Feeding Script

Looking to be pointed in the direction of a good feeding script - to be more exact where in the wiki would i begin to look? looked high and low for even scraps of something.

If you mean something that makes you look like you're eating, you're looking for an animation, not a script. If I were looking for something like that, I'd look in XStreetSL or ask in the Products Wanted forum. In world, you might try Depoz at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Depoz%20Celebrations/1/166/27 or Kitchen Korner Food at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Kitchen%20Korner/204/73/42. If I remember right, both places sell animated dinners and may sell the scripts/animations as well (although I doubt it), or maybe you can ask their creator.

No i'm looking for a feeding scrip as in "feeding the birds" "feeding the fish" and thanks but i'd rather script it myself -

OK, but it's still an animation, not a script. Try asking the question over in the Animation Tips forum. You'll have better luck.

i'm assuming dragger is talking about feeding like the working fish tanks what will turn dirty if you don't clean them for so long and the fish will die if you don't feed them. i could be wrong though

Not looking for an animation ... looking for a feeder script, a sender receiver "scripts" that will in effect give the impression something is being "fed" be it fish or birds or squirrels-

Lets put it this way - i have fantastic butterflies but they just fly around- would like to be able to rez something on a flower that attracts them, same with fish and birds and why not bees. Not an animation needed.

For the food:

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSay (-123, "Food!");
    }
}

For the fish:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen (-123, "", NULL_KEY, "Food!");
    }
    listen (integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        vector food = llList2Vector (llGetObjectDetails (id, [OBJECT_POS]), 0);
        llOwnerSay ("Food at " + (string) food);
        llSetStatus (STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
        llMoveToTarget (food, 10.0);
        llSetTimerEvent (5.0);
    }
    timer ()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent (0.0);
        llSetStatus (STATUS_PHYSICS, FALSE);
    }
}

The above is probably what you want, but for those times when you have more prey than predators (as it were) you can have specific food-named objects and the 'predator' can scan for them instead of the food doing the calling.

llSensorRepeat("Shark Bait", NULL_KEY, PASSIVE, 10.0, PI, 10.0);
...
sensor(integer HowMany)
{
vector food = llDetectedPos(0);
...
}

Obviously, for server-load reasons, you'll want to put the script(s) in as few objects as possible so it's up to you to decide which way around it should be.

There is an old pet protocol that supports food: http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=PetProtocol032
I remember seeing other SL ecology scirpts around.
