Looking for multi-face mesh prim w/ script that can allow me to set multiple URLs, one per face. 

Ideally, I need a script that can reside in a mesh prim of many faces (don't know what the face limit is of mesh, more is better). This would allow me to drop images into each face, and when someone clicks on that image area a URL opener dialong would pop up on the user's screen. Kind of like a directory board.

Does this script or item with the script already exist free or on SL Marketplace?

Thanks for taking the time to reply, and forgive me for my noob discription terms.

This forum is for help writing your own scripts, not for asking for free scripts.  You post your script in this section to ask for help with problem areas.

 

You probably won't find it for free.  You may not even find it already made. 

You are asking for two things.  The mesh prim and the script.  If you can't script it yourself then you need to hire a scripter.  If the scripter doesn't do mesh, and you can't find the prim you want on MP, you may have to get a mesher too.

You want to ask for things like this in the Wanted forum, but we may be able to help you focus your request a bit.

Mesh is limited to 8 faces per individual mesh, but you can link lots of them together (with corresponding escalation in Land Impact).

A script can certanly know which face has been touched, hence the end user can choose a specific image and the script can open a corresponding URL, and of course you can manually paint any faces with any textures you want, so those parts are easy. The slightly tricky part is giving you a convenient way to specify which face goes to which URL(and possibly also associate the face texture with the face and URL, if these are going to change programmatically -- I'm not sure if that was intended).

You'll also need to specify what permissions you need, and who supplies the mesh itself.  I mean, if you aren't planning on selling this, but rather just having one of your own for others to use, you can just buy your favourite mod-perm 8-faced flat mesh object on Marketplace and add a relatively simple script to do what you ask. (I doubt if it exists exactly as you specify, but it's not a very difficult script.)

Very helpful. Thanks, you focused me in on what the heck I was really asking for.
