Scripts and Attachments

Is it possible to have a main script inside a single prim object (that is attached to the body) be able to change colors of the other objects attached to other parts of the body? I ask because it would be a hassle to go into each prim and make updates. Plus it will cut down on having scripts setup through my whole AV. I have objects attached to many parts except for a couple places.

Um the answer is not how you've described it I suspect.

Things attached to you aren't also attached to any other things you're wearing. You could do it through listens and whispers and put a new script in every other attachment though.

That's what I was afraid of. Eeps. Ok, thanks.

nope, but it is posable to have a master script, the dictates changes to all other attachments. But those beta objects still have to have scripts in them.

Well.. there are actually less laggy ways to do this than listeners but that is the simplest way. You could also use:

I imagine this would be the least laggy way to do it as long as you are not changing colors every few seconds but it is an area not a lot of people seem to get into.

Just set the pin of all the attached prims one time to the same pin then use a single call of the above function to send a script that changes the prims color then deletes itself (the script obviously, not the prim). Have a script for each color. red, etc.

If you want to get real fancy you can have a script that instead of changing to a defined color loads into all the attachments then enables a listener and sets a timer for 30 seconds or so and waits for a custom color command then kills the listener after the timer times out.

If you want help with this let me know.
