Hello,

I have a virtual texture and I added a border to it with a simple transparent billboard like this:

Now I want to have a script that lets me toggle the border on/off.
I took example on a script made by Cham but that doesn’t work for me. (Nothing happened) :evil:

Here is the script:

Code: Select all

-- Title: Vatican border on/ff

front = celestia:find("Sol/Earth/frontiere_vatican")
front:setvisible(not front:visible())

if front:visible() then
   celestia:print("Vatican border ON", 2)
else
   celestia:print("Vatican border OFF", 2)
end

And the ssc file:

Code: Select all

SurfaceObject "frontiere_vatican" "Sol/Earth"
{
   Class "surfacefeature"
   Mesh "frontiere.cmod"
   Emissive true
   Radius 0.567
   FixedPosition { Planetographic [ 12.4521 41.90423 0.01 ] }
   FixedAttitude { Heading 180 }
   #Orientation [0 1 0 0]
}

What is wrong? :?:

Try so:

Code: Select all

-- Title: Vatican border on/ff

front = celestia:find("Sol/Earth/frontiere_vatican")
front_select = celestia:select(front)
front:setvisible(not front:visible())

if front:visible() then
   celestia:print("Vatican border ON", 2)
else
   celestia:print("Vatican border OFF", 2)
end

and put Visible false in the .ssc

Code: Select all

SurfaceObject "frontiere_vatican" "Sol/Earth"
{
   Class "surfacefeature"
   Visible false
   Mesh "frontiere.cmod"
   Emissive true
   Radius 0.567
   FixedPosition { Planetographic [ 12.4521 41.90423 0.01 ] }
   FixedAttitude { Heading 180 }
   #Orientation [0 1 0 0]
}

Massimo,

Thank you very much.
But it is not better.

The only difference is that now I can't even see the border.

Try to make 2 scripts:
front_visible.celx

Code: Select all

-- Title: Vatican border on
front = celestia:find("Sol/Earth/frontiere_vatican")
front_select = celestia:select(front)
front:setvisible(true)
celestia:print("Vatican border ON", 2)

front_invisible.celx

Code: Select all

-- Title: Vatican border off

front = celestia:find("Sol/Earth/frontiere_vatican")
front_select = celestia:select(front)
front:setvisible(false)
celestia:print("Vatican border OFF", 2)

and remove Visible false from .ssc. Otherwise you need a function keyboard based or the LUATOOLS. (whether I'm not wrong...)

As I was trying your suggestions I found this:
Because I work on virtual textures, I run celestia with a url link that takes me above Rome.
The problem is that this link set the time to pause and the script does not start.

The problem is solved!
The script was not guilty but I was :oops:

The line "Visible false" is a good idea and I keep it :wink:

Thank you again.
