Mutiple Prim Flashing

[naughtyniece]

Hi, i have a object may of 5 linked prims and i want it to flash, i have a script but it just flashes the parent prim

float toff_unit = 2.0;
float ton_unit = 1.0;

switch( integer lights_on )
{
    llSetPrimitiveParams( [ PRIM_FULLBRIGHT, ALL_SIDES, lights_on  ] );
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(toff_unit);
        switch( FALSE );
    }

    timer() { state lightOn; }
}

state lightOn
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(ton_unit);
        switch( TRUE );
    }

    timer() { state default; }
}

How do i apply it to the whol object please?

You're using llSetPrimitiveParams, which can only affect the prim/link item that the script resides within.

To affect the whole object, you want to use llSetLinkPrimitiveParams to affect each linked object.

I wouldn't say this is a smart idea though, the more PrimitiveParams commands you use, the more lag you're generating on the sim by causing object updates. I'd only make objects flash if they did so temporarily, when someone was close by or on a timer, so that it stops flashing after a while (or both).

Perfect thank you, and it will be on touch, as its just a demo thing that the owner can turn on to show it off then turn off

thanks

Okay. As it's scripted right now it'll change states and flash endlessly (causing significant overhead, update time and therefore lag), hence why it caught my eye.
