Rez Box ?

Pretty basic question here, so basic I’m almost embarrassed to ask it, but here goes. I noticed another thread discussing the lack of a Rez Box in a building, and some comments suggested it was a fundamental build accessory. So er, what’s a Rez Box ?

How do I create one or get one or include one in my builds ?

thanks, Astrid

A rex box is a box thingy that your build uses to move your build around... esp good when it has unlinked parts like a door


as ffor the rest i dunno, but i want to konw... i have just started building and damn they would be good for the pool i just built....

They are scripted to keep buildings together if they are further apart than 30 m and can't be linked, or if they need to have unlinked doors and windows, you rez the box and poof there's your home, house, castle, spacepod, ready to put into position.

There is a free scripted version available in the scripting library, I was given mine so I don't know the exact place to find it.

Dekka's right a scripted box that sits in the middle of a build that listens for a positioning script when the positioning script is placed in a prim/object or linkset. It records the position so you can take the object back into inventory, add it to the rez box's contents folder then take the rez box back into your inventory so you can later re-rezz your build as one complete unit and move and rotate it.

Poof Poof Poof!

if this threads still here tomorrow then I guess the answer is yes

O.o

/me reads the thread a ew times, sure you are speaking english but actually having no idea how to get the script i looked up in the library to actually make everything move at once....

*smiles and nods and pretends i understand and just goes back to putting prims in nice pretty patterns to make stuff*

I think what you are asking about is called a "faux rez" box. It enables large buildings to be rezd in one go - otherwise they would have to be assembled from a number of sections because you cannot link prims that are more than 30 metres apart.

Try searching for "faux rez".

they arent 30m apart... i cant link the water because then it doesnt stay phantom anymore... which kind of makes it a usless pool *giggles*

Can you not link it and then make the whole object phantom?

My prim hair is phantom and linked.

but its not more than 30 metres apart I hope! its phantom so it does not bump people as you past or you don't break your neck as your hair catches a door frame when going through doors.

The Op needs to search Rezz Faux, Jack in the Box, Rez Foo and in the Scripting library in the forum Builders Buddy. There are some other products but cannot remember their names.

Pardon? Eclectic said:

What the hell is wrong with the word poof in that context?

I have no idea what is wrong with the word in any context. Small world I live in, it seems.

I discovered about 30 items on my land a couple of months ago that didn't belong to me. So I went "poof" and sent them back to the owner (along with my house and furniture).

So it is connected with magic and or witch craft and that is why it has some negative connotation? I am so confused.

Oh. I just looked up a dictionary definition of the word on my internal computer system. There is just one definition given in that dictionary:

poof (also pouf, poofter) > noun Brit. informal, derogatory. An effeminate or homosexual man.
-derivatives poofy>adjective
-ORIGIN perhaps an alteration of puff in the obsolete sense of 'braggart'.

Do a search on the Scripting Forum for "Builder's Buddy". You'll have to create your own box prim to use as the Rez Box, but that is the script set you are looking for.

One in the box.

The other goes in every object in the build.

Hope this helps - J -

There are basically 3 systems:

Builders Buddy - a free script that creates a rez package.

Rez Faux - a moderate priced version by Lex Neva that uses menus and is fully supported

Rez Foo - a higher priced system made by CrystalShard Foo that is also fully supported

No, just that I did something REALLY stupid and paid for the results by having to refurnish my house.

*laughs* no the pool bits arent 30m apart... and yes i could link them up and make the whole thing phantom... but that would defeat the purpose of the pool when you can walk right through the sides..... I want the build to be solid and the water phantom... the only way to do this is to have the water unlinked as far as i know

You can also have the pool body rez the water through llRezAtRoot

Rez the pool, position it, and touch menu to rez the water.
