Object Controller using LSL with RayCasting to determine Target Vectors.
Allows a rotating polygon resting pattern that dynamically adapts to the amount of Drones rezzed in the world.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Upload the two LSL files to SL |
| 2 | Create inworld objects for HUD & Drone |
| 3 | Put the DroneController.lsl in the HUD |
| 4 | (Optional) Use the texture or UUID "a75e7ea2-b5cc-37c4-1dde-0d295ee515db" |
| 4 | Place the Drone.lsl in the Drone object |
| 5 | Copy the Drone object into the HUD |
| 6 | Attach & wear the HUD object |
Create a gesture to toggle on & off the DroneController.
- Add chat entry:
/9871 toggle - Keybind:
SHIFT + SPACE
Add a second gesture to detect an agent/target for the Drones.
- Add chat entry:
/9871 trigger - Keybind:
CTRL + SPACE
Enable the DroneController via your gesture hotkey to boot it up.
Use your camera/mouselook and aim at your desired target, followed by activation of the detect gesture.
The HUD hovertext will display the current target position (vector) or object/agent name if possible while in tracking mode.
As for the buttons on the HUD itself, they have the following functions:
- On/Off Toggle
- Switch between default & polygon mode
- Add (Rez) drone
- Remove last drone
- Purge all drones in the simulator
The "Rotation" and "Distance" sections ontop are both sliders.
Left to right equals 0-100% of the ROTATING & DISTANCE params respectively.
RATE 0.1 # Tick rate for position updates
CHECK 5.0 # Health check interval for drone status
TIMER 2.5 # Time in seconds until reset
RANGE 128.0 # Detection range, 4096m max
HEIGHT 1.5 # Hover height above the owner in meters
DISTANCE 0.2 # Distance between the drones for polygon resting
ROTATING 3.0 # Rotation increments in degrees per tick (set to 0 to disable)
CHANNEL 9871 # Gesture channel for the controllerMIT
