Avatar Bump Detector
Objective: Provide a mechanism to report the names of avatars that have collided with the instructor. Designed in response to a comment in this RezEd.org forum.>
Interactivity
User wears an attachment with the script(below), bumps or gets bumped, then clicks the attachment to send a list of avatar names to a specified email address.
Features
- Object is worn as a HUD
- Send option - sends all bumped avatar names to wearer via email
- Reset option clears names and starts the "BumpLog" anew
- Show List option - displays running list of bumped avatars as HUD floating text
- Chat Bump option - writes each bump to Chat console
- Chat List option - writes current list to Chat console
- Color selection of floating text (allows suitable contrast with various backgrounds, lighting)
- Reward option - on bump, offers the bumper an item (object, notecard, landmark, clothing; as suggested by Paribus Habilis in the RezEd forum)
Operating the HUD
(Until final script is posted, please contact me in SL for a copy).
- Insert your email address (two ways to do this); Rez HUD on ground and...
- Edit script, inserting email address as directed there; or,
- Place email address in Description field
- To give a reward* object on bump:
- add a copy of the reward object with full permissions to the HUD, and
- insert the reward object's name into the script
- Take HUD back into Inventory
- Right-click HUD in Inventory and select "Wear" [Another location can be assigned by right-clicking HUD in viewer and selecting "Edit..."; then using handles to position HUD in suitable location in viewer.]
- Click the HUD, a menu should open. (You can choose to have names written to chat, hide the floating text, even change the color of the floating text.)
- Bump into other avatars; their names should then be listed above the HUD, and/or chatted, depending on your selections in menu. (By default, names are displayed above HUD but not reported in Chat.)
- Click HUD again, and select "Send" to have avatar names sent to you via email. List is cleared following this action (readied for another round).
* Consider using a notecard for the reward, since a notecard can contain a Landmark, Textures, and Objects. You can offer a congratulatory message, along with several items.
Simple Version
The script for a simple version is available via this link: AvatarBumpDetectorLSL.html
