Varying the question of the "Scripts in Attached Objects" thread, I've got a SensorRepeat script running in a Child prim of an attached object. Trying to detect the position and rotation of the avatar that the parent prim is attached to.
The Wiki says that Sensor will detect the avatar to which an object is attached, IF the Sensor is running in a child of the attached object. But, that's exactly what I've got, and the moment the object is attached to the avatar, the Sensor stops detecting that avatar.
Any secrets to this? Or advice of any kind?
Thanks!

Silly question but why does it need to detect the owner?

The script's purpose is to feedback to another script in the attached object the position and rotation of the owner/avatar. Kind of a GPS system. Where am I, and what position am I facing?

try the root object rotation. llGetRootRotation or something like that?

Thanks for that tip! llGetRootRotation and llGetRootPosition did actually recognize the avatar as the root of an attached object, which is something I did not expect. In most cases, it appears that an attachment imposes limitations on communication functions, so it was a pleasant surprise to discover that these functions worked.
