llGetPrimitiveParams on Linked Prims

OK, it seems that LL once again is making certain things really difficult...

I want to get primitive paramaters for linked objects in a linked set. There seems to be only 1 way to do it.

1) have a script inside the prim that runs the llGetPrimitiveParams command

This implies that I have to have a script running inside the prim. My frustration is that I can use llSetLinkedPrimParamaters to change a linked prims settings remotely but I can't get the original settings without that prim running a acript.

I have tried to use llRemoteLoadScript to send a script into the linked parts to get the paramaters, but you can't do that without setting each linked prims remote access PIN first (also requires a script).

So the frustration is this... I have a 100 prim linked set and I want to set certain prim paramaters on those items but unless I manually place a script in each one I can't remotely set it from the root prim.

Any ideas if this can be done?

You can use llGiveInventory to give a non-running script to all the child prims, take the linkset back into your inventory, rez it again, and then "set all scripts to running in selection" (or whatever it's called) from the Tools menu. This would be a way of setting a PIN for future use, too. This function, taken from Emma Nowhere's very handy script, "Fix Small Prims", http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Fix_Small_Prims, does the job very well

     GiveScriptToLinkedPrims()
     {
     	integer p = llGetNumberOfPrims();
     	integer i = 0;
     	for (i = 2; i <= p; i++)
     	{
     		key prim = llGetLinkKey(i);
     		llGiveInventory(prim, llGetScriptName());
     	}
     }

or cheat and preset the childprims pin access, then you can have a non running script that's later given and runs on the preconfigured child and immediately dies after reporting the properties you need. (slick no?)

script pin is a prim property.
