Flame, my KittyCat, is 4000 days old today 🙂 She’s spent all of those days rezzed, sometime wandering around the house, often getting stuck in the bottom of the old house’s pool before I wrote a safety net for her lol
It seems only like yesterday she was riding on my shoulder.
Time flies.
Feel free to skip this is you have no interest in scripting 🙂
When we script an object to rez another object, we tend to want to delete the rezzed object afterwards. There are a couple of ways to do this.
The first involves no script at all; you can rez the object marked as a temporary object, and some time in the next 120 seconds, the simulator code will delete it. This is great for very short lived things like bullets rezzed from a gun, but if you need the rezzed object to stick around until you decide to delete it, you need something else.
The naïve way to do it is to pre-load the object to be rezzed with a simple script that listens to the rezzer, and when it receives an appropriate message, it called llDie () to delete itself. This is simple, works, but has the downside of increasing the number of scripts in the object, which can negatively affect land impact.
I wrote a post a while back discussing how to delete an object by loading a script into it via llRemoteLoadScriptPin (). This avoids pre-loading a script; you load the script into the rezzed object when you want the object to delete itself. Unfortunately, this also has a downside. Because llRemoteLoadScriptPin () causes the calling script to sleep three seconds, it can be exceedingly slow to delete a large number of objects. It’s also far more complex to set up that the naïve way, but it does eliminate the possibility of increasing land impact with pre-loaded scripts.
Having struggled with this problem forever, scripters demanded a better method, and the Lab responded by defining a new function in a simulator release to delete rezzed objects: llDerezObject ().
Yay! Now instant deletes, no delays, no extra scripts required!
(I wrote this so I can link my old post mentioned above to it. If people find the old post then they also have the opportunity to discover this new and better method).
Finally, a freebie worthy of a post! It seems that all the creators are taking a vacation all at the same time, and this is the first outfit I’ve found in a month that’s been worth photographing.
This dress and pantyhose set is a group gift for members of the teleporthub.com group, which is L$10 to join.
The dress is sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Bombshell, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Waifu, and Star. The pantyhose are BoM.
The gold sparkles are animated, which is an impressive look on top of the dress already being materials enabled! My photos barely do the animation justice, and it’s a must-see in person. Run and get it 🙂
Second Life is celebrating it’s 22nd birthday, and celebrations are officially open today.
There are 76 regions full of things to experience!
And of course, the Shop & Hop is on, with 480 creators spread over 24 regions.
FabFree have again done a marvelous job of putting together a spreadsheet listing the gifts available at the Shop & Hop. Make sure you head over to FabFree’s Info Hub in-world and show them some Linden Love for doing this!
My plan is to wait until Monday SLT, when the crowds might thin out a little as people are back at work in the US and EU. But I couldn’t resist showing you at least one giftie today 🙂
This superbly detailed lingerie is a gift from deviousMind. There are fits for Lara and Reborn. The stockings are BoM, and all the other pieces are rigged mesh (which is good because everything moves with you, but bad because you can’t adjust how tight the pasties are hehe).
This is the lace version, but there is also a satin version in the pack.
As I mentioned, the detailing is superb; I had to take a closeup of the lilies and feathers.
This daring strappy number is the most recent group gift from Asteria Style. Their group is currently L$100 to join (they do have a number of past gifts of similar quality available, which may make the modest join fee attractive).
The skirt, harness top, panties, and bracers (the creator calls them “bracelets”) are separates. The skirt, panties, and bracers are sized for Lara, Kegacy, Reborn, Isis, Freya, Hourglass, and Kupra, and the top comes in the same sizes, with the addition of Lara Petite, Legacy Perky, and Kupra Kups.
This is a fatpack, and a HUD is included for each of the four pieces. They each have eleven colors to choose from, and there are four metal colors where appropriate.
The Evil Bunny Hunt is on at the moment, and I found this fab wrap romper. Hunt items are a tiny L$1.
There are sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Pinup, Kupra, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu.
I love the daisies on the black polka dots!
This is another FREE hunt item from the store hunt that Addams is running. You need to join their group to participate, but that’s FREE as well!
You have until the end of the month to find all the Easter eggs 🙂
The bra and panties are separates. They come in sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Bombshell, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Kupra, Reborn, Waifu, and Freya.
There is only this color, but the pack does include a HUD that lets you change the color of the metals.
While I was at Addams yesterday, I picked up this month’s FREE gift for group members. Addams is FREE to join.
I adore well-done floral textures, and this one is very nice. The dress is sized for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Bombshell, Kupra, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu.
There’s a second version with a top too, for all the same sizes.
Exciting news! Addams is running a FREE hunt for Easter. You must be in the group to participate, but that’s also FREE to join.
Included in the hunt items is this wonderful lace dress. It’s in sizes for Lara, Lara Petite, Lara X, Lara X Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Bombshell, Kupra, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, Reborn, Waifu, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass.
It’s only in this single color, but it does include a HUD to switch the sleeves and panty on and off. It also lets you set the color of the single button.
This is a pretty nice gift for FREE, and there are eight more just as nice waiting for you to find at the store!
The hunt runs until the end of the month, so there’s plenty of time for you to find all nine pieces.
