Explorations in the Library.... scripts.

So I thought it'd be a good idea to take a look at the default stuff Linden Labs includes when you first start Second Life as a brand new avatar. They occasionally change and update this stuff but everyone has it. It's called the library and it's a seperate folder in your inventory underneath your main inventory. You can't change anything in it but you can make a copy and make changes to that and save it in your main inventory. The part that most people in the blogosphere (Geez, what a word.) have neglected to talk about is the scripts. Maybe that's because there are only three. However they are incredibly useful little scripts, especially from the standpoint of seeing how certain things happen. In fact, remember when I couldn't find the merry-go-round that I wanted to point to as an example of how I got the Codex Scope to spin? The rotation script in the library is how you do that. Over the next few posts I hope I get a chance to look at these scripts in a bit more detail and show how they apply to what you can build. However, it's a great idea to really look at everything in the library because it's a great starting point, it's a bit basic sure, but you get to see how things have been built and there's no reason not to learn from people who've already invented the wheel.
