I've run into a problem with llSetPrimitiveParams, and hope someone can offer some advice:
I want to have a hollow box, with the hollow shape a circle, and change the hollow % through a script. (FWIW, this is for a "factory" object that will rez other objects.)
So I use llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE, PRIM_TYPE_BOX, yada yada]). I realize that I can't SET the hollow shape via a script, but I was hoping that if I set the hollow shape by hand ahead of time, I could change other params and the hollow shape would remain as-is. But it seems that when I call llSetPrimitiveParams, the hollow shape resets to the default, a square.
Anyone else seen this? Got any advice for me?
I really only need 3-4 of these hollow shapes, so I suppose my current plan is to put them all in the factory and just rez the correct one.

Yeah, "Hollow Shape" was something that they missed when setting up llSetPrimitiveParams. The solution is to have multiple objects, as you said.

the issues with llSetPrimitiveParams annoy me; as they are ultra low priority. (i think the odds of llSetPrimitiveParams issues getting fixed are better represented as the right hand limit of zero then being an actual number)
PRIM_TYPE is a can of worms that is best to stay away from. any serious use will reveal it's issues.
