If you save a script in to an atachment, any calls to llGetMass() will return the mass of the object.
after a rez, it will return a far different mass, I assume the mass of the Av?
any way, if you use your mass in any calculations this will obviously throw you drastically off... just finished "Perfectly tweaked" attachments magicaly breaking when you teleport, log or just change clothes and back.

Consider attachements your avatar. Yes it's a combined mass.

The way it used to work (I haven't tested in a while) was
a) Attachments had no mass. and b) if you asked an attachment its mass, it would return the mass of the avatar. Now, if you have an attachment that is attached and while it is attached, it sometimes returns its own mass and sometimes returns the mass of the avatar, then that's a bug and you should report it. But it's always been the case that a prim would return its own mass when unattached and the mass of the avatar when attached. It even says this in the wiki CODE When called from a script inside an attachment, this function will return the mass of the avatar it's attached to, not its own. _____________________

It even says this in the wiki I know how it SHOULD work, I presented a bug where it does not work that way. Its easy to test, just edit an attachment, make a new script and put llOwnerSay((string)llGetMass()); in state entry... it will return the mass of the Object. Remove and re-wear the attachment, Or lot/teleport whatever and reset the script (not recompile) and it will give the mass of the avatar, then recompile the script and it will give the mass of the object again. |

I've seen this bug exactly as you described it, and I've reported a reproducible case in a bug report. You may want to do the same, since my report was before 1.9, and it seems the bug is still around.
