Retractable blanket?

I've seen scripts on shower curtains that retract them, and then expand then when clicked. Would a similar script work on a homemade single prim blanket? Just looking for a way to to fold the blanket up when not in use, and then pull it back up when it's time for bed.

I wouldn't see why not.

Just have it use llSetPrimitiveParams to change size, relative position, and if you have two different textures for flat vrs folded, change textures. Can even do all three in one llSetPrimitiveParams call.

Excellent. And that you for the responce. If one end of my prim has a taper, do I need to include that into the script as well? Or will the prim itself remember those parameters?

My understanding is that the prim wont 'remember' anything of its original shape / form.
So you will neeed tro get the current values prior to setting g the new ones and store them for future use, or better still (?) use two states, folded and unfolded and set the required parameters when you enter the state.

You might want to check Maximum-Minimum store for example of bed which works like this... the trick is basically, the sheets prim shifts some 0.5 m towards the floor sinking into bed and effectively out of sight when not used, and then shifts back up into original place when it's needed. Very simple but effective.

I have also seen the script for this around, and its supposed to be open source. Could some one please post this script?
