I think there's an llDetectedLinkNumber function. So maybe something like:

CODE

touch_start(integer num)
{
  llOwnerSay((string)llDetectedLinkNumber(0));
}

I think what you meant to say is "llGetLinkNumber", not "llDetectedLinkNumber"? The detected thingies refer to the one who did the touching, not to the one who is touched.

No llDetectedLinkNumber is Correct in this instance.
It gives the link number of the prim that was touched where as llGetLinkNumber returns the link number of the prim the script is in.

Yes, you can put the script in the root prim and have it handle all the touching of child prims.

You would use llGetLink Number in your child prims if they needed to know their link number for some reason, i.e. to respond to specific linked messages maybe.
