Hi,
I am looking for a script that will make my curtains and fabric move gently, like a breeze...I am willing to buy if necessary, can you help?
Thanks!

Hey, have you tried Flexi-prims? You might not need a script. Make a new prim, edit it and click the <features> tab on the edit panel. Then, click the <flex...> option. Now, while still in edit, move the prim around and see what happens. Turn the new prim upside down, texture it and size it as a curtain. Presto, scriptless curtain that blows in the breeze.

OK, I made the curtains, they move, are flexi..perfect..BUT how do I anchor them and when I try linking them to anything the ability to use the flexible path goes dark..so there they are blowing, but not anchored to a rod or bed or anything..OHHHHH thanks again!

When you make a prim Flexible, the solid base becomes the local -Z end. So for curtains, if you turn them upside-down from their initial position when created, they'll hang rather realistically.

When you link prims, some options become unavailable unless only a single prim of the link set is selected, as noted by the blue "Select only one primitive to edit..." text at the top of the Object and Features tab windows. Check the "Edit linked parts" box in the edit window, then click on the flexi prim, and you should be able to tweak the settings again.
