User Interface Project

Project Subject to change at any time due to being currently under development.

A project to try create an efficient, flexible and innovative User Interface in LSL. Without being complex to use or using a ridicolous amount of constants, providing direct results that can be returned and used by the scripter directly in a Master script for efficiency, or used via automation of a UI master to a link-message protocol sent to scripts written by the original scripter.

The User Interface Project is to create a UI that can be used in-world as well as on the HUD, providing pseudo-dynamic graphical feedback to the user(s).

Update: Due to issues with high size due to compiled code being quite extensive due to number of helper functions stacking up as well complexity of functions generally, as well as for general ease-of-use, I will be re-designing the project into an API.

Design, Components

Mode	Stuff
0	process touch_start() event, initialization
1	process touch() event, feedback, and get values
2	process touch_end() event and get values
3	get values
4	set values, refresh graphics
5	initalize, set default values, refresh

Design, Menu

Example notecard script 'uiMenu:Test' for child prim named 'Test'

    Button: Rect : 0.10, 0.90 | 0.20, 0.95 : Goto : Menu D : Transition : Anim : 1.0

uiFunctions

Turn

Turn component, imagine a turntable, or the 'iPod' menu. <lsl> link_message( integer sender, integer num, string str, key k ){ // Example use here.. } </lsl> Output Description return link message, num with (TBD) Returns Str as ¬ delimited list with values: [Angle], angle is in radians, -PI to 0 to PI, or when multiplied by RAD_TO_DEG it is -180 to 0 to 180. Empty list on error. return link message, num with (TBD) Returns Str as ¬ delimited list with values: [Final Angle], Empty list on error. Input Description link message, num, str, key Num (TBD) OR'd with Mode of uiFunction, As follows: 3 - Get or 4 - Set By Nexii Malthus
