making the force on a flexiprim local???

i notice the way a flexiprim moves will change if you roate it, is there a way to make the force local or at least act like its local?

If you multiply a vector (i.e. your force) by a rotation (the rotation of the prim, llGetRot() ) your vector will be oriented in the same manner as your prim, i.e. <1,0,0> * llGetRot() acts along the local x-axis.

In order to use this with flexi-prims you'll need to apply it whenever you rotate your object, so if it's an attachment use a timer, if it's a static object you can set it once (in state_entry for example) and whenever the object is moved/rotated (changed event or a timer checking the position and rotation against it's last check).

llSetPrimitiveParams([FLEXIBLE_PATHS, TRUE, blah blah blah, force * llGetRot()]);
(check the semantics on the wiki)


Have fun

Check you flexiprim wind status too, sometimes theyre just blowing about in the dsirection of the wind
