Thanks so much for this. I have been trying to figure out how to put poses into my furniture and couldn't get the hang of it. This was easy enough for me to do lol!

Help-I finally wanted to download the current version with the above-mentioned fixes yesterday, and it's no longer on SLEX?

<snip> Evidently, in a prim that is not the root prim in an object, llSetRot(llGetRot()) causes the prim to turn on the Z axis. Not sure whether this is an LSL bug or a feature, but in any case, the script now leaves the object rotation alone if it's not a rotating seat (i.e., "rotat" somewhere in the object description).

I suspect this problem would happen in any case when the cushion prim is not the root prim.

Thanks again for the bug report!

In child prims (non-root), llSetRot() sets rotation relative to the linkset root, whereas llGetRot() returns sim-relative rotation. So the two can diverge if the root prim is not at rotation <0,0,0>.

You can cure this by using llSetLocalRot(llGetLocalRot()) instead. Also llSetRot(llGetLocalRot()) will work just as well. These won't turn anything but the child prim however, not the avatar seated on it. So I suspect you will want to disable the stool rotation feature if the prim's link number is greater than 1. This method also works in a root prim, because a root prim's local rotation is sim-relative anyway, and local rotation on a root prim still rotates the set.

In my experience, llSetRot and llSetLocalRot both work the same linked or not, but llGetRot and llGetLocalRot do not. Bug, or feature? Depends on what was intended for them. I'd also prefer them to work as the get rotation funcs do, with llSetRot setting sim rotation and llSetLocalRot setting local rotation. I suspect it might break a lot of scripts to fix it at this point, so it's likely to stay this way for a while.

I'd love to try this but SLX won't accept my login. I can log into the forums here and most other SL web accounts, but even though I have tried 2 different browsers SLX just isn't working. Is there somewhere in-world I can get a copy of this utility?

I downloaded the scripts themselves from the server and created my own Helper, but every time I sit on it I am positioned about six feet above the helper disk I created. I can't seem to actually sit on the disk itself, probably because I screwed up something while trying to make it work. I thought if I could get a copy of the actual helper it would work.

Umm, you do have to register first, right?

Hmm, good point. It should whisper at MOST, and I wonder whether it should say anything when rezzed. Frankly, there's no need for it to reread contents when rezzed. I'll look into it.
