Set texture of multiple child prims?

[CadenzaInVivace]

I've searched everywhere for this and I'm really shocked to find no results... How do I set the texture of MULTIPLE child prims at once? For example, set the texture of link #1,3,5,7,9 inside an object to "UUID". To my knowledge "llSetLinkTexture" only works for 1 prim. Only results I found on LSL wiki and google were changing textures for one prim, or changing texture of multiple faces on one prim...

make a list of the numbers to change-

get the list length-

for each member of the list, do a texture change-

-----------------------------------------------------------

list myPrims = [1,3,5,7,9];

integer n;

integer length = llGetListLength(myPrims);

for(;n < length;++n)

{ llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast( llList2Integer(myPrims,n)  [PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES,
 "4d304955-2b01-c6c6-f545-c1ae1e618288", <1.0,1.0,0.0>, <0.0,0.0,0.0>, 0.0]);

}

?

Yep, there's no way to set the textures on multiple prims unless you do everything in the linkset, or all the children in the linkset or all other prims in the linkset, using LINK_SET, LINK_ALL_CHILDREN, or LINK_ALL_OTHERS.

If you are concerned about the time it takes to change textures one prim at a time, use llSetLinkTextureFast() or llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast().

It's terribly wordy, but this is how you can do that all in one operation.

 

        llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(1, [PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "some texture", <1,1,0>, <0,0,0>, 0,            PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 3, PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "some texture", <1,1,0>, <0,0,0>, 0,            PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 5, PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "some texture", <1,1,0>, <0,0,0>, 0,            PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 7, PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "some texture", <1,1,0>, <0,0,0>, 0,             PRIM_LINK_TARGET, 9, PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "some texture", <1,1,0>, <0,0,0>, 0]
        );

Oooh, I wonder if I ever knew you could just keep building a list for mulitple prims in that call. I know now!

Thanks, Cerise!

It's relatively new. PRIM_LINK_TARGET was added just over 2 years ago, mostly to encourage people to get away from things like a resize script in every prim.

Yes if I recall, the issue was that moving to llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast  and iterative in a loop seemed a good idea when it first came out but not everything would necessarily complete in one frame and so depending on the complexity of the linkset, that serial resizing didn't work that well after all.

Using PRIM_LINK_TARGET inside one llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast function ensures that it all executes in one frame.
