One prim vendor, thin; best way to allow re-sizing?

[Domitan Redenblack]

I have a one-prim vendor object which is 2m x 2m x 0.1m ... I want to allow it to be re-sized, but kept square.

If you right-click Edit, you only really see the corner handles, so resizing equally is tricky?

What do you recommend?

Probably a touch menu with size options, or increase/decrease options. Then implement the user request via llSetPrimitiveParams()

Get a resize script and use that for resizing.  You'd want to make the vendor no-mod then to keep them from messign with it with the nromal resize methods and if they need to do something with the vendor to add content thats not going to work.  If not, there are a few freebie resizers floating around that should do.

Your resize script can be very simple.  Use vector Size = llGetScale to get the current size of the vendor and then define preset sizes for which you change Size.x and Size.z .  Let the user select among the presets with a dialog that s/he can activate with a chat command, if you need to avoid a touch option.

I am thinking a local chat channel for owner only, e.g.

/123 size 0.75

with lower and upper limits, which allows the shop owner to neatly fit it to a wall space etc.

well you say the vendor is meant to be square.... can you use the +z face to it's display?

if so, you can use slice to make the vendor thinner, while still maintining a gap on the corner resize handles.... you can also make it thinner to reduce the available downsize range, or make it the same visual width as before, but allow it to be sized even smaller than it used to be able....

 

(of course you are always welcome to use my resizer package in the library too, which lets you place any limits you like on the size, and is user removeable)

If you ONLY see the (white) corner 'handles' or cubes, then resizing equally is not difficult - it's the edit mode the white cubes use.
