im trying to make an object set its regional position to either the position of another prim such as a base or by what i set in its description field. im having troubles of how to do the 1st way and the 2nd way keeps having the error of not being able to go from string to vector and i cant solve it. ide like help for either way or both if possible thanks.

vector pos = (vector) "< 1,2,3>";

if the object you are trying to get a source position from is within 96m you could fire a one time sensor to detect it.

if it's not, but you know it's key in the sim you can use get object details.

if neither of those are options you can have the source advertise it's location via region say.

ok having it say its position by region say is what i was thinking but in not exactly sure how to have the one prim say the "ship" ask for the "base's" position then goto that position. i understand the concept but not sure what to use plus i think that will still have an issue with trying to set a vector but being given a string

Use a cast.

eg:

vector pos = (vector) stringContainingAVector;

CODE

/*
object description:
example 1:   < 0,0,1>
example 2:   < 0,0,11>
llSetPos will only move a maximum of 10 meters
This script will only work for example 1
*/

default {
	touch_start(integer n) {
		vector description = (vector) llGetObjectDesc();
		vector destination = llGetPos() + description;
		llSetPos(destination);
	}
}

CODE

/*
object description:
example 1:   < 0,0,1>
example 2:   < 0,0,11>
llSetPos will only move a maximum of 10 meters
This scripts will work for either example
*/

default {
	touch_start(integer n) {
		vector description = (vector) llGetObjectDesc();
		vector destination = llGetPos() + description;
		while(llVecDist(llGetPos(), destination) > 0.1){
			llSetPos(destination);
		}
	}
}

Alternatively if you want to move more then 10 meters instantaneously you can look at warpPos in the wiki.
