refrencing a prim from script

Hi,

How do you reference a prim in a script that is in another prim.

I am trying to make a 'lid' raise up,but the script as it to open needs to be in the bottom of the object, you click on bottom and depending on the options selected, the lid will raise up

Think of it like a clamshell

Also Im not sure I will be able to link all the prims together, so they may be all the same object, just not linkedl (is that possible?)

Thanks,

PhE

It probably involves a whole lot of llListen. You'll want to set up the listen so that the lid listens only to the base.

llListen(78766, "base_name", "NULL_KEY", "message_for_opening";

But, really, if you're talking about an opening box, you want to link the parts and use link messages.
