List more than 1 link in texture change script

[Annabell Wandsworth]

Hi

I am working with a texture change script hud and am trying to figure out how to list more than one object in a linkset to have the texture changed. I am not a scripter, and have im'd the maker of the script, but thought maybe y'all could help.

Here is the line from the script:

 integer link = 15;  // Link number to apply the texture to (LINK_SET for all links).

I have put one of the object numbers in (15), but what I would like is 15, 16, 19, 23 for example. 

I appreciate any help anyone could offer.

There are a couple of different ways to achieve that.

One is to build a list of the links, and run a loop applying the texture to the next link on each iteration.

Or the other, also involving running a loop, is building a paramedic list for llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast, using, PRIM_LINK_TARGET for each link, then setting them all at once by applying the list to that function

Thanks, that gives me something to look up and learn.

You could call llSetLinkTexture once for each link you want to texture, but that sleeps the script by 0.2 seconds a time, which can take a long time if you have a lot of links.

I would use llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast, which is more complex to set up, but means all the links change in the same frame.  So, something like this

		llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_SET, [
			PRIM_LINK_TARGET,LinkNumber,PRIM_TEXTURE,face,textureUUID,<scale>,<offset>,rotationInRadians,
			PRIM_LINK_TARGET,anotherLinkNumber,PRIM_TEXTURE,face,textureUUID,<scale>,<offset>,rotationInRadians,
			//and so on
			PRIM_LINK_TARGET,lastLinkNumberToChange,PRIM_TEXTURE,face,textureUUID,<scale>,<offset>,rotationInRadians]
			);
		]);

See the wiki article on llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast for what scale, offset and rotationInRadians refer to and how to use the numbers in the viewer edit window to give them values)

Thanks! Silly me, a non-scripter, thought I could just list the links in that line (which clearly didn't work)!
