scale one prim in an object

hi, I have an object that is moving (not a vehicle) ... I want one prim of the object to scale while moving along with the whole object.

My guess is that I need to use llGetLinkNumber() and ||GetScale and ||SetScale, but I'm not sure how to work it into my code ... please help

How do I hone in on just one prim (tap into the link order/link number??)?

Here is my code block (I also don't know how to post a block of code in the forums so that it appears in a scrolling space) :

default
{
state_entry()
{
// get the start position - vector and rotation - in order to reset the object at the end
gStartPos = llGetPos();
gStartRot = llGetRot();
// set goal rotation
rot = llEuler2Rot(<0, PI/20.0, 0>;
// rotRope = llEuler2Rot(<0, PI/37.0, 0>;
gAdmin = llGetOwner();
llListen(gDirectChannel, "", NULL_KEY, "";
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string msg)
{
if ( msg == gGoMsg )
{
integer i;

//this is the X movement 5m

for( i = 0; i < 50; i++)
{
llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() - <0.1, 0, 0>;

// during this span, i need one prim to scale, so it looks like it is filling up a space.
// if (llGetLinkNumber() == 2);
{
// ||GetScale ||SetScale ???
}
}
...


thanks!!

is it physical? I don't believe llSetScale works in physical objects.

I don't know if this is part of the issue or not, but is there a reason you are writing "||SetScale" rather than "llSetScale"? (The pipe character instead of lower case L)

also... most of the code you have show here, handling the movement, will go in the root prim of your object. The llSetScale will need to be in script inside just the prim that is going to be resizing.

duh, no, just tired i guess and so new to scripting, sometimes i slip in the number "1" instead of lower case L ... it never seems to work *blushing*
