Just logged on and all was well.I bought a puppy from SLX and before I rezzed it I decided to check my boundary walls to set them to physical,so the puppy doesn't run away.LOL
The first prim I checked was set to phantom so I changed it.When I closed the tab it shot behind another prim ,ie: it moved position,no problem SL does that sometimes,right?
I dragged it back and the rotations had changed.I reset them and closed, this time the prim did a wobbly dance and made a clicking sound and lost rotation settings bigtime.
I have tried 3 times to sort it but it refuses to do as i ask.Its gone barking mad,if my new puppy behaves this way I will kick him out.
I have seen prim movement but never like this and whats with the noise? Has anyone any ideas? (not a mega prim)

If you make prims 'physical' as opposed to 'non-phantom', then they are going to be subject to gravity. They are going to fall, and they will makes noises appropriate to the material setting as they bump into other prims.
Or am I misreading your post?

For things like walls, you have it right that you want to turn off phantom, but you don't want to turn on physical. Save physical for items that you _want_ to move around when pushed etc.

Thanks job done.I have a lot of stuff set to phantom because I heard that it cut lag.I must admit I really don't think I have ever tried to turn a thing physical before.I won't be doing so again in the near future,This puppy has got off to a bad start!!

From: Blot Brickworks Right this must be it ,I don't know why I put it to physical,I should know this ,What a chump I am.Cheers! I will try again. hehe I remember when I did this the first time in my case it was a ball, I was in the NCI sandbox and that dang thing went bouncing and rolling down into the water, I went running after it, I felt like such a fool LOL but.. it was fun none the less now I just make cube physical and throw them around when I am frustrated hehe or make my own makeshift bowling ally, and try to knock the pins down

Make sure to put something small in front of the doorway so the puppy can't get over it, but so people can still walk over it. Puppies are very forgiving. Except for mine. She ran away again, never to be returned.  I don't know whether to rez puppy #3 or just give up on trying to have puppies of my own and chase the chickens in the yard instead.

From: Rhaorth Antonelli now I just make cube physical and throw them around when I am frustrated hehe If you own a "booster" type gadget, cubes are the most fun to kick across a sim. It's really funny when they get returned to you from 3 sims over hehehe |
