Here's a small script for a football. The ball can be kicked by just walking against it. Touching it causes the ball to bounce up in the air a couple of feet. You can also talk to it by saying "kick" which causes the ball to move with a certain vector strength and direction. "High kick" makes the ball going forward up in the air.
default {
state_entry () {
llListen (0, "", "","");
// Make sure that Physical is turned on
llSetStatus (1, TRUE);
}
collision_start (integer total_number) {
// Get the vector that points from the kicker to the ball
vector diff = llGetPos() - llDetectedPos(0);
// Force the z coordinate up
diff.z = .1;
// Scale the vector to a fixed length
vector kick_vector = llVecNorm(diff)*5;
// Apply the kick vector to the ball
llApplyImpulse(kick_vector, FALSE);
}
listen (integer channel, string name, key id, string message) {
if (message == "kick") {
// Get the vector that points from the kicker to the ball
vector diff = llGetPos() - llDetectedPos(0);
// Force the z coordinate up
diff.z = .1;
// Scale the vector to a fixed length
vector kick_vector = llVecNorm(diff)*10;
// Apply the kick vector to the ball
llApplyImpulse(kick_vector, FALSE);
}
else if (message == "high kick") {
// Get the vector that points from the kicker to the ball
vector diff = llGetPos() - llDetectedPos(0);
// Set the z-coordinate high up
diff.z =500;
// Scale the vector to a fixed length
vector kick_vector = llVecNorm(diff)*25;
// Apply the kick vector to the ball
llApplyImpulse(kick_vector, FALSE);
}
}
touch_start (integer total_number) {
// Create a manual kick vector where only the z-coordinate has a value separate from zero
vector kick_vector = <0.0,0.0,0.0>;
// Apply the kick vector to the ball
llApplyImpulse(kick_vector, FALSE);
}
}
Copy/type the script into the script editor pane when creating/replacing a new script for an object. Remember you have to be in a place where scripting is allowed to modify it and see the changes in action. Second Sweden allows it and there are many more places.
Here are a couple of reference pages to get you started:
