Description
Constant: integer PRIM_TYPE = 9;The integer constant PRIM_TYPE has the value 9
Gets or sets the type of the prim and associated type parameters.
llSetPrimitiveParams
[ PRIM_TYPE, integer flag ] + flag_parameters| • integer | flag | – | PRIM_TYPE_* flag |
Used with llSetPrimitiveParams & llSetLinkPrimitiveParams.
The values needed for flag_parameters is dependent on flag, please refer to the individual PRIM_TYPE_* articles for additional information.
Caveats
- PRIM_TYPE can only be used with LINK_SET if the object contains 10 or fewer prims. It can only be used with LINK_ALL_OTHERS or LINK_ALL_CHILDREN if the object contains 11 or fewer prims. If there are more prims, the operation will fail and an error will be shouted to DEBUG_CHANNEL. Work around this by looping through the prims with llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast.
- PRIM_TYPE will silently fail when executed by a script placed inside a mesh, whether the affect object is the mesh or not (in linksets for example), use a normal prim as your root prim.
- While it is possible to use PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT to animate an object, it is not recommended. For details see: Why UUID Flipping is Bad
llGetPrimitiveParams
llGetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_TYPE ]);Returns the list [ integer flag ] + flag_parameters
| • integer | flag | – | PRIM_TYPE_* flag |
The values that follow after flag, the flag_parameters, are dependent on the value of flag, please refer to the individual PRIM_TYPE_* articles for further information.
