Prim reflector?

Is there a script for generating an exact reflection of a linked set of prims?

And on a side note, is there a script for taking an unattached object carefully lined up on a avi and attaching it that selfsame spot?

My current method for (1) involves a lot of note-taking, and for (2), a lot of swearing and muttering.

Don't know if they already exist, but I think (2) is a lot simpler than (1).

For (2), the script would just have to record the region coordinates, and on attach() it would get its (global) pos & rot, calculate and apply the (local) pos & rot changes to put it back where it belongs, and remove itself.

To be general, (1) seems nightmarishly complex; wouldn't it would have to understand how to invert all kindsa stuff including tapers, twists, shears, radius offsets, and even texture rotations and offsets--all about an arbitrary plane possibly intersecting the object itself? Maybe it's simpler than I think, but it sure *feels* scary.

this works on individual prims

You make (1) sound easy, Qie. OTOH, I think you're giving yourself the heeby-jeebies with (2). The script itself wouldn't have to understand anything, just the writer; to understand when to take B from 100 and put it in E and vice-versa, for example. To make things easier, the user might have to specify a plane from world X-Y, Y-Z, X-Z. It'll be easier to move the object to get the required reflection than to mess around with arbitrary planes.

Hell, I wouldn't care if it broke on some tortured prims, as long as it could handle the scutwork of creating a mirrored shoe or shoulder pad, forex.

I have had good sucess with the prim mirror
