llSetScale

void llSetScale(vector Scale)

Sets the prim's scale (size) to Scale.

Parameters

Scale (vector)

Technical Details

Return Type: void
Energy: 10

This function only changes the size of the prim that the script is in. Not the entire object.
If the prim is part of a link set, rescaling will fail if the new size is too large or small to satisfy the linkability rules.
Does not work on physical prims.

Examples

A basic door that opens and closes when an avatar collides with it:

//A basic door that opens and closes when an avatar collides with it.
//Not very effective, as it would be better to use llSetStatus(STATUS_PHANTOM, 1)...
//But, it works.
vector startingSize;
default {
     state_entry() {
          startingSize = llGetScale();
     }
     collision_start(integer i) {
          llSetScale(<0.1, 0.1, 0.1>); //Shrink
          llSetPos(llGetPos() + <0.0,0.0,10.0>); //Hide us
          llSetTimerEvent(3.0);
     }
     timer() {
          llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
          llSetScale(startingSize); //Go back to normal size
          llSetPos(llGetPos() - <0.0,0.0,10.0>); //And where we started
     }
} //Code by Xaviar Czervik.

Notes

The components of the size vector (x, y, and z) each need to be in the range 0.01 to 64.0. If they are out of range, they are rounded to the nearest endpoint.
For a flexible curtain or door script using llSetScale(), see the Curtain script documentation.
