Tour+of+CHSS+Island

CHSS Tour Vehicle Team


 * AJ
 * 1) Steve Handelman

Below is the text that makes up the notecard mentioned on the main page. The task will be to go to each location, check to make sure the coordinates are correct, that the timing of the text chat is ok, and then to test the tour.

Here is a brief explanation of what makes up these entries


 * //config//**
 * //phys_timeout | 60//**
 * //default_phys | 1//**
 * //sleep | 7//**

//None of these options should be changes. Anything starting with a// is a comment and won't be read by the script. So, when you enter //you can write anything you want afterward. Usually this is used to give information or instructions to whomever is reading the notecard (reminders to self, other programmers, future programmers, etc....)//


 * intro**
 * say | 2 | Welcome to the Montclair State CHSS Island Tour. Please "sit" on the book (if you've not done so already) and the tour will begin shortly.**

When you see "say" in front of something, that is a command that is telling the script to write what comes afterward into the text chat, where those in the surrounding area will see it. So, when the tour vehicle is first rezzed, the person standing there will see "Welcome to Montclair State CHSS Island Tour. Pleast "sit"....." etc... I believe the number in between the pipes (the | symbol is called a "pipe") has something to do with delay. How long to wait before saying the text, in this case.

//This command is setting the global position to our island. If we wanted to do this on another island, that information would get changed.//
 * //set global position (Montclair State CHSS)//**
 * //global_pos | <655, 1100, 0>//**

Again, after a delay (2 seconds maybe), following the last action, the text will show up in text chat.
 * starting point, say something nice :)**
 * say | 2 | You are currently in the main greeting and arrival area for the Montclair State CHSS Island.**

I'm going to break all three of these lines down one at a time.
 * //stop 1//**
 * //move | lookat | 4.0 | <208, 253, 27>//**
 * //say | 5 | The SL amphitheater was built in June of 2007 and donated anonymously. It was designed to look like the Amphitheater on campus at MSU.//**

This is a comment, it is telling us that this is the first stop This line is telling the object the script is in to "move" and then to "look" or face in the direction it is heading. The 4.0 pertains to the speed with which the object will move and then number inside the prompt symbols is the location on the sim - 208 on the X axis (which I believe is north/south), 253 on the Y axis (which I believe is east/west), and 27 on the Z axis (which is up/down). So this location is 27m above the ground at the intersection of 208 and 253. This last line is telling the program to say the text into text chat (btw, you can also use "shout" to reach up to 96m away, and "whisper" for up to 10m. The range on "say" is 20m).
 * stop 1**
 * move | lookat | 4.0 | <208, 253, 27>**
 * say | 5 | The SL amphitheater was built in June of 2007 and donated anonymously. It was designed to look like the Amphitheater on campus at MSU.**
