Purpose

This script replaces all the button scripts for controlling the LSL Test Harness it requires a modified controller.controller script.

Even though this is a test harness I felt it should follow a "best practice" of reducing unnecessary script usage when possible.

Usage

Create a root prim and place the controller_ui and controller.controller scripts inside it.

Add 17 "button" prims and name them as follows:

TestSelectedButton::unit TestSelectedButton::group SetTestSelected::ALL SetReportType::STATS SetReportType::VERBOSE SetReportType::QUIET SetReportType::NORMAL ReportMethodButton::HTTP ReportMethodButton::EMAIL ReportMethodButton::CHAT system::ActivateTest system::ActivateReport system::ActivateRegistration system::BigRed config::reset config::controlChannelButton config::broadcastChannelButton


SetReportType, ReportMethod and the SetTestSelected,TestSelectedButton tagged buttons work as radio groups. Only one item can be active at a time in the set. All others act as single buttons.

What next?

Add texture support for the buttons for readable labels. Ensure 100% functionality as a replacement for buttons. Allow for expandability with custom buttons.
