How to spin a child prim from a script in the root

[Domitan Redenblack]

Is there a way to spin a child prim from a script in the root? (e.g. with llTargetOmega )

For example, a "lazy susan" turntable that displays/rotates an object in the root prim's contents?

You can only call Target Omega from the root on Blue Steel sims at the moment, but it should be available on the whole grid before too long .  https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/PRIM_OMEGA

Otherwise it's llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast and PRIM_ROT_LOCAL

See JIRA SCR-67 for details

Thank you both for your replies.

You say "soon" - are we talking about days, weeks or months, do you think?

What percentage of sims are running Blue Steel or better now?

How do I tell if my home sim is running Blue Steel? I have an old Cool Viewer on my old PowerMac dual G5 (very fast machine still !)

You can get information about what server is running at your location by opening Help >> About in your viewer.  It will tell you the server version right there.

When functions are tested on the Release Candidate channels of the main grid that normally means they're pretty close to being rolled out generally.   Quite how close depends on how a lot of things turn out, but it should be weeks rather than months under normal circumstances.

It might be an idea to ask in the Second Life Server forum and maybe join the (open enrollment) Second Life Beta group in world.   If you're a member of the Beta group you can go and play with the new functions in a Release Candidate sandbox on the main grid, which is often more convenient than trying to find somewhere on the Release Candidate channel in which you are interested.

You are at 132084.1, 265441.4, 21.3 in <my home sim>

located at sim3570.agni.lindenlab.com (216.82.19.95:13000)

Second Life Server 11.06.29.234329

Will it say "Blue Steel" something?

This is not Blue Steel

If it was it would say ..RC Blue Steel.. in the last line

That only sets the rotation angle once, and does not spin, right?

[Darkie Minotaur]

Yes - each call of the function  sets the rotation once

[Innula Zenovka]

Yes, as Darkie says, it moves things through the desired rotation once.   So I guess it would be good for an actual "lazy Susan," but if you want to make stuff rotate continuously, llTargetOmega is a lot less resource-intensive than calling llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast several times a second (to achieve smooth movement) on a non-stop timer.
