I want to make a object rotate around a point but not neccessarily its center.
for example if you hand a ring around your wrist and began to spin your wrist the ring would spin at the point of contact not the actual center of the ring.
is this possible?

To do it client-side you need to have the root prim of the object at the centre of rotation, so add a transparent one if there isn't one there. Server-side you can do it like this: offsetRot(vector rotPoint, rotation rotAngle)
{
rotation newRot = llGetRot() * rotAngle;
vector currentPos = llGetPos();
vector newPos = rotPoint + ((currentPos - rotPoint) * rotAngle);
llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POSITION, newPos, PRIM_ROTATION, newRot]);

one of those headaches i guess. using an extra prim or using a a complex script.
which is the better way to go system wise.
thanks for the code. I'll get it working and see how it goes
