I can't get on to test this right now.

Is it possible to move (rotate/translate/etc.) a prim that is part of a linked set without moving the rest of the linked objects?

For example, rotating an 'arm' on a moving object?

Yes, for example, llSetPrimitiveParams/llSetLinkPrimitiveParams should do this.

My only advice would be that if you want to save yourself alot of headaches... try to avoid having to move the Root prim.

Absolutely. Functions like llSetPos(), llSetRot(), llRotLookAt(), llTargetOmega() and llSetPrimitiveParams() do that when run from a script in the child prim. You can now move child prims using llSetLinkPrimitiveParams() from another prim as well.

Thanks!

For some reason, the only thing I could think of was a house I once bought where the doors had to be unlinked, or the entire house would spin. :)
