LSL tests: recursive function

Sander — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:56:34 +0000

It’s good practice to make code easy to maintain, so sometimes you’ll want to use less code using recursive functions. In order to find out how to this works in Second Life I created this small recusive example:

integer i = 0;
integer top = 0;
integer Monkeys()
{
    llOwnerSay("monkeys");
    i++;
    if (i <= top)
        return Monkeys();
    else
        return i;
}
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!");
    }
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        i = 0;
        top = Monkeys();
        llOwnerSay((string)top);
    }
}

This script says monkeys an increasing amount of times every time you touch it by calling itself if and keeping track of the total amount of times the function is called. First time there will be 1 monkey, next time 2 monkeys etc. Find more products at our shop in Badmoon.

LSL tests: walking states

Sander — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:45:00 +0000

I had to create a simple script to turn a neon sign on and off. I decided to have both versions of the sign in a single texture and changing the offset with a script. Instead of using a timer and using llSetTimeout() instead I opted to pause the script for a small amount of time. The script does not respond when it’s sleeping which should be less laggy then the timeout. All i do then at the start of a state is offsetting the texture to show the on/off alternatively.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llOffsetTexture(0.0,0.25,ALL_SIDES);
        llSleep(1.37);
        state off;
    }
}

state off
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llOffsetTexture(0.0,0.75,ALL_SIDES);
        llSleep(.723);
        state default;
    }
}

Hope this is of use to you. See the result in our Higher / Lower game at Badmoon.

Purple Rain DJ Event Flyer

Sander — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 20:53:26 +0000

As you can see below I created a flyer/poster for an event in Second Life. For those who don’t know, Second life is a virtual world created entirely by its users. Anyone can create an account and log on to build things, meet people for a chat, or dance in a club for example. Or fight in a Star Wars battle as a wookie. Or watch a movie in a cinema. Yep if you can think of it, you can probably do it.

Anyway, on friday night between 1-3pm PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) I have a DJ set in a nightclub called Purple Rain. I play some trip-hop, electro to a small crowd for a few hours. The club has decided to organize a DJ Talent contest and asked me to create a promotional poster. As there was a lot of information to put on and no photos so I decided to play around with positioning, grouping and lighting of text. The result is below. I think it turned out well.

How do you promote your SL event?

Update: I do not play at Purple Rain anymore. Find me “Cloudseer Writer” online in Second Life.
