<lsl>//Tells the owner the alpha on all sides default {
state_entry() { integer i = 0; integer max = llGetNumberOfSides(); while(i < max) { llSay(0,"Face "+(string)i+" alpha is " + (string)llGetAlpha(i)); ++i; } }}</lsl>
Useful Snippets
<lsl>float AveragePrimAlpha() {//Since this is so simple you may just want to inline it instead of including the function.
return (llGetAlpha(ALL_SIDES) / llGetNumberOfSides());
}</lsl>
