Rezing offset taker

Hi, I've been makeing a few basic furniture rezing, systems, I've mostly been seting them up manualy. Which is a pain so I wrote these scripts hopeing that it would alow me to get the information which I can just cut and paste into the rezing script.

//// Base script (in the rezzer box/platform) ////
default
{
state_entry()
{
llOwnerSay("When you are satisfied with all positions touch me";
}
touch_start(integer CHANNEL)
{
if (llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner())
{
llSay(99887766,(string)llGetPos());

}
}
}

//////////Remote, (in all objects that will be rezed) //////////


default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(99887766,"",NULL_KEY,"";

}
listen(integer CHANNEL, string name, key id, string message)
{
vector REZPOS = (vector)message;
vector MYPOS = llGetPos() + llGetGeometricCenter();
rotation MYROT = llGetRot();
vector OFFSET = MYPOS - REZPOS;
llSay(0,"llRezObject("+llGetObjectName()+", llGetPos()+"+(string)OFFSET+",<0,0,0>,"+(string)MYROT+",rezchan);";
llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName());
}

}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


In this way each object says its rez comand (minus the "" aroudn the name but I can live with that).

The problem is that it dosn't give the correct offset I've tried substetuting center of mass for geometric center with no luck. I might just be to sick of the sight of it so if anyone can point out the error and fix please do.

llGetGeometricCenter() corresponds to no real readings you can get in world.

Use llRezAtRoot

(vector)message

You can do that? I'd assumed string to float was a hairy problem. I'll have to go in world and test. I hope it works. It would solve a considerable problem right now.

hmm, I'm seeing that without something like

positionSTR = "<" +(string)llGetPos() + ">";
llSay(channel,positionSTR)



the (vector)message returns <0.00000,0.00000,0.00000>

Use llRezAtRoot for precise positioning, I never really saw the point of llRezObject's strange offsetting that it caused.

Zed: Yeah, you can directly typecast any type to string.

sure you can cast anything into a string, It's the reverse operation that's atypical.
the string 1234 in most languages needs a string2number() function to turn it into the integer 1234

Integer: "1" = (string)1
Float: "3.200000" = (string)3.2
Vector: "<1.20000, 3.50000, 10.00000>" = (string)<1.2,3.5,10.0>
Rotation: "<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000, 1.00000>" = (string)<0,0,0,1>
List: "12243648" = (string)[12,24,36,48]

1 = (integer)"1"
3.2 = (float)"3.200000"
<1.2,3.5,10.0> = (vector)"<1.20000, 3.50000, 10.00000>"
<0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0> = (rotation)"<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000, 1.00000>"

Simple enough. This is also called explicit typecasting.
There is a full description of this and what typecastes there are available shown in a table: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Typecast
