Glow Script?

Is there any script out there to make an object glow...like if you were making lanterns or the smiliar and the sides (textures) would illuminate a little brighter. I know how to do full bright but wondered if there was something out there. Thanks for your time!

No.

There are building and texturing and scripting cheats for it though. Some work better than others....

You can try and build a particle system to give you that glow. It's very tricky since the particles will always be normal to the viewpoint of the user and the particles will penetrate the prims.

The commonest building and texturing cheat... you build a prim that's a bit bigger than the lamp that's cut out the right way, make it fullbright, but apply a "noisy" alpha with an intermediate (say 50% grey - black) texture in the right sort of colour for your light source. Takes an extra prim or several depending on the complexity of your lantern (you can do extra layers too) but does work well. I've used it on fluorescent tubes occasionally with a lot of success.

Thank you so much Eloise for taking the time to tell me.

You can use a script to turn on/off all of the following effects that enhance or simulate light:

Full Bright
Change color: black to white
Change texture to fire
change the visibility of a light cone
hardware lighting
particles - to create a halo glow around the light source

A very simple "particle glow" can be accomplished with this script:

 default {
	state_entry() {
		// turn particles off by using empty []'s in llParticleSystem();
		// deleting this script will not stop particles! :)
		llParticleSystem( [
			PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <0.1, 0.1, 0.0>,
  			PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <1.5 1.5 0.0>,
      		PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 0.9,
        	  PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 0.0, 
        	  PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_DROP,
          	PSYS_PART_FLAGS, ( PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK | 
 									PSYS_PART_INTERP_COLOR_MASK |
  									PSYS_PART_INTERP_SCALE_MASK |
   									PSYS_PART_FOLLOW_SRC_MASK )
 		] );
	}
 }
