changing the texture on linked prims

I'm trying to use the following script to change the texture on an object at touch:


default
{

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
integer number = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
float rand = llFrand(number);
integer choice = (integer)rand;
string name = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, choice);
if (name != ""
llSetTexture(name, ALL_SIDES);
}
}


I have three prims linked but the script only changes the texture on on eof the prims.
I know very little about scripting and so I'm wondering if there is a way to change the texture on all three (even better stretch the texture across the surface of all three linked prims.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep. You'll have to make it so all three prims have a texture-changing script. The easiest means to do this is with a link message.

Insert Strife comment: "I want llSetLinkTexture!" here.

Anyway, some example code would look like this for the master prim:

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
    llMessageLinked(LINK_SET,0,"TextureNameHere","TextureKeyHere");
}

... then place this in every other prim in the set

link_message(integer sender, integer num, string str, key id)
{
    if(str != "") llSetTexture(str, ALL_SIDES);
    else if(id != "") (string)llSetTexture(id, ALL_SIDES);
}

See here for more information.

think you mean

link_message(integer sender, integer num, string str, key id)
{
    if(str != "") llSetTexture(str, ALL_SIDES);
    else if(id != "") llSetTexture((string)id, ALL_SIDES);
}

but it's all good

Ack! I forgot it, didn't I? Thanks.

You don't have to typecast a key to a string in that function, at least, I never do. I always use keys for my textures, never names.
