I made a dancing cage for my club. It's contructed of two cones for the top and bottom, and a hollowed cylinder for the center where the dancer will stand.
In order for the dancer not to accidently fall out, there is no opening. (Muhahaha prison cones for dancers j/k).... The cone on the bottom is the one to get into the cage, and the one on top is the one to get out.
So here is a three prim cage, with a script each in the cones, and the cylinder is the root prim.
The TP is a very very simple script, that changes the "setSitText()" (whatever the proper syntax for that would be... sorry did not look it up in the Wiki) but the real question is, not about the syntax. But does anyone know why once you link these prims together, the SetSitText() no longer says "Cage in", "Cage out" as appropriate? It revers back to "Sit".
To me, that is strange, BUT it still works to get in and out.
For now, the description tells how to get in and out.
(But if you should wander by the club and see someone stuck in there... *looks innocent* tell them to TP out from the top.)
Can someone tell me what causes this? Do you have a better idea?
Thanks in advance for the help.

The order in which you link them will matter. The root prim taking precedence.

A one way door sound like an intresting idea.
Most of the time people just offset the pose. That way when people stand up they end up out side the cage, insted of with in the cage.

No one else has a reply to this?
I thought I would see some more ideas here. Oh well, I guess this is a stumper. No biggie, as I said, it works, it's just strange the way it does.
Thanks for looking!

Sio's right on this one. A linked group of prims can only have one SitText set on it, as far as I'm aware. So even if the upper and lower cones have their own SitText scripts, once they're linked together, whichever prim is the root takes precedence... its SitText will be displayed in the right-click menu.
Your only real recourse would be to have them unlinked, I'm afraid...

The other way is to have a tiny script in the root prim that simply contains llSetSitText("appropriate text"  ; in the default state and state_entry event. |
