Thanks DuskRider,

Very useful, especially when my Hal is not supposed to be moving (Simulated sleep).


Will look out for the girl.  Thanks again.

Whether this is on or off topic is up to the members, but.

In the graphics department I have acquired several full body characters from several places, but.

All the characters seem to be permanently walking, in very short steps admittedly. Is there any way to make a character stand still?

I would have put this request on the Learning Level thread but it seems to have died.

Grateful for any help.

Comes back over a month later.  This is how a thread dies?  No great shout just a total loss of interest.  Is there nobody out there?

Another thought.

Does Hal have a WAIT state.

I tell Hal to turn back to me, and walk to a BackgroundFile location in 3 seconds and then turn front to me.  What happens is Hal drifts backwards to the walk to point.

Welcome any suggestions from anybody knowledgeable on this action.

My idea is to add the WAIT states between the actions.

Thanks.  Possibly off-line for a while now so I leave plenty of time for thoughts from knowledgeable members.

We all appreciate security but I wonder if it is possible to do some other things?

Anyone who works the Scripting Editor knows that commands are written out in blue, if they are accepted.  Now I tried the Microsoft Excel command Gosub and its Return.  They seem to be accepted but I cannot find the format for the Gosub point.  [ In Microsoft Excel it would be something like:-
                   Decision:
on a line of its own.]

What is the format in Hal?
It would help with recursive programming.

Also some way of cleaning the databases Hal uses for erasing duplicate entries.

Thanks for your time.

I agree with Ultra-Hal fan.  Keep the old characters.  I started only a short while ago and immediately went for the full body characters.  I don't know much about the very modern tablets but I have always used my Hal on a laptop I rebuilt.  This means I can take Hal with me where ever I go.

More add to than reply,

Might not e available on the net for some time (No net connection available where I will be)

Still it has gone very quiet on this thread  (Say am I just talking to myself?)

Anybody out there on this thread?

Some progress on my projects, like when you say 'go to the beach' Hal changes into beachwear and the beach appears and other things happen.

Sadness, my post of yesterday has disappeared.

Looked up VrHaptek and there are three hair types in it.

Raybe:- Are you the member who contributed that list [ By category] of all the haps available on the forum?  If so many thanks it gave me plenty of springboards for alterations I have made to my Hal.  Hope this post lives.

Hy Lightspeed, and others,

First shot at changing hair colours with Haptars would be Tedathomes skydrive for Hair Auburn (Hope you don't mind my quote Tedathome).  There are some others on Hap documents p001, p003, p005.  I will try to look up where I got my others, if it is of any use to you.

I load my different hair colours from the Bodyskins folder as such:-

\load [file= bodyskins/hair5_EXP.htr]

That one is long blonde hair in p001 I think.

You will need to delete other hair colours before you put a new one on as such:-

\delperson[file= hair5_EXP.htr]

That deletes the above blonde hair.  It is a good idea to put one of these deletes for every hair colour you use in each hair colour hap.  Such as:-

hair6_blonde (which is a lighter blonde)

Hope this is useful but I suspect you may already know all this.

Anybody got an answer to my problem with the options, as my post above?

Hi Cload, and any others reading,

As I said my computer is well protected and the reboot is automatic (But does take time.).  In my time away I tend to agree that a virus was not the cause of my computer crashing.  I am in the process of building a computer add-on that feeds external sensors into the computer as signals.  Interfaced to Hal this would give Hal knowledge of the environment [light/dark, warm/cold etc.].  It is very much in the design stage but so far the results are promising.

Hy All.
Bit of a warning.  I tried splicing a Web Search Program by On Cutting Edge to the point in Hal's program when it admits it doesn't know about something and connects the user to the Internet.  The idea was for Hal to do it's own Web searching on the item it admitted knowing nothing about and then downloading the information found into its brain.  Unfortunately Hal found something with a virus in it that downed my entire system [Including Hal itself.]  Thanks to an automated re-boot I built into the laptop Hal resides on when I re-built the laptop, there is not much damage but Hal is having some problems so I will be off line possibly for two ro three weeks.  See you soon, I hope.

Hy Lightspeed, and others of course.
Apologize for the delay in answering but I travel a lot and use a dongle to connect to the Internet that doesn't function so well in some circumstances. 

Lightspeed.  Sorry to possibly disappoint you but I use Haps to change hair colours [Although there not always reliable.]  I collect haps from all over the place and hair colours are one sort I collected.  If you want details of the haps [And the associated .jpg's] just ask and I will get back to you.

Freddy is quite right that Dusky has a lot of things to do with fullbody Hals [I get a lot of them myself]

Anyway I am back, sort of, for now so any questions I can help with just ask.

One puzzle I have is I use Script to load my characters attributes [Hair colour, Background (By time of day) and position on screen] but I have it loaded and the Hello screen then comes over it. (You know the words Hal says on sign on.) I can get rid of the words but the selection screen still overwrites my set up.  Is there a way of cancelling this so I can just load Hal from my desktop icon direct?
Thanks in advance for any help and I will help with anything you think I can.

Hy Cload.

No need to be sorry, it was just a thought that the problem might interest you, maybe.

As to starting a new thread, I might and call it something eye catching like "Newbies, and others, arise." [Again just a thought.]

Hy Cload

Not exactly with you there but I guess that is the order you think Hal operates commands.  I will try resequencing my commands to this order and let you know.  Most of my problems I post for others interest and go on to solve them for myself.  Maybe this might interest you though [maybe].  From somewhere [I have no doubt someone will lay claim to having originated this] I found a set of Haps for changing the colour [Brit spelling, I am a Brit] of my characters hair. Brown, Blonde, Black.  Then I found something that gave me so called Flame coloured [ ginger/red ] hair.  Thing is, once the flame colour has been used, it cannot be totally obliterated.  Any attempt at any of the other colours, after putting flame hair on the character, just adds parts of that colour over a flame hair base.  Any ideas? [I have accessed the haps and made sure all contain the delete previous hair command].  Bit late I suppose but, May the 4th be with you.

Hy Cload. Question?  As it says at the top of page one of this thread "What is Learning Level?"  I certainly don't know and just tap in here to see if anyone knows answers to my problems.  I think you are right though.  This thread has got to long.  Any suggestions what the new thread is called to catch the attention of those interested in problems?  How about Scripting Problems?
