The problem arises in the fact that the 'Fast' version of this function actually runs the argument on a completely separate 'thread' and so is non-communicative with other functions for a brief time. A good example is llSetLinkPrimitiveParams and llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast: the only difference between them is 0.2 seconds response time, but because the wiki/description misinforms/doesn't clearly state that there is no actual 0.0 response time, that the 0.2 seconds should only be used in the cases where extremely-minute-time-frames are necessary (for real-time computation etc.). The first can be summed up and fixed in the same sentance instant is never instant and dealing with functions/events that make use of quicker response very often cause more problems than they're worth. ~ The worst is a tough call but it's somewhere between getting hung up on 'instant' technology, and the overuse of the function 'llListReplaceList'. Is that something you encounter, too? What're your thoughts on the Firestorm preproccesor amd use of libraries in LSL scripts?įantastic questions! I'll go through them one by one below:

Ranging from extremely introverted to full blown asshole narcissist, there seems to be very few exceptions. What are your thoughts on the matter, and how do you personally measure the effeciency of your scripts? How often do people approach you with a project then balk at paying you US minimum wage, let alone the actual rate peogrammers earn elsewhere? Many other scripters I encounter on SL tend to be. It devolves into a screaming or trolling match about how memory allotment means nothing, or how script time means nothing, or even that changes in script time during operation (ie, increase from idle state to firing in a gun) is not relevant.

What, something that isn't pushing a blog, on MY SL subreddit? What are some of the worst scripting practices you see in SL, and how can they be avoided or fixed? Coming from the SLMC, no one can agree on a good performance metric. Thanks in advance.ĮDIT 2: Wow this thing kinda blew up for the subreddit size! I appreciate all the kind words and gentle conversation this subreddit has had to offer, and so will be answering questions for a few more days seeing as how there are a lot! So if you have one: now's your chance! If you have a problem with the post, let me know so I can fix it instead of ruining others' chance to have their questions answered by hiding the post in the downvote pile. Also, someone was mighty trigger happy on that downvote button.

So with that let's begin: I am a professional scripter for the virtual reality simulator that is Second Life, AMAA!ĮDIT: Formatting. The last thing I want is to discourage honest questions but trolls will be trolls and bridges are everywhere.

~ Other than the above, feel free to ask anything personal and I'll either answer with a direct response to the best of my ability, or not at all. If I don't get back to you please don't feel bad as I am quite busy with my work and will likely respond if your question had even the slightest of merit. ~ I will be answering questions on-going as best as I can for a few days. If it would take more than a few lines though, you can contact me through IM and we can arrange for my services at a discounted rate ( FOR SCIENCE).

~ I WILL provide sample code in the instances where I deem a mechanic/function to be difficult/unfriendly and worthy of response, or simply to spark more interest. While I realize the potential hypocrisy of doing so, I will, however, provide the names of specific projects relating to what is asked as well - should it be necessary. Hopefully my answers should be enough to validate my knowledge through experiment (should it be a verifiable question that is asked). ~ I have no plans to share my own, or others', username in-game to avoid harassment and other possible unpleasantries. ~ Though I also do well in Java, C# and others I would prefer to keep questions related directly to LSL else we get off topic of the subreddit. ~ I specialize in front-end scripting, in that I mainly write code that will be expressed visually to the target audience, or at least through the senses, though am also quite versed in back-end code as well. ~ I am in no way directly affiliated with Linden Labs, though I have (and do) work with those who are.

The below guidelines might help filter some of the questions before they're asked so I don't come across as a pompous, I know everything about SL type OP. As the title says, I've been a professional coder for several years and figured I would answer some of my knowledge the user base might have about (almost) anything in SL to the best of my ability.
