Unlinking Objects

Using an almost unheard of search engine called Google I have uncovered how to unlink objects in Second Life.

Simply hit Ctrl, Shift, L.

Shock! Horror!

Also, im looking into other ways of creating objects in Second Life, there's not much out there but the search will push on.

Update on Prototype

Hey guys, Ive been doing more scripting on the prototype this mourning,

Firstly I need Chaddy to give me permission to use the scripts on his patient, then I can just copy the script across from the sphere prim (which is my subbed patient at the moment).


This is what I was able to do:
  • The patient starts in the default state of looking blue, and dumdumdum,
  • Coughing, yes that's right I was able to upload a wav of myself coughing, and then loop that sound while the patient is in the default state
  • You are able to click on the oxygen tank which then allows you to turn it on
  • Once the oxygen tank is turned on, then the patient enters a state of breathing, the coughing loop stops and the patient turns to a remotely neutral colour (I'll need to be more accurate with the skin colour for the final product - the RGB values are in a percentage from 0 to 1 which is annoying)
  • Once the oxygen tank is on, you are able to turn it off again - this then sends the patient blue and coughing his guts up once again... (OOO the humanity)
So hopefully my cound loop drives you all insane enough to turn the oxygen tank on for the poor patient.


I tried to get some sort of Reset button scripted, but had trouble with it interfering with the way that the dialogue box on the oxygen works (and so I will sort out that problem another day). I'm happy with the way that the scripts work at the moment coz that actually WORK!

If you haven't seen the prototype for a while then log on to SL, and check it out.

NOTE: I'm off to the footy tonight (GO PIES) and so if Chaddy doesn't share the scripts on the patient before I'm off tonight all you have to do is copy the one on the sphere (above the patients head) and paste it into the patients head (literally!)

Thanks guys

Happy Prototyping :D

PLEASE have a look at this link - https://support.secondlife.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=4417

there is bound to be at least one thing which will be usefull in here for everyone.

I WILL KEEP POSTING THIS UNTIL I GET EVERYONE TO SIGN IT/LEAVE A COMMENT - no excuses.

Land & Video


Hey guys – just got the streaming video to work in SL – woopee.

BUT (and this is a big but) you can only have 1 steaming video per ‘package’.
I’m proposing we use both Land spaces and sub – divide. (similar to image but not necessarily exactly the same). This way we can duplicate the basic prims and have the settings for each scenario on each space. The user can then teleport to each scenario (level) when they wish and it will help when it comes to the scripting.

We’ll discuss this further in this weeks Thursday meeting – but for now our main focus is still the SADD and the Prototype.

Presentation Layer Update

Ive researched some of the major medical equipment in the case study and have divided them up evenly.


Presentation Layer:
User Interface - Joel
Building Layout - Chaddy
Prototype Sketches - Chaddy
Elaborated Storyboards - Joel and Chaddy

Medical Equipment Sketches -
Joel
- IV pump on stand with burette
- Hudson oxygen mask
- Oxygen tank on stand
- Oxygen saturation monitor
- Crash trolley
- Defeibrilator

Chaddy
- Nasal prongs
- ECG (Electrocardiogram)
- Patient buzzer board
- Heart monitor
- IV on stand (Intravenous)
- Venturi mask
- Drug trolley

Refer to the case study or use google to get an understanding on what they look like.

Prototype **UPDATE**

Was also thinking for the prototype - if we have time - it would be good to imbed a video too; as this feature will be predominant in the module.

---- EDIT by Ben----

Was an extremely productive night in Second Life tonight. Well done boys.

We've got a room coming along with Joel's bed in prominent position.

Me (ben) and Luke sorted out how to have popup options from left clicking an object as well as getting objects to react to each others changes (which is how to link everything together basically).

If you go into our land you can try out those scripts by left clicking the box in the air (inside the room), if you then chose to make the box go up, then the nearby sphere will say "I'm Listening".

The Prototype is coming along very nicely (and remember the SADD stuff for this week boys!)
