[Opensim-users] Does OpenSim fully support Linden Script?

[Wade Schuette]

Han,

  There are many approaches but I don't understand enough about what you 
want to accomplish.

Is your airplane simply "scenery", that would have no passengers, and 
you just want it to fly around like a robot bird?

Is it a type of "tour bus" that you want to be able to take passengers 
around a 3-D route you have already decided and specified?

And, regardless,  how would you WANT to design a route besides 
specifying coordinates,   or at least going to desired points and 
specifying "... then HERE, ..." ?

One of the nicer "tour bus" products in Second Life lets me just move 
along the desired route and lay down temporary markers that are "then 
HERE...." points for the route,  but then ALSO records the coordinates 
for those in a text file (notecard)  so they can be edited later, not 
only for the order in which they are visited,  but for the TIMING.   How 
long should I pause here,  how fast should I go over this leg, etc.   
And, the script lets me toss in commands to "say" when I get to each 
point, so animations can be triggered when the car gets to that point.

Mostly I'm frustrated that the note cards have to be edited in-world, I 
wish they were stored in some MySQL database that I could edit without 
having to recompile the scripts and restart them every time I learn a 
little more about how the tour is going and who wants to stay longer at 
certain points.

Is THAT the sort of thing you want?
