vehicle that i want any avatar to be able to ride.I have several scripts that I use .but I don't have the skill to mod them.I have tried but got no success.Can anyone tell me if a script like this is possible.

This only needs to be a basic script suitable for a Bumper car.

Sure, you can make a vehicle script that allows anyone to ride in it.

There is likely to be a section of code in the script something like this:

CODE
     if (agent != llGetOwner())
               {
                    llSay(0, "You aren't the owner");
                    llUnSit(agent);
                    llPushObject(agent, <0,0,100>, ZERO_VECTOR, FALSE);
                }


That's checking to see that the avatar that sat on it is the owner.

One way to defeat this check with minimal change would be to replace "llGetOwner()" with "agent". "agent" will alway equal "agent" so the user would never get kicked off.

This is sleazy scripting but it's a way to accomplish the goal without having to understand the script's flow and structure beyond being able to recognize its version of the section quoted above.

When I first looked into scripting vehicles, I downloaded several samples to learn from. I discovered that learning was hard because 90% of the code in the sample scripts was detecting non-owners and ejecting people who should not be in the vehicle, and only 10% was actually showing you how to script a vehicle. Someone should post a simple vehicle script that only shows how to script a vehicle. Rejecting non-owners should be a separate issue.
