I am pretty new to SL and have just finished building my first house and it has glass walls. I love the house but the problem is that I have been looking around for a switch or a script that I have seen in apt rentals that changes the transarency of the windows so that people can not see in. I have done searches in SL for shops with scripts and have looked for a couple days now with no luck which is why I am trying here now.

Is there anyone that can help me out with a script or has information on where to obtain a script i can put in a window or a switch I can put on a wall? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thx - Dair Rocco

You can find this script and the window dial/switch at any telehub. It comes with one of the free linden houses.

touch(integer num) {
flip=1-flip;
if (flip)
llSetAlpha(0.20, 1);
else
llSetAlpha(1, 1);
}

SNippets can be confusing to first time LSLers, so...
CODE
integer flip;

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llSetAlpha(0.2, ALL_SIDES); // Makes windows semitrans on entry.
		flip = FALSE;
	}

	touch(integer num)
	{
		if (flip)
		{
			llSetAlpha(0.2, ALL_SIDES);
			flip = FALSE; // Yes, yes. More work. But a ton easier to read and understand for those learning.
		}
		else
		{
			llSetAlpha(1.0, ALL_SIDES);
			flip = TRUE;
		}
	}
}
Hope this helps! :D

I've seen some FREE Linden homes that have LOTS of glass in them. This one is a multi level, high prim count home that has sliding door scripts, and lanterns, and the scripts for changing the tint of the windows via a button. I'm sure you could hack away at that code and get something useful from it. I'll try to find it in my inventory and let you know what it's called so you can locate it more easily. If someone knows what I mean, and can post it sooner that would also be good.
