Hello everyone,

Is there a way, besides using sensor, i could use to detect an avatar position? I just want to rez something above an avatar which key i got during the script.

Thanks.

I can think of a lot of *bad* ways to detect an AV position. For example, you could shoot smart bullets in random directions until one of them hits it.

What's wrong with using a sensor?

llDetectedPos also works in touch and collision events.

but to get the object to follow the avatar, you'll need to use either a sensor repeat or a timer, most commonly a sensor repeat

while I think Lee's way would be amusing, if you're in an event that doesn't use detected functions then llGetObjectDetails will work also.
