CODE
llSetPos(llGetPos() *2);
Which gets the currect position and multiplies each (x,y,and z) by 2 and sets the prim to that position.
How do I just set the z position?

..forgive me, because I'm new, but I think you can use a getpos.x, getpos.y, getpos.z, where:
CODE
Then you could manipulate each more directly since llGetPos() returns region coordinates relevant to SW corner of the sim. Hopefully someone can drop some science to give you more specifics though. |

vector pos = llGetPos();
llSetPos(<pos.x,pos.y,pos.z*2>  ;edit > whoops, what Bertha said below, too. _____________________

Actually it's
vector pos = llGetPos(); llSetPos(<pos.x,pos.y,pos.z*2> ;  (Wait, how do you put a smiley in LSL?) Bear in mind, though, that multiplying by two does not double the distance from ground level, if that's what you had in mind. _____________________

Darn, doesn't wwork in a linked prim. llSetPos() should work just fine for moving a linkset (you'll likely want the script calling it to be in the root prim, of course). Are you sure the multiplication isn't your problem? I suspect you meant to *add* two to z, rather than *multiply*. llSetPos will only move an object a maximum of 10 meters, which means your object's z must be 0 < z < 5 for your code to work, and it's awfully likely you are outside that range. - P.

Thanks,
Ziggy came and straightened me out. I should have used llGetLocalPos instead of llGetPos. LOL |

Moving one prim in a linked set?
03-08-2006 10:26
Wait...is it possible to move one prim of a linked set...and not move the whole group? I've been struggling with this...and settled on unlinking everything and just communicating to the different (formerly-linked) prims via chat...but there has gotta be a better way!
I want to basically make a conference room wall -- accordian style -- that expands and contracts...it would be best if all parts were linked, but I can't figure out how to move one object...how does llGetLocalPos() help in this case? |

My understanding was that if a child prim called llSetPos() it would just move that one child prim. And if the root prim calls llSetPos(), it moves the entire linkset. I haven't actually tried this yet, could I get confirmation from those more experienced? |
