get position vector with key?

Hello. Brand new to Second Life.

I'm looking for a function (or any method, really) that will let me get a position vector based on a key. eg, an object can easily call llGetOwner() to get the key for the owner... but I'm interested in the object being able to get a location vector on the owner. What's the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Open mouth, insert foot.

At the risk of being gauche and responding to my own post, I found an answer. If the object does an llSensor* call, the sensor handler gets passed id numbers on the detected items, and the llDetectedGrab() function will return the position vector.

*sigh* If I'd only held out just a -little- longer before posting.

I was also just searching for an answer to that very same question. I knew about using the sensor method but it seems a bit akward to do it that way... it gets more messy when your already using the sensor in loop mode.

If there is an alternative way (simpler) to accomplish that I would really appreciate it as well.

Thanks,
