I have a feeling that this is a really dumb question, but can someone please help?
I have a complex tree house which is small enough to be linked as a single set, the prblem is that is contains a lot of phantom foliage, and everytime I try and link it the whole thing goes either phantom or solid (depending on the root prim I think).
The only way I can think of is to link as two sets phantom / non phantom and pack into a rezzer, but is there a trick I'm missing???

You can turn the phantom bits solid, then make them flexi, then link it all. Pieces will need some adjustment in orientation, shape, etc.

Linking a phantom prim to anything makes everything phantom. That's one of the "features" of SL prims.

actually, if you check SLwiki's script library, there's a script there called phantom child i believe. It makes any child prim in a linked set phantom without bothering the other's solidarity. But if it is used on the parent prim, the whole set will go phantom so do be careful k?

there is a way via scripting to do it also (actual phantom) but if memory serves it's not all that reliable....you'd have to search because I don't know it offhand, never had much personal use for it

Search the scripting library for "Phantom Child", and you'll find that trick. _____________________

O.M.F.G. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Too bad this trick doesn't work on sculpties though.... Have you tried out the flexi-sculpty unofficial resident-made client? It's funnish and will lead to great things eventually, I'm sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8SPB8aIWrQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VGHkuvx1Zs _____________________
