Free Stuff at Sarah.....and basic scripts

I tried today the scripting language in SL....which as usual with "hello world"

it seems easy to do but it really needs exploring in wiki SL to find the functions you need at

http://rpgstats.com/wiki/index.php?title=Detected

it's not easy to modify especially to hard things like the stuff in the CD inclosed with the textbook.
this code to detect the name of the avatar...
float time = 0.1;
default
{
//the touch envoked when the avatar touch the object
//and detect his name by llDetectedName(0)
touch(integer num_detected)
{
llSay(0, "Hello!"+ llDetectedName(0));//here the object says hello "name"
//and this message will be heard within 20 meters

}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llSay(0, "hello");// this function will just say hello when touched
llSetTimerEvent(0.1);//the last event will remain for 1 second

}
timer()
{
time = time + 0.1;
}
touch_end(integer num_detected)
{
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
llInstantMessage(llDetectedKey(0),llDetectedName(0) + ".... you held down your mouse button for " + (string)time + "seconds.");// at the end of the touch event the object will tell the user how long time he has held down his mouse.
}
}


but I really like the script codes....

once again the movement is difficult and you may loss your patiance at any time.

the Free Stuff I found in amazing land at

sarah nerd's

but that earing money in SL needs help and moving from the SL to another website to fill in a survey....just an example... and dancing is another way to earn money....

Blogger just now has become clever and saves your drafts automatically!!!!...

another thing is that using < result in error!!!!!!!!

Movement in the SL..could be easier...

It's the first problem I've met in SL. Because, in my personal opinion, the SL would work more effieciant if it doesn't depent on the keyboard. Most of the successful games use untraditional input devices which called "Novel Technology"<<<< if my memory helps me.

In order to find another means rather than the arrows in the keyboard or the mouse to flay,just an example, I use the shortcuts like ctrl+shft to change the size of an object or E to fly rather than press fly button to do so. Many shortcuts are useful but still boring way to use the keyboard for the movement actions in SL. Hopefully there is another way.

in the script area, I find myself has not known yet when I will start using them especially that they stay in the last chapters of the textbook "creating your world" but I've found in the CD, don't miss out, enclosed with the textbook intersting things like drive a plane or car, I just want to know when I really need them ...

Finally, I attend a class at the SL with a group called Heartbeats....for the scripting topic...

Create an Object in Second Life




Today, I learned how can make and conrol an object in Second Life. To do so I just click the right button and choose create and the chang the size, rotatation, colour and more....
that was from chapter 2 in the Textbook "Creating your World".

honstly, it was amazing but I have not getten an access to the University island So I chose any land to do that. I also had a lesson in priemer to create a video and put a title on it. I will keep working in this way for the next week and hopefuly I can manage to do what I'm supposed to do soon.
Later on, I will refer to Second Life as "SL"
thank you....
best regards
