| == LSL functions ==
| | |
| === Random negative chat channel ===
| |
| This LSL function should, according to my calculations, return a random negative integer in the range -2,000,000,000 to -1,000,000, suitable for use as a dialog chat channel.
| |
| <lsl>integer GetDialogChannel ()
| |
| {
| |
| return (integer) llFrand (-1999000001.0) - 1000000;
| |
| }</lsl>
| |
| === Ordinal suffix ===
| |
| This LSL function takes an integer and returns a string that is the integer with its ordinal suffix ("st", "nd", "rd" or "th") appended.
| |
| <lsl>string OrdinalSuffix (integer number)
| |
| {
| |
| string result = "th"; //for all except 1s, 2s and 3s, but including 11, 12 and 13
| |
| number = number % 100; //just the 10s
| |
| if (number < 4 || number > 20) //exclude the teens (and their neighbours)
| |
| {
| |
| number = number % 10; //just the units
| |
| if (number == 1) result = "st"; //*1st
| |
| else if (number == 2) result = "nd"; //*2nd
| |
| else if (number == 3) result = "rd"; //*3rd
| |
| }
| |
| return (string) number + result;
| |
| }</lsl>
| |
| === Format a metric measure to Imperial (or US) units, with fractional inches ===
| |
| This LSL function takes a float value representing a measure in metres and returns a string representing the equivalent Imperial (or US) measure in feet and inches, rounded to the nearest quarter inch, and expressed using the feet and inches symbols ' and ", and the fractional characters ¼, ½ and ¾.
| |
| <lsl>string FormatImperial (float metres)
| |
| {
| |
| string result = "";
| |
| float inches = metres / 0.0254;
| |
| integer whole_inches = (integer) (inches + 0.125);
| |
| float part_inches = inches - (float) whole_inches;
| |
| integer whole_feet = whole_inches / 12;
| |
| whole_inches = whole_inches % 12;
| |
| if (whole_feet) result += (string) whole_feet + "' ";
| |
| if (whole_inches) result += (string) whole_inches;
| |
| else if (part_inches < 0.125) result += "0";
| |
| if (part_inches >= 0.625) result += "¾";
| |
| else if (part_inches >= 0.375) result += "½";
| |
| else if (part_inches >= 0.125) result += "¼";
| |
| return result + "\"";
| |
| }</lsl>
| |
| === Pluralise ===
| |
| This LSL function takes an integer and a string and returns a string that is the input string with a lower-case "S" appended if the integer is not equal to 1.
| |
| <lsl>string Pluralise (integer number, string word)
| |
| {
| |
| if (number == 1) return word;
| |
| else return word + "s";
| |
| }</lsl>
