Set a Primitive Shape

31 July 2019

C10 - added the selection optional parameter.

20 August 2015

Release 8.44 - Corrade now applies data to the already existing shape if type is not specified.

18 August 2015

Release 8.40 - added.

Corrade can alter the shape of existing in-world primitives by using the setprimitiveshapedata command.

Command Required Parameters Required Corrade Permissions Example

Command	Required Parameters	Required Corrade Permissions	Example
`setprimitiveshapedata`	`group`, `password`, `item`	`interact`	llInstantMessage(CORRADE, wasKeyValueEncode( [ // set the primitive named "Ball" // in a 2m range to a sphere shape "command", "setprimitiveshapedata", "group", wasURLEscape(GROUP), "password", wasURLEscape(PASSWORD), "item", "Ball", "range", 2, "type", "sphere" ] ) );

setprimitiveshapedata

group, password, item

interact

llInstantMessage(CORRADE,
    wasKeyValueEncode(
        [
            // set the primitive named "Ball"
            // in a 2m range to a sphere shape
            "command", "setprimitiveshapedata",
            "group", wasURLEscape(GROUP),
            "password", wasURLEscape(PASSWORD),
            "item", "Ball",
            "range", 2,
            "type", "sphere"
        ]
    )
);

Optional Parameter	Possible Value	Description
`range`	A range in meters.	The spherical distance from Corrade in which to locate the item.
`data`	A CSV list of members from the ConstructionData	The data to construct the primitive by.
`type`	Please see the Corrade built-in body types.	The initial body to start from, after which the parameters in `data` get applied. If you do not supply this parameter then `data` will have default values.

There are three cases depending on whether data or type are specified:

In case only type is specified, the primitive shape will be altered to match the specified type.
In case only data is specified, then Corrade will read the current shape data from the primitive and then apply the parameters specified in data.
If both type and data is specified, then Corrade will start off from the specified body type and then alter that body by setting its parameters to those specified in data.

Notes

This command is radar-bound.
