I don't know if this is possible, but I thought I'd ask... I have a multi-floor home, and I'm looking for a way to occasionally close off the top floor when I want some privacy. What I'd like to be able to do, ideally, is to create a door over the stairwell, a door over the balcony entrance, and a set of opaque curtains over the windows, link them, and then drop them into or link them with a scripted object, so that when I wanted the doors, I could give a command (or touch the object) and the linked doors, etc. would rez in their proper places. This way I wouldn't have to hassle with adding multiple doors with locking scripts. And of course it would be best if it would only respond to my command... can this be done? Thanks a lot!

How about just making the doors transparent and phantom when not needed? Might be a lot easier!

If having them linked is important, it may be easier still to have them scale and slide out of the way when not using them. llSetScale and llSetPos

To answer the original question, it *is* possible to have an object rez, then link to another oject. However, it's swatting flies with Cadillacs for your purposes.

Thanks for the tips. :) I know absolutely nothing about scripting, so I couldn't have begun to know how to do this myself... luckily I have a very talented scripter neighbor who was able to make this for me. The set of privacy doors and window covers operates with a pushbutton. Happy happy! :)
