Pamela Galli Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I used to have a terrible time with prim drift -- with walls changing position or rotation a tiny bit (but enough to create seams) - - but then the issue seemed to disappear. Until recently. The house I am working on now, every day I have to fix rotations in many prims, unless I lock down the house overnight.Does anyone have any idea whether my perception is correct -- that this problem has recently appeared after a long absence? And if so, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Convair Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Happens on every sim restart. Usually a fraction of a mm (millimetre). I once had a problem that forced me to make an "unsharp" compare of positions/rotations that I use in scripts now. I made tests and restarted the sim a few times to verify. The reason? I can only guess that there is a different resolution or a conversion of the float variables used for saving the sim and when the sim operates.

Pamela Galli Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Thank you Nova. That may be the explanation, but I don't think my Magnum sims have been restarted this week. And I don't recall seeing so much prim drift in years -- every day I fix the same floor prim, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Convair Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The drift by restart is small and goes back and forth. So in the long term things hold their positions - kind of. I never encountered bigger moves. You sure no script rattles at your prims? You can drop in a script that adds an entry everytime the position changes and how much. Checking every few mins is sufficient. Maybe the time of the movements will give you a hint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that would be interesting! At least it would prove I am not imagining it haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
