PRIM GLOW

Looking for the current API? Open the PRIM_GLOW reference →

Wiki description

PRIM_GLOW is used to get or set the glow status of the face. Use the integer number 25 if the compiler rejects the named constant.

Examples

basic syntax to set glow
// adjust as desired .3 to a float number from 0 to 1.0 inclusive
// adjust as desired ALL_SIDES to specific prim faces if desired

llSetPrimitiveParams( [ PRIM_GLOW, ALL_SIDES, .3 ] ) ;
basic syntax to get glow status
list mylist = llGetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_GLOW,ALL_SIDES] );
llSay(0, llList2CSV(mylist));

//Assuming for this example that all sides are set to the same float of .3 
//In a box, which has 6 sides, the above example returns 0.300000, 0.300000, 0.300000, 0.300000, 0.300000, 0.300000
//In a prism, which has 5 sides, returns 0.300000, 0.300000, 0.300000, 0.300000, 0.300000
//In a sphere, which has only 1 side (as it were), returns 0.300000
//change ALL_SIDES to a specific prim face if desired.
//Each time the prim is touched, the intensity of the glow is increased (until it maxes out and cycles back to zero).
integer steps = 10;
integer counter = 0;

default 
{
    touch_start(integer total_number) 
    { 
        llSetPrimitiveParams( [ PRIM_GLOW, ALL_SIDES,  counter / (steps - 1.0) ]);
        counter = (counter + 1) % steps;
    } 
}
//Each time the prim is touched, the intensity of the glow is decreased (until it hits zero and cycles back to one).
integer steps = 10;
integer counter = 0;

default 
{
    touch_start(integer total_number) 
    { 
        llSetPrimitiveParams( [ PRIM_GLOW, ALL_SIDES,  counter / (steps - 1.0) ]);
        counter = (counter + steps - 1) % steps;
    } 
}
