How? It seems this is a workable base heirachial linking... I have not seen how to access this in 1.7 though. Anyone able to point me to the answer?

I see it in the Release notes... Needless to say it's highly interesting to anyone making animated objects / creatures ! I see nothing in the Wiki about it...

Indeed. The wiki and forums both seem oddly quiet about this. Did I miss something?

I think the guys at LL are just rather busy fixing the issues, but basically llSetPos, llSetRot, llTargetOmega, llSetPrimParams are supported in attachments

From: Nathan Stewart I think the guys at LL are just rather busy fixing the issues, but basically llSetPos, llSetRot, llTargetOmega, llSetPrimParams are supported in attachments It doesn't look like this is referring to moving attachments using scripts, as that's described later under Script Changes. Perhaps it's referring to the ability to move/rotate multiple selected prims of a link set using the build tools?

I suspect it's referring to the build tools too. I wish there were scripted access to this  |

I guess that would make more sense given it is a 'minor feature' but still would like to make sure. Any official word, Lindens?

Implementing hierarchy in linked sets would be a very, very major change that would require tons of new code on LL's part and cause builders to adopt an entirely new paradigm. I'm positive that this isn't what the Lindens are talking about here.
Not that I wouldn't like to see it, eventually.

Well it seemed to make sense as a simple form like what I thought this meant would be that each child is affected by the ones above it. It would still be the base A1, A2, A3, A4.
A1 affects A2, A3, A4.
A2 affects A3 and A4.
A3 affects A4.
A4 only affects itself.
No branching off into arrays and such. Just a snake joint. I must say I am disappointed that this is evidentally not the case. Had been going crazy waiting for my laptop to come back so I could get to work on projects that could have really used this.

You'd need branching into trees for this to be really useful. Think of a robot. All the prims of one arm would have a 'local root' at that shoulder, and would rotate if that shoulder prim was rotated. Ditto for the other shoulder, the hips, the neck, and so on.

I realize the possibilities and requirements... I will take what I can get as soon as I can get it.

I've mentioned that before, thought I'd mention it here too since it's very relevant...
I'm finalizing a set of script that allows for easy creation of animated linksets with jointed limbs. You regroup child prims into limb element (lower leg, upper leg, etc...) then attach the elements to each other and to the body then define the joint's rotation for each animation frame you want to be able to play.

That sounds very, very useful, Jesrad. Please let us know more about that when it's ready  . |
