[Opensim-users] llSetPrimitiveParams doesnt work anymore

[Fred Folkerts]

After using llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast everything went well.
This one is very much faster then llSetPrimitiveParams.
Together with llGetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_SIZE, PRIM_TYPE]) and 
llList2Vector(params,3) I can detect and control the cutting level

I still use the loop.
I'm not a very good programmer, so I keep it this way.
Thanks for the help, Fred

Yes I agree, loops with sleeps or functions that incur sleep penalties
will quickly cause the script to appear to "hang up" eventually. Try
llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast instead. If you need it to only apply to
the prim that the script is in, use LINK_THIS. If you for some reason
need the delay, try using a timer with llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast, and
a count variable, stopping the timer after the count variable has
reached a specific number of steps.
