Re: To box, or not to box, that is the question

Yes, but which is the best parameter to check? Ideally we want one code snippet that works for all scripts rather than unique solutions for each. If you're looking for a solution that covers Kitely boxes in particular, then I can't answer that from experience, but llGetCreator( ); is the most obvio...

Re: To box, or not to box, that is the question

You'd need to find something about the object that differentiates it. For example, if the object it's supposed to be in is a linkset, then: if (llGetNumberOfPrims() == 1) would tell you if it's in a single-prim object. Or if your boxes all have the text "(boxed)" in their name, then: if (llSubString...

Re: Are listeners actually expensive, or is this a myth?

This is cool info, and helps my thought processes for sure. Same here. It's one thing doing a bit of testing and guessing at how it works, and another to hear from someone who really understands the codebase and takes the time and effort to give an informed and detailed answer like that. Thanks aga...

Are listeners actually expensive, or is this a myth?

I'm considering putting a listener into an object, which would listen to a private (ie large, obscure number) channel for handshaking. There could be 20 or 30 of these objects in a region, but not hundreds. In testing, I found that 64 objects like that incur no noticeable CPU usage (according to the...

Re: To box, or not to box, that is the question

Unboxing is a pain, IMO. How about using sub-folders within the product contents to give folder organisation on delivery? I'm not sure how many levels deep you can go, but I've included a sub-folder in the latest RezMela product (for notecards with example scenes) rather than using a box that needs ...

Re: Can someone with script knowledge please help me

I'm not able to log in and test anything at the moment. However, it looks like the script is requesting permission to animate, but not waiting until permission is granted before starting the animation. One of those things you might be able to get away with sometimes, but it's certainly not recommend...

Re: Event timeout issue-- scripters are revolting! ;D

To return to the idea of a script that gets a vehicle from A to B, and to extend that into an analogy: You have a car in the real world, and you're driving it on your personal, land. Because you're rich and you have a lot of land (or at least BASIC on a C64 or Python on a Raspberry Pi or whatever). ...

Re: Event timeout issue-- scripters are revolting! ;D

Just adding to what Snoots has said ... You don't need to use two different events. I favour keeping everything inside a single event, specifically the link_message() event. At the end of your chunk of processing, send a message to yourself using llMessageLinked() to retrigger the event. To keep it ...

Re: Terrain files

A rezzer script is a rezzer script no matter what you call it and if a sim has problems handling a rez box with a complete region build, it will have exactly the same problem with RezMela working on that scale. There are plenty of other solutions though. The trick is to spread out the rezzing a bit...
