Hey guys I was playing with the root prims location but I cant seem to be able to rotate the sensor in that prim here is the sensors line (I need the sensor beam to be accurate as I am trying to make an accurate gun)
llSensor("","",SCRIPTED ,100,PI/80);
I have tried a sensor repeat and it shows that the area above a scripted prim (my guess is .1 Meters and directly above the center of the prim) is the center
any to make it say accurate while rotating the sensor beam?

to rotate a sensor, rotate the prim it's in... sensors face in the local positive X axis line

The "target" is a square prim with a script in it |

shot in the dark pardon the pun, but you also may want to try llLookAt, its and auto focus through sensor repeat but might not be what your looking for.

The "target" is a square prim with a script in it you could use edit linked parts (the checkbox in the edit window) to rotate the root prim, you could move the sensor script to a different prim, or link an extra prim for the sensor (as you guessed). also assuming that the script requires being in the root, you could unlink and relink the whole object with a differnt (perhaps easier to rotate) prim as root... unink, deselect the prim you want to be root, reselect it and link. that will change your root to the new prim, you may want to take out the script first, then drop it back in after. without knowing many factors, like: what size is the sensor cone, where it the actual cone in relation to the object you're 'firing', & is the target made up of multiple unlinked prims, I couldn't guess why it only seems to hit the top half... oh btw, welcome to the forums =) _____________________

in the edit window, near the top, there is a drop down box labeled 'ruler mode' change it to local... the pointy end of the red arrow is where your sensor is pointing (make sure you have a single prims selected and edit linked parts checked for multiprim objects)
as for rotating, if you mean just the sesor and not the prim, no, doesn't work. must rotate the prim.... anything that will rotate the prim wil rotate the sensor cone _____________________

ok this maybe stupid, but when its in mouselook (and thats how its setup to fire) it's still shooting higher then the mouselook reticle, but shouldnt it be level if its in mouselook?

You need to "adjust the site" on your gun and offset it a bit. There is an example gun script on the page below that will show you how.
