The documentation for llGetPos() from LSLwiki says "When called from within a child prim in a linked set, it returns the position of the child in region coordinates, not the parent's position."
However when i do that it does not give the position of the prim in the region, it seems to give the position of the prim in the region assuming I am standing up. Is the documentation wrong? ls llGetPos supposed to give a phantom prim position ignoring any movement do to a pose.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thank you
Whenever

poses are just animations, the server doesn't recognize position changes when it's an attachment moved by the animation. basically, llGetPos returns the agent's position, not sure if it's slightly different for different attach points but yeah. if you're trying to record an animation with prims, it won't work

Right. The behavior for attachments is special. It is the position of the avatar. No, it does NOT change for different attach points. In many respects, positional and movement functions work in attachments like they are operating directly on the avatar.
Too bad there's no "avatar inventory" (as opposed to resident inventory where you keep stuff) like we have "prim inventory" to put scripts in directly; then maybe this kind of special treatment wouldn't be quite as necessary. Hmm. Do I sense an enhancement request JIRA coming on? LOL.

I recall posting about wanting to have scripts in avatars years ago.

thank you for clarifying this for me.
Is there any way to measure how much an attached items rotation is changed when you change from one sit to another?

yeah.... guess =(
actually if it's a static pose you can use an unattached prim in the same position to get the avatars position and calculate the visible offset you see
