Gift building in SL Day 2
The Gift Building workshop was offered twice yesterday was the first run and today was a repeat for people who couldn’t make the first time.
Having yesterday had a few people ask how to rez an object I prepared an answer, but in fact only 1 participant asked that question. Instead we were asked some more complicated scripting questions, and then had some quite tricky debugging to do. The most difficult thing was some one had used a smart quote instead of a straight quote (I guess they had copied something via Word).
I also got caught out by using what I think is common short hand, my phone rang and I typed “brb” and one of the participants said “what is brb?” Be Right Back. Then when I was trying to help a couple of people I typed “a min pls” and got back “what is a min pls”, well I meant I was going to be busy for a minute or so, and pls is short for please. Maybe we need a glossary.
At one point during the session I saw the others laughing, apparently someone had changed the size of their box and it had gone right through my avatar, I’m waiting for a link to the photo of that!
