rez object

[ImojenSander]

ok hoping someone can help, i just want to rez a simple object by pressing a buttin with the below script in it
Now the object is called hand and its in my objects folder with permissions copy no mod no trans, but keep getting this when button is pressed  Could not find object 'hand'. What am i doing wrong.

thanks

// Rez an object on touch, with relative position, rotation, and velocity all described in the rezzing prim's coordinate system.
string object = "hand"; // Name of object in inventory
vector relativePosOffset = <2.0, 0.0, 1.0>; // "Forward" and a little "above" this prim
vector relativeVel = <1.0, 0.0, 0.0>; // Traveling in this prim's "forward" direction at 1m/s
rotation relativeRot = <0.707107, 0.0, 0.0, 0.707107>; // Rotated 90 degrees on the x-axis compared to this prim
integer startParam = 10;
 
default
{
    touch_start(integer a)
    {
        vector myPos = llGetPos();
        rotation myRot = llGetRot();
 
        vector rezPos = myPos+relativePosOffset*myRot;
        vector rezVel = relativeVel*myRot;
        rotation rezRot = relativeRot*myRot;
 
        llRezObject(object, rezPos, rezVel, rezRot, startParam);
    }
}

It's hard to say.  Check to be sure that

 

• "hand" is in the same prim in the object that your script is in, not in another child prim

 

• "hand" isn't misspelled as "Hand" or "hand "

Do you mean that you are expecting to rez the "hand" while it is in your inventory objects folder?

If so, that's not how it works. You cannot rez items directly from your inventory with a script.

You have to put a copy of the item you want to rez into the item that is running the script along with the script itself. Drag it from your inventory and drop it into the button item's contents where the script is.

Exactly. :smileywink: That's why I said "... is in the same prim in the object that your script is in".  I assume that the OP knows that a rezzer has to contain whatever it is supposed to rez, although I agree that it's a little worrisome that he says that "hand" is in its "Object" folder.  Prims don't have Object folders.

If spelling is correct (including not having any errant blank spaces) and if the "hand" is actually where it is supposed to be, that script should work.
