Problem with textures on scripted prims

This may not be the right forum, but all y'all are (IMHO) the sharpest tacks in the box, so I'll start here.

I have three pyramids sharing the exact same x,y,z coordinates. Each contains a rotation script, but each is set at a slightly different speed than the others. I have the same texture in each and set at 50% trans. When they are three separate prims, the textures are fine. But if I link the three to a static base prim, the textures begin to flicker. I unlink and the effect goes away.

Any thoughts on how to eliminate the flicker, while still linking them? Or is this just SL?

Thanks for your time.

You're right...completely wrong place to post the question--better under building tips.

The shapes need to be different sizes really...if your textures are all in the exact same 'place' they will compete with each-other to be 'shown' and cause flicker.

An interesting question, Rocky.
Its a problem with a scripted build whose textures flicker.
Are they alpha textures with see through parts?

Actually, they work fine when not linked. No flicker as they pass through each other. The only change that causes the flicker is linking them to the static base. Sorry I'm in the completely wrong place.

Thanks, Sterling, for the help.

Rocky,
Its just hard to understand why 'linked' prims that have "scripted turn" have texture flicker, while, 'unlinked' prims with scripted turn don't.

Do the textures flicker if the prims are UNSCRIPTED, but still linked?
That may be hard to spot, since you'd have to manually turn the individual prims.

<I saw some of your cool kaleidoscope art works! Is that where this problem shows up? Post the SLURL location of a LINKED set that has the flicker problem, so I can see them in world.>
