Same prim, different faces, SLPPF

[Tattooshop]

Hello!
How to apply a texture to the same prim in a linkset, but to different faces with one line using SLPPF? Do I still need to use PRIM_LINK_TARGET and specify the same prim multiple times?

llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(link_number,
[	PRIM_TEXTURE, face1, texture, <1,1,0>, <0,0,0>, 0.0,
  	PRIM_TEXTURE, face2, texture, <1,1,0>, <0,0,0>, 0.0,
	PRIM_TEXTURE, face3, texture, <1,1,0>, <0,0,0>, 0.0
	//no final ',' << I always forget this so I write this comment at the end of almost every list.
]);

for example? SLPPF is not exactly a one-liner.

The special face number ALL_SIDES does what you would expect, but if you want to set the texture of (for example) faces 1 and 3 but not 2 you need to use the tedious version above.

Thank you so much! This is what I needed!

llSLPPF is a rather obtuse multifunction. I think I learned just today or yesterday about the PRIM_LINK_TARGET variable. 😉

I've also found myself stretching my areas of knowledge, I'd never done raycasting before this week. It's interesting that it isn't just the OP who gains through the forum advice process, those responders who actually get into some research also benefit.

For those who know Anathem, there is an analogous situation described in the early part of the tale, when Erasmus realises that in mentoring Barb he himself is filling in large gaps in his own knowledge where he had skipped topics because they were not in his immediate requirements list or he was in a rush to get something done.
