Prim Dynamic Sizing...

So the idea is creating a random value between .1 and 10 for the x vector scale of a prim and then setting the prim to that scale. A loop runs that brings the scale down to .1 or less (no less than .01 so we don't get a fail) and then regenerates a random size and restarts the loop...

...problem...llSetScale seems to only work with multiplying an entire vector set by a float...whereas I only want to change one of the vector constants.

Anyone have experience in this area? Any helpful hints?


(Yes, I know I'm asking new questions every night...sorry 'bout that...)

You can work with elements in a vector. Say like so:

vector basescale = <10.0, 1.0, 1.0>;
 vector setscale = basescale;
 float i;
 for (i = 1.0; i > 0.0; i -= 0.1)
 {
 	setscale.x = basescale.x * i;
 	llSetScale(setscale);
 }

Ahhh...that looks simple enough. Thank you for the answer!
