I put the curtain script in 2 prims to have two pieces of tent, one that opens to the right and one that opens to the left
but if i link together, the tent does not work well so I thought that certainly i need a script outside inserted in third prim (the main one) that starts the two scripts simultaneously.
can anyone help me to find the solution to my problem?
thank you

it shud work even in linked state, just make sure u use local positions rather than llgetpos. it will fetch the position of the parent prim.

this is my script
vector offset = <1,0,0>; //Prim moves/changes size along this local coordinate
float hi_end_fixed = FALSE; //Which end of the prim should remain in place when size changes?
//The one with the higher (local) coordinate?
float min = 0.2; //The minimum size of the prim relative to its maximum size
integer ns = 10; //Number of distinct steps for move/size change
default {
state_entry() {
offset *= ((1.0 - min) / ns) * (offset * llGetScale());
hi_end_fixed -= 0.5;
}
touch_start(integer detected) {
integer i;
do llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_SIZE, llGetScale() - offset,
PRIM_POSITION, llGetLocalPos() + ((hi_end_fixed * offset) * llGetLocalRot())]);
while ((++i) < ns);
offset = - offset;
}
}
how have i change it to start 2 prims togheter? |

thank you Link Messages would be the way to do it. Simply replace
touch_start(integer detected)
with
link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string str, key id)
in the two curtain scripts and, in the third prim, put
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 0, "Touched.", NULL_KEY);
}
}

this looks great, it looks like it could easily be used for sliding doors too. instead of actual sliding doors, it "shrinks" the door, so if the space you're using doesn't easily hide the doors after being opened (if needed)

the above method works if you want to be able to touch the tent anywhere to open the curtains. if you want to only be able to touch the curtains to open them, and no where else, use this below script in the curtain(s) you want to open, no need for a seperate script to send the link message because sending it to the link set includes itself. it's the same as the 2 above, just combined: From: someone
vector offset = <1,0,0>; //Prim moves/changes size along this local coordinate
float hi_end_fixed = FALSE; //Which end of the prim should remain in place when size changes?
//The one with the higher (local) coordinate?
float min = 0.2; //The minimum size of the prim relative to its maximum size
integer ns = 5; //Number of distinct steps for move/size change
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 0, "Touched.", NULL_KEY);
}
state_entry() {
offset *= ((1.0 - min) / ns) * (offset * llGetScale());
hi_end_fixed -= 0.5;
}
link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string str, key id)
{
integer i;
do llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_SIZE, llGetScale() - offset,
PRIM_POSITION, llGetLocalPos() + ((hi_end_fixed * offset) * llGetLocalRot())]);
while ((++i) < ns);
offset = - offset;
}
}

meh, i had an idea to use that for flexi curtains, but, it doesn't flow well, i guess the prim turns stiff again for like half a second at each scale change, so the curtain seems to "flick" between each step. or maybe it's just my viewer?
