Sets the size of the prim according to size

The components of size (x, y & z) each need to be in the range [0.01, 64.0], if they are out of the range they are rounded to the nearest endpoint.

How to use
llSetScale(ZERO_VECTOR);

Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”
  • 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

Example 1
7 collapsed lines
//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.
