snippet - Limit floats numbers and vectors to 2 digits.

-
Two little LSL functions to limit floats to only 2 digits.



string float2Str(float in)
{
    return (string)((integer)in) + "." + (string)((integer)((in - (integer)in) * 100));
}

string vector2Str(vector v) 
{
    return "<" + float2Str(v.x) + ", " + float2Str(v.y) + ", " + float2Str(v.z) + ">";
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        vector v = <215.7509, 235.845750, 4001.50356>;
        
        llOwnerSay((string) v + "  =======  " + vector2Str(v));
    }
}


If you wants less or more decimals you must modify the float2Str function and change the 100 by 10 if you want only 1 decimal or 1000, 10000, etc if you want more decimals.

Lighting in the virtual world

Image
 Several months ago I decided to go to a disco and because there were so many people the lag was unbearable. So I kept my graphics to a minimum. When I returned to my virtual home, I forgot to put the graphic configuration as I had previously. I noticed something very strange, it was totally dark but the lights were not on. One of the most basic scripts that can be done is to detect when it is night or day. If it is night, turn on the lights automatically. But my script apparently didn't work, why? To investigate the matter, I built a tool that marked the position of the sun. The script comes below: string GetTimeOfDay ( float dayFraction ) { integer hours = ( integer ) ( dayFraction * 24 ) ; integer minutes = ( integer ) ( dayFraction * 24 * 60 ) % 60 ; integer percent = ( integer ) ( dayFraction * 100 ) ; return ( string ) hours + " : " + llGetSubString ( ( string ) ( 100 + minutes ) , 1 , 2 ) + " ( " + ( string ) pe...

Linksets in SecondLife (2)

-
Before approaching the script to make links securely while maintaining the original order, I will explain a trick to do it without scripts . Rez the object you want to add and link it to a newly created primitive. Link the target object (for example the car) to the newly created object. Unlink the root prim, that is, the primitive you just created. And that's all. If you have experimented with the LinkSpy.lsl script on all primitives you will see that the order is correct. Using the script that I created the instructions are a bit more complex, there are six steps instead of three. Put the JJReLink script in the inventory of object. Click the object. Object will ask for link permissions. click on Yes Link object you can add to linkset. (Ctrl + L) Click on object again. Remove JJReLink script and check that everything is working Warning: This script to work temporarily breaks all links. Make sure your object is not physical before use, or all parts...

About the death and rebirth of my auto greeter

-
 One of the peculiarities of lsl scripts is that like any other programming language, they evolve over time. Inevitably some very old things can stop working properly. An example is an automated greeter that sends a welcome message to all visitors. Additionally it also maintains a list with the last 100 visitors. Since I built it in 2007 or 2008 I have never sold more than 5 or 6. One of the reasons is that there is one that is free and uses an external LAMP server (Linux + Apache + MySql + PHP) or similar. It is also true that I must have updated it a few times since then. Other scripters even having the competition of the free greeter have considerably improved their scripts by adding other features that the free greeter does not have. I have recently observed that my automated greeter is not working properly when click the option to list the last 100 visitors. It only shows the first 64 in the list, then it stops. At first I did not know how to diagnose what was happening. ...
