create objects from script

can a object in second life create new objects ?

I would like to have a box that when I touch it, other 4 spheres are created.

thanks

No. But you can make an object rezz objects that are in the object's inventory.
You can even put a copy of an object in it's inventory and make ii rezz itself.
Take a warning!!! If you make self replication that way you may overflow a SIM in no time!
You will run the risk of getting mad neighbors and getting punished by LL

what's a "rezz object" ? sorry, can you explain how it should work ? thanks!

oh, you mean this!

Rez
When you create an object within SL, you "rez" it. Yes, it's a verb. Let's conjugate it! "I rezzed a prim." "I will rez a prim." "I am rezzing a prim."

so i create the objects in the object inventory and then I can decide when to add them in my land by script, right ?

which is the llfunction to rez objects on the land ?

rezz is SL slang and means creating an object in the SL world.
Dragging an object from your inventory to the ground is rezzing it...

Is possible to edit the script of an object inside another object inventory ?

Or should I rez it, then edit it, and put it again inside the inventory ?

I can't access to the object scripts if they are inside another object inventory.

llObjectRez(something) -> (on rez a script activates to something to create diffrent shapes)

forget what the name is

It is not possible

Thats the way to do it

Right again

Just to copleat the definition of Rez, also from the wiki:
"The term comes from the 1980s movie Tron, in which the word "de-rezz" was used as shorthand for saying that an object had "de-resolved", or faded out. So, to "rez" an object is to make it come into resolution."

I didn't know it came from Tron. That's cool.

thanks guys

both for the historical information and technical help

I still have 2 questions:

- can an object move another one ? should it work with the listen to/shout/ whisper command ?

- how can I add the label with some text above my objects ?

thanks

yes! A script in one object can push another physical object. A physical object can move another physical object by bumping in to it. A scripted object can move if the script commands it to move. Otherwise no.

I get the feeling you have not done any reading about scripting?
Try: http://www.lslwiki.net
and http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal
but start reading one of the scripts you most certainly got with a box you purchased called 'Floating text' or 'Hover Text'
