Accordian-like room morph

I have scoured around online for a script that can make a room (with contents) spawn on button click. Like, for instance, you are in a room and you hit a button and a new room spawns out with contents in front of you or at a certain coordinate relative to the last room.

Is this even possible in SL?

Sure is; in fact many retail houses in SL come packaged in a small box which, upon clicking, rezzes the house in front of you (or around you, if you were standing in the right spot). Search the forums for "Builders Buddy" to see a free implementation of this idea.

Couple of notable limitations of this type of system:

- each object to be rezzed needs to have a script inserted inside it, therefore it must at least be modifiable by you if you didn't create it yourself

- there's no way to script objects to pack themselves back into the box when you're done. You'd need to do that manually, or if the objects in question are all copiable (and therefore disposable) they can just be deleted.

Thanks a ton! I'm researching now!

Search for the term "holodeck". There are plenty of these around of varying quality. Most of them work quite well with items that are both modifiable and copiable. For instance, they can remove one room of furniture and replace it with a different room of furniture in just a few seconds.

Holodecks rock! I've been researching them lately and so now I know I wants one!

Do be warned that at least some holodecks are extremely simple scripts, selling at extremely high prices. Shop around first, and expect more features than just being able to rez and derez conglomerate objects.

I have one and I need beta testers. Please IM me if you're interested, or post here.

I'll be posting it as public domain source.

All objects have to be copy/mod (though, contents of objects can be no-mod), and at this time all have to be within 10M of the rezzer object (which can be any object you want).

Allows easy scene adjustment and saving to notecard. Only owner gets the build menu, everyone else gets scene choice menu. Optional card-configurable authorization, by avname or "same group".

Currently, the rezzor stays in the scene, unmodified, and needs to be visible to click to change to next scene. Other options are possible, though, like a wall switch control unit, and making the rezzor invisible (or setting its texture) for a given scene.

I didn't know they were called holodecks. I searched for a number of terms in SLX and no luck! So, I wrote my own, using code snippets from MLPV2.

It's fun!

Wow... I didn't understand the last paragraph... but ok!

in the wiki script library there is a free holodeck script. Easy to set up...

Yow, that open source one looks a lot more complicated to use than mine.

Skidz Partz's holodeck is complicated because the instructions aren't clearly written in relation to the files I have.

Upon trying out builders buddy, is there a way to modify the scripts so that you can have separate sections to the rez.

For example, you have a base with components. Have one of the components have another unique base script. So, hit primary base, components rez along with the modified base script. Hit the new base script, more stuff rezzes.

Is this possible?

nevermind. I got it to work by changing the channel paths in which the base and component communicate to each other.

Nope, didn't work.

As soon as I rez a string of objects with the last one having a component and a modified base script to rez a new string of objects, the objects are removed from teh contents.

The script can be modified so that it does not delete the contents. However it typically rezzes all contents, so you may want to have a different base prim for each new room/build, each responding on a different channel.

This would work if rezzing rooms that were all one linked object.
