API is rather strong at this point, but the internals have been stable for quite some time.

The technique I usually use is to place ObjA, ObjB and ObjC in another prim's inventory. Then I rez them by retrieving them by name, with code like the following. SceneObjectPart part; Scene scene; Vector3 rezPos; TaskInventoryItem item = part.Inventory.GetInventoryItems(objAName)[0]; SceneObjectGroup so = part.Inventory.GetRezReadySceneObject(item); scene.AddNewSceneObject(so, true, rezPos, so.Rotation, Vector3.Zero); If you need to link then programatically that's another issue. There is some test code in OpenSim/Region/Framework/Scenes/Tests/SceneObjectLinkTests.cs that should prove useful. -- Justin Clark-Casey (justincc) http://justincc.org/blog http://twitter.com/justincc _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list Opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list Opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
