I don't have much expeirience with llCreateLink and the LSL Wiki doesn't mention anything about my question, so here it is.

Heres how I tested it:

I setup 2 Linked Sets of 3 boxes, the set with the llCreateLink script I'll call Set A, the other Set B.

On Set A I added a llCreateLink(key,FALSE); script which links to Set B.

When Parent = FALSE I have found that the Parent of Set A does NOT Link along with the rest of the set. Everything in Set A links fine except for the parent prim. Moving the CreateLink script into a child prim in Set A, out of the Parent, produces the same effect.

Is this the correct behavior?

To me it seems like a bug, logicly having Parent = FALSE would link both sets together, but with the parent of Set A not being the Parent of the newly linked set. The Parent of Set B would be the new Parent in the new set.

Parent = TRUE results in expected behavior, the parent of Set A becomes the new parent.

Is Parent = FALSE buged? Or is that how its supposed to react?

LL started porting Havok2, and linking is dependent on Havok, so maybe it broke in 1.4?

Hmm, maybe.

Could a Linden chime in on this?

Or anyone at all, if you know if this is a bug or a feature, please post.

I'm starting to think of work arounds for my planed use of it, but I'd still like to know.
