What I want seems like it should be simple, but I could find nothing in the wiki or any examples that offer any help. When an avatar touches a scripted prim, I want the script to be able to detect the position of the avatar, in region coordinates, and see where I am. Is there nothing that will do this, or am I maybe overcomplicating things?

llDetectedPos(0) in a touch_start event, perhaps?

I made this one to show my position when I joined a Lucky Chair group.

default
{
state_entry()
{
llOwnerSay("Ready.";);
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
list koords=llParseString2List((string)llGetPos(),[","],["/"]);
integer x=(integer)llDeleteSubString(llList2String(koords,0),0,0);
integer y=(integer)llList2String(koords,1);
integer z=(integer)llList2String(koords,2);
llOwnerSay("http://slurl.com/secondlife/"+llGetRegionName()+"/"+(string)x+"/"+(string)y+"/"+(string)z);
}
}

While I'm sure you're code works, I don't believe it to be the most efficient way to handle things. Try this instead:

From: Code!
CODE

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llOwnerSay("Ready.");
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        vector koord =llGetPos();
	    integer x= koord.x;
	    integer y=koord.y;
        integer z=koord.z;
        llOwnerSay("http://slurl.com/secondlife/"+llGetRegionName()+"/"+(string)x+"/"+(string)y+"/"+(string)z);
    }
}

do something like:

touch_start(integer num)
{
llSay(0,"My global coordinates are: " + (string)(llGetPos()+llGetRegionCorner()));
llSay(0,"I am in " + llGetRegionName() + " at " + (string)llGetPos());
}

The function is working perfectly fine. It's just not working the way you wanted it to work.
