#SECOND LIFE TROLLS CODE#

That place used to be my favourite but it died out. But it was really just southern white males dressed up as African characters trying to speak in an urban vernacular but failing miserably. There used to be this dance club called Bootylicious, where it was the more urban crowd of SL. After I got popular, people started figuring out who I was and they started kicking me out of all the places I loved. I can’t go back to most of the places I used to love visiting. Out of all the bizarre worlds in SL, what’s your favorite place to visit? He’s very ambiguous in the way he looks and the way he sounds. They say it’s French, Indian… I think that’s one of the fun things about him. People can never pinpoint where it’s from. I think it’s a combination of people I grew up around. Talking to you now, I realize that Esteban’s voice isn’t your real voice. He compliments the oversexualized world of SL very well in the way that he stands against it all. I play him like a very naive guy, friendly yet strangely aggressive if you step to him the wrong way. I think it’s funny to have a character who’s very tiny and very innocent. How did you come up with that avatar?Ĭharlie: I just played with the shapes a lot because SL allows you to look extremely macho and masculine.

He’s so different from all the other super buff, hypersexualized male avatars in SL. VICE: First off, I’m a big fan of the way Esteban looks. I recently called up Charlie and giggled my way through our conversation about what makes Esteban so hilarious, his newfound virtual fame, and the ethics of trolling people who decide to live their life online dressed up as ponies. Charlie’s videos depicting the adventures of Esteban have now garnered hundreds of thousands of views, landed him on Reddit’s highly coveted front page, and generated tons of fan art, including a fan song. Players tend to react poorly to Esteban’s social clumsiness and lack of seriousness with reactions so strong you could almost forget that SL is a simple game.

What makes Esteban so special (aside from his dashing appearance) is the seemingly naive way he interacts with other users. I don’t remember if I was initially attracted to his freakish ears, his blank stare or the perfect comical pacing of his speech, but I knew he was the troll for me. As soon as I laid my eyes on his most popular character, Esteban Winsmore, I fell in love. llSay(0, 'turning on!') This makes the object speak 'turning on!' on channel zero.A friend of mine introduced me to Charlie’s videos a few weeks ago. SPEAK TO ME! The first line in the event state_entry is. First we see the 'state_entry' event, which gets triggered each time the default state is entered. Also, while the object has a texture, the color will effect the 'tint' more than the true color. default Note that after 'default' all new states begin with the word 'state'.

Here is a look at a minimal program in written in LSL that can loosely be translated as.'When I am in the default state, and I am touched, say 'Hello World' on channel zero'. So the minimum LSL program must have one state with one event in it.

One called Touch_start(), will trigger the code in it when the object running the script is touched. Events are not user defined in Second Life but rather predefined in LSL. An event can be thought of as a 'Trigger'. Minimally a script will have one state, the default state. Many real life objects have 'states' and the same can be true for LSL programs. A person can be 'hyper', 'calm', or 'bored'. A door can be 'open' or 'closed' and a light can be 'on' or 'off'.

One thing that makes LSL unique is it's heavy emphasis on 'States' and 'Events'. They are written with a built-in editor/compiler which we will access in step 2. Scripts in Second Life are a set of instructions that can be placed inside any object in the world, or any object worn by an avatar, but not inside an avatar. This is the language all scripts in Second LIfe are written in.
