Flex prims prove it's possible - why no linking phantom to non-phantom prims now?

Okay. We've not been able to have some prims in an object phantom and some not before now.

However, if something flexes, it's automatically phantom. But it can be linked to non-phantom objects.

So there's clearly no technical reason not to have linked phantoms and non-phantoms. Why can we still not do that?

*grinds teeth*

hmmm.... gooood call. And very good point. it obviously can be done, however I also notice that things with flexy prims on them can't be set physical right? which is what I'd really want phantom to non-phantom linked prims for.

i linked a flexy prim to a physical one
it is possable.

If you link a flex prim to non-phantom object, then it triggers somewhat mixed behaviour: the flex prim also becomes non-phantom, but the collision is tested against the "base" shape of flex prim rather than vs shape affected by gravity, wind etc.

Suspect same happens with linking to prims with enabled physics...

/me perks ooooh?

edit: yep, so you can, however the flexible prim is no longer phantom in that case, it collides as if it's a solid non-flexible prim even if it looks flexible.
