store x,y and z postion of one prim

hi all,

How can i store the x, y and z-position of a prim.
Let's say: if someone is placing a prim the way they want i need to store that so they can reset it when they touch another object.

thanx

vector position;
float xPos;
float yPos;
float zPos;

default
{

    state_entry()
    {
         position = llGetPos(); 
         
         // This is not necessary, but I wrote it so you can now how to access to each coordenate
         xPos = position.x
         yPos = position.y
         zPos = position.z

    }


}

thanx kahiro, that helped me a lot...but.....

I looked at llGetPos() and llSetPos().
llSetPos() wil move the prim to the specified location.
llGetPos() will get the coordinates from the current postion.
(same as getRot() and SetRot())

Maybe I was wrong with my question.....

I want to move my prim....set that specific coordinates and set them to standard (store them)
from that moment, when i move my prim, i want the ability to place it back to the point that was stored.

So how do i save the llGetPos() (or GetRot) somewhere?

After rezzing the object and placing it in it's 'start' position, you can use a simple 'touch' to store the start co-ords in a global vector...

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
//stores the start position in global vector StartPos on touch
StartPos = llGetPos();
llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(),"The start position for the " + llKey2Name(llGetKey()) + " has been set to " + (string)StartPos);
}

when you want it to return to the 'start' position use llSetPos(StartPos)

Hi Debbie,

o so simple....but many thanx.
Sometimes I'm thinking too much lol.

I've got it working the way you said

mmmm,

now i've the same problem with rotation

llgetRot() and llsetRot() don't work

i'm trying things as vector StartRot = llEuler2Rot( StartRot * DEG_TO_RAD );
but i can't get it to work

same question: how can i set and get the rotation of a prim?

I'll assume you want the setting to be done in degrees?

you were close, but you used the wrong call... a vector stores the euler.. so you wanted what I have below

vector vVecFriendly = llRot2Euler( llGetRot() ) * RAD_TO_DEG;

gives you x/y/z as an axis rotation in deg

to avoid confusion of local vs global rotation, do all your changes/math on the vector, then call

llSet( llEuler2Rot( vVecFriendly * DEG_TO_RAD ) );

Hi VOid,

Thanx for the reply.
My savepoint is working now:
vector StartRot = llRot2Euler( llGetRot() ) * RAD_TO_DEG;


but when I want to restore my savepoint it always is placed to 0,0,0:
llSetRot( llEuler2Rot(StartRot * DEG_TO_RAD));

what's wrong with it?

edit:
even when I try to get the stored number i get 0,0,0 (???):
llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(),"temp from " + llKey2Name(llGetKey()) + " is " + (string)StartRot);

EDIT2:

Got it
had to use:
StartRot = llRot2Euler( llGetRot() ) * RAD_TO_DEG;
instead of:
vector StartRot = llRot2Euler( llGetRot() ) * RAD_TO_DEG;

and at start of script :
vector StartRot;

Many thanx
