I bought both SL books yesterday... With HIGH hopes that the ferris wheel stuff would be in there... Much to my disappointment, not one single mention of the ferris wheel...

Is there some way I can get these scripts from you? I'm very much in need of these, and there's hardly any resources around the net, or in-world on how to achieve exactly what you've done.

Any help would be much appreciated!

You can email me directly as I may not be able to check this thread as often as I'd like...

I really do need to do a ferris wheel article. It all uses trig. I just rotate the wheel about 360 degrees, then use the cars and sin/cos to plot out the unit circle. I sent you the scripts for my ferris wheel in Second Life. Hope that helps, I will probably do a full article at some point.

Hey!

Yes I got the scripts, but I wasn't able to look at them as they had no copy/no mod/no trans... Would love to investigate these scripts and see how you did it... Next time you're on SL, if you don't mind sending them with mod perms so I can view them, pass 'em on! If I use any part of them, I'll credit you, and pass some commission to ya! =)

okay, here you go

I posted the three scripts. Forgot that SL would not let you look at them.
