There have been these things called "Groups" in Second Life for many years now. People reading the phrase "Simulator User Group" are likely to try to find an inworld group with that name. I would expect there to be such a group. It seems quite a poor job of communication to use this long standing term "group" when there is not only not such an inworld group, there's not a group at all, just a time and place for public meetings.

Feature Request?

Hello, i cant find a way to fill a Feature Request for scripting in JIRA because that i ask here. Would it be a good idea to seperate the alpha value inside llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsfast? I know that PRIM_COLOR provide the alpha value, but i dont want every time change the color.

  • for esample:
    • llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 1.0, ALL_SIDES); is good for change the alpha value of the complete linkset, but its a seperate funktion.
    • llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_SET,[PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, <1,1,1>, 1.0]); is bad when i dont want all prims in the linkset white.

Now i would ask, its possible to add PRIM_ALPHA to llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast for change the alpha value of the complete linkset without using seperate funktion like llSetLinkAlpha and without change the color? Daemonika Nightfire 07:55, 21 May 2013 (PDT)

I think it is a good idea. The color and alpha values are combined making it unhandy to change one, you must read both values to set then one. Using the llSetLinkAlpha and llSetLinkColor are than the only alternatives (however, the wiki states no delays for them.)
However, i do like the idea to make possible to issue a complex change while only color or only alpha of pim(s) is changed. I'd like to have than two constants PRIM_FACE_COLOR and PRIM_FACE_ALPHA to change only color and alpha value respectivelly.Jenna Felton 16:08, 21 May 2013 (PDT)
