Scripting remote controls

Hello everybody!
I'm merely a humble newbie trying to implement some ideas and I need some help.
I'm especially interested in looking through remote control scripts. The ones which allow, for instance, to change the light colour of a lightsource from a remote control box (seen that in SL). Could you please recommend some free such scripts for research, if there are any?

What I can suggest, is looking in the wiki. This is a great little script to build your first time out.

You'll need to know the following things:

llListen
llSetPrimitiveParams
llSay

And you can use the following events

touch
listen

The trick to getting a listen to "hear" a remote control, is kind of complex, so I'll post that here for you. You could put this in the "state entry" in the light.

llListen(channel, "", NULL_KEY, "";

and then later in ths "listen" event, put this line on top.

if (llGetOwnerKey(id) != llGetOwner()) return;

"return" is the lsl version of "end" or "goback". What this little line is saying, is "if the KEY(UUID) of the owner, of the speaker.. is NOT the same as the KEY(UUID) of the owner of the prim holding THIS script.. stop.

Basically what happens, is that if you own the light, and you own the switch.. Then these two will match, and it won't quit out. It's nice also that YOU own YOURSELF.. so if you were to speak the command on "channel", then the light would respond as if you were the remote control.

But this "filter" will keep your friend's lightswitch from messing up the light.

Thank you very much, especially for llSetPrimitiveParams! I was wondering which function controls those parameters and could not find the answer.

Great! It worked!

I would also like to learn to script - don't know how to call it - a multiple selection menus. So that you could press your remote and get a few buttons with options to select from.
How do you call that stuff in SL? I'm having difficulties finding sample scripts because I have no idea what to look for... *blushes*

That one would be llDialog.

It would work essentially the same way as the chat based one would, as when someone responds to a dialog they automatically speak the text of the dialog option on the channel specified in the llDialog call rather than any kind of dialog_responce event.

Dialog has the 12 options limitation, and unfortunately I don't really know how to play with the multiple pages thing.

Thank you very much!

Another question. How to turn off the 'dancing' particles which appear every time when scripts work?

you can't really, but as far as i know, those are only for when it speaks
