A single script that rescales every prim in a linkset

by Brilliant Scientist, 25th April 2010

Updated and heavily modified by Sei Lisa, 8th July 2015

This script uses the llGetLinkPrimitiveParams() and llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast() functions introduced in server 1.38 to rescale every prim in an arbitrary linkset. Based on Linkset resizer script by Maestro Linden.

The main differences between the two scripts are:

  • this script is menu-controlled
  • the script's listen channel is generated dynamically
  • more comments in the code for beginner scripters
  • it's just less chatty

The main differences with the previous version are:

  • modernized to use more recent features (it considers linkability rules now)
  • works with single-prim objects too now
  • closes the listener after a timeout
  • keeps the menu open until explicitly cancelled
  • MIN SIZE and MAX SIZE are commented out (but they can be enabled by removing the comment marks)
  • cancelling the DELETE option no longer resizes the linkset to the same size (it was a waste of resources)
  • no longer limited to 10m size per prim
