Example of how a notecard is read from a script (the notecard needs to be named 'config'):
//Remove this line for this script to work. //This script is an example of how to read a notecard. It will allow you to set the configurations of Hovertext using a Notecard. //PLEASE NOTE: THE NOTECARD WE WANT TO READ MUST BE IN THE SAME OBJECTS CONTENTS FOLDER AS THIS SCRIPT. //Notecards are read form the first line BUT the first line is given the value of 0 so a 5 line notecard would be read like this: // Line 0: This is the first line. // Line 1: This is the second line. // Line 2: This is the third line. // Line 3: This is the forth line. // Line 4: This is the fifth line. string gName = "config"; //Name of notecard we wish to read key HTextKey; //This is the key we will use to call for hovertext key ColorKey; //This is the key we will use to call the color key AlphaKey; //This is the key we will use to call the transparancy of teh text. //Declaring variables to be used later. string Htext; vector Color; float Alpha; list temp; default { state_entry() { //Using the key below we can ask the script to read the notecard on certain lines.. HTextKey = llGetNotecardLine(gName, 0); ColorKey = llGetNotecardLine(gName, 1); AlphaKey = llGetNotecardLine(gName, 2); } dataserver(key query_id, string data) { temp = []; if(query_id == HTextKey)//Filtering the call { if (data != EOF) // not at the end of the notecard { temp = llParseString2List(data,[" = "],[]); Htext = (string)llList2String(temp,1); //Give Htext the same value as data. //Data being what is read on the notecard. } } if(query_id == ColorKey)//Filtering the call { if (data != EOF) // not at the end of the notecard { temp = llParseString2List(data,[" = "],[]); Color = (vector)llList2String(temp,1); //Give Color the same value as data. //Data being what is read from the notecard //Also note that data is being casted as a vector as that is what we will need to set the color. } } if(query_id == AlphaKey)//Filtering the call { if (data != EOF) // not at the end of the notecard { temp = llParseString2List(data,[" = "],[]); Alpha = (float)llList2String(temp,1);//Give Alpha the same value as data. //data being what is read from the notecard. //Also note that data is being casted as a float as that is what is needed for the alpha. //Using the infomation retrieved we can now set up the hovertext. llSetText(Htext, Color, Alpha); } } llOwnerSay(Htext + " " + (string)Color + " " + (string)Alpha); } on_rez(integer start_param) { llResetScript(); } }
