PRIM_TEXTURE face number! is this possible?

[Cindy Kraai]

I'm not sure if this is possible or allowed in lsl but can we do something like this?

llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[
PRIM_TEXTURE, 0, texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 0.5, 0.0>, 0.0,
PRIM_TEXTURE, side number 1 to 3, texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 1.656, 0.0>, 0.0,  
PRIM_TEXTURE, side number 4 to 6, texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, 0.0
]);

instead of uploading multiple textures i decided to just rotate them accordingly in their faces but is it possible to do something like "side number 1 to 3 is <0.0, 0.5, 0.0>" and "side number 4 to 6 is <0.0, 1.5, 0.0>". Please help, and thanks for giving some samples

You're already on the right track with the example you have, you'll just have to list the elements for individual faces

There's a constant, ALL_SIDES, that can set the texture parameters for all the sides at the same time, and then you can follow up with more PRIM_TEXTURE parameters in the same call to llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast().

All the parameter settings in a single call (usually?) take place in the same simulation frame (although possibly generating separate update messages), so it's as if they were all done simultaneously.

Instead of typing the same information many times, you could define a temporary set of variables:

Stuff_1 = [texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 0.5, 0.0>, 0.0];

Stuff_2 = [texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 1.656, 0.0>, 0.0];

Stuff_3 = [texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, 0.0];

and then write

llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[
PRIM_TEXTURE, 0]+Stuff_1 + [PRIM_TEXTURE, 1] + Stuff_2 + [PRIM_TEXTURE, 2] + Stuff_2 + [PRIM_TEXTURE,3] + Stuff_2 +  
[PRIM_TEXTURE, 4] + Stuff_2 + 
and so on ...

Or use loops.

Thanks guys these really helps, thanks Rolig Loon for the example. My follow up question is, 

llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS,[
PRIM_TEXTURE, 0, texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 0.5, 0.0>, 0.0,
PRIM_TEXTURE, 1||2||3, texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 1.656, 0.0>, 0.0,  
PRIM_TEXTURE, 4||5||6, texture, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 1.0, 0.0>, 0.0
]);

you can't do it this way right? i was hoping it is possible. It saves correctly but doesn't work at all

No, you can't do that.  It may compile correctly because everything after the LINK_THIS argument is considered as a list, but it will never execute properly because the list element that contains the face number is meant to be an integer, not a conditional statement.

It saves correctly because "1||2||3" and "4||5||6" both become 1, which is a totally valid face number even if it's not the one you intended.

The function itself expects a list of single values. There's no way to denote a range of numbers in LSL.

i see, thanks for all your replies i really appreciate it
