Changing the texture on a face in a linked set

Hi guys,

I have two prims that are linked. In the root prim is a script, and when the set is touched the script in the root prim causes a menu to display. What I am trying to do next is to make a certain face of the second prim in the linked set change texture in response to a menu selection from the script in the root prim.

Is this possible? Any pointers how best this could be achieved?

TIA

Rock

The Wiki helps

(I assume, you know how to retrieve the answer from the menu... )

OK guys, I have it now.

llMessageLinked command in the root prim script, passing the texture to change in the str

link_message receiver in the prim to be changed, taking the str and giving it to
llSetTexture

btw. It seems whenever I get stuck, (brain stuck in neutral), and post a question in this forum, I find that while waiting and browsing the wiki more, the answer jumps out at me.

I can only think is is because I am less stressed after posting a request for guidance (as I am always confident of getting the answer here, even if it is 'you can't do that'), and my brain starts functioning again. Does anyone else find this?

your approach using llMessageLinked and a second script in the child prim is pretty much obsolete.

Like Haruki suggested you may want to take a look at llSetLinktexture.

Yes, I agree. I was told here a few days ago to use llSetLinkColor and llSetLinkAlpha... they worked a treat. While I haven't used them for my big (as in detailed, not size big) build - I've used it to create a little studio corner for when I'm building.
