making avatar bounce once?

[danikristine]

Hello,

I want to make a script that listens to local chat and when one particular "keyword" is said, the avatar gets pushed a few meters up in the air. Its suppose to be a little fun script.

Here is the bounce part of the script, which doesnt work though for some reason:

float force_amount = 10.0;

[...]

    {
         llPushObject(llKey2Name(id),<0,0,force_amount>, ZERO_VECTOR, FALSE);
    }

 it should push (bounce) the avatar of the ground, 10m straight up, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

The land is push enabled...

where does the key id come from for llKey2Name(id) ?

that comes from a listen command, where id = the avatar's UUID

 edit:

ok i made a little mistake in the script:

         llPushObject((id),<0,0,force_amount>, ZERO_VECTOR, FALSE);

 This would push the avatar, but only when they are standing on the object.

Is it possible to make the avatar bounce when they are further away from the object?

And you passed it to that function as a global variable or a function parameter?

[danikristine]

as a function parameter.

llPushObject expects the key and NOT the name.

 

llPushObject(id,<0,0,force_amount>, ZERO_VECTOR, FALSE);

The force applied by llPushObject() falls off as a function of the distance cubed; your force_amount parameter needs to correct for that.

If it already does, then perhaps it's just running out of energy, which is a function of the mass of the object doing the pushing.

ok thank you. Yeah i was experimenting with the "energy" and finally got it to work yay! \o/  so thanks
