Okay..so so so very new at building. I made my first couple of boxes, lol..stretched them out and made a background and floor to take photos of my avy on white background. yes i even colored white them and everything! XD - - WORKS GREAT!

I know some of you are rolling your eyes...but for me..I'm having fun...lol

Anyway...I like the white background, very much needed for when I take photos and download to PS to manipulate the photos some more.

However, is there a way i can upload a 4 or 5 textures and somehow include them in the box i made(background)....make it clickable so that I (or others) can click it and cycle through the 5 textures, which would be my background? Does that require a sript? (ugh...if so, me no not no scripting...lol) I'd like a black background as well as maybe a few uploaded textures.

Any guidance would be great! And remember, your dealing with a first time building so keep it simple...lol

A question best asked on the Scripting Tips forum, since that is how you do this. By adding a script to the prims. It's a fairly simple script, though requires some skill and understanding of LSL to do it well.

I'll have to check some of my own changable scripts in-world, but I believe the LSL command is llSetTexture, and it can refer to a texture by name or bu UUID. You create a touch-activated script, and have it flip between various states when touched, each of which calls a routine that changes the texture on one or more prim faces.
