random prim colour!

hi

I have been trying for about 3 hours now to get a prim to randomly changes colours every 1 second, just once i managed it but it changed all the linked prims to the same colour.
The thing i am making has several prims in and i want them to all change colour themselfs randomly, can anyone either tell me a script that would work for this please or at least give me some tips?

Thanks

Take a look at llSetLinkColor, although you'll have to loop through each link to use it, which may cause a noticeable delay between prims changing.

If you want an instant change, you can use a llMessageLinkedmessage to talk to all prims at the same time, then rely on a script in each prim to change the color through llSetColor or llSetPrimitiveParams.

Thanks Jacques Groshomme
But i don't want the prims to be talking to each other at all, i just want them individually random changing colours with a script in each of the prims i want changing colours and i still ain't no closer grrrrrrrrr

Tearing my hair out here lol

The delay may not even be noticeable. The first option I mentioned is worth a shot, and only requires a script in the parent prim.

  default {
     state_entry()
     {
  	  llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
     }
  
     on_rez(integer start_param)
     {
  	  llResetScript();
     }
  
     timer()
     {
  	  integer i;
  	  float red;
  	  float green;
  	  float blue;
     
  	  for(i=1; i<=llGetLinkNumber(); i++) {
  		 red = llFrand(1.0);
  		 green = llFrand(1.0);
  		 blue = llFrand(1.0);
  		 llSetLinkColor(i, <red, green, blue>, ALL_SIDES);
  	  }
     }
  }

Put that in each prim, and away you go.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol

Thanks Jacques Groshomme that works fantastic, its very similar to what i had written but i can see where i had gone wrong now hehe

Thanks loads for that, I learn best by looking at others scripts.
