Or are the vectors and float and integer preserved types in the new string somehow?

ah, yes, local coords to the prim. Hmm... both sides of my prim are the same vendor; I guess I will have to make one side a "Please turn over" ty Void

Well, if the prim is on a wall, tp'ing inside the wall is not so cool :smileysurprised: Hmmmm.... If I tp to the center of the prim of the vendor, will SL automatically put me on the "front side" of the prim and not in the wall?

Sorry, all, no. Let me clarify. I have vendor prims that parcel owners move around. When they are moved or rezzed, they report their location to my net database. I have a HUD to track various things about the vendor prims. What I want is to have a way to "pop in, in front of the vendor" for my sales agents to check on them etc. To do this, I need a point 1-2m in front of a given face of the vendor prim. This location would be determined when the vendor reports in regularly. Simply put: given a flat prim, how do I generate a location x,y,z which is 2m from the center of the given face of the prim?

Jeez I use http requests, and after someone touches I go to a new state with a new touch handler. This can be said in one line. If you don't like or understand the answer, don't get upset, just ask again nicely.

I use this LSL lanugage model for TextWrangler/BBEdit http://adammarker.org/shill Was wondering if there are newer ones etc.

On first touch, move to a new state with a new touch event.

I have a vendor 4m x 4m prim on wall somewhere... I want to teleport to "just in front of it". Is there a way to get a location which is 1m from a given face of the prim? ty

I see there are several, which one is "best" (i.e. most inclusive, colours, features, etc) ty

Is that what you mean? It's like Alice in Wonderland or something; small, then giant. That's the best I can describe this. No, this is friends who stand on the ground, but their feet are down in the ground by 6" - 18" or so. One of them was more and had her legs sticking out of the ceiling on the floor below.

Thanks, I will go to some low-lag sims and watch and see.

I use an old Cool Viewer, for old Mac PowerPC machines. Sadly. All new viewers are Intel only. It may be lag in my sim, but not many people are around; not sure, perhaps a sim reboot is in order.

My AO has been fine for 18 months; now suddenly cuts out and back in... Is LL mucking about? I have also seen a bunch of friends standing 6" to 18" down in the ground a lot, off and on....

Thanks, Darkie and Blob - just the ticket! :matte-motes-big-grin-wink:

Thanks. Could you point me at the functions to get the dimensions after I rezz it? llGetScale() only works on the current prim, not the one I rezzed, etc

If someone Control-drags a new object into a prim, what is the best way to get the dimensions of the new object? ty

Thanks very much!

Valerie, thanks. Very nice. I will pass this on to her. Anyone else with other ideas - much appreciated!

Sorry, brain damage here. I should have said: Question: The Wiki that Darkie referred to has an example that "asks permission to LINK", yet I have seen no other objects I own "ask permission" first; they just do it. Is there a reason we must ask permission first? We can assume the person owns the "hat" and the "feather" with proper object perms.

Qie, thanks The "feathers" can be any object really, so "data to form them" might be a bit hard. I really need to look at the cleanest/easiest ways to drag an object from inventory onto the "hat" rezzed on the ground, which then rezzes the "feather" from inventory and positions it, etc. So far I have this much working. Question: The Wiki that Darkie referred to has an example that "asks permission to attach", yet I have seen no other objects I own "ask permission" first; they just do it.

Rufus Darkfold wrote: ... When you invoke a menu item to change number of feathers (or whatever), it requests attach and linkset permissions, then tells you to drop it when you have rez permissions. Then when it detects it has been dropped, it rezzes new feathers, or removes old ones, and reattaches automatically. Very interesting idea; I will need to play with this a bit, thanks! All - there will be 3rd party "feathers" added to the hat as well, so pre-bundling all the feathers before delivery is not really practical, thanks.
