llRezAtRoot returns...?

I use:

llRezAtRoot("something", llGetPos(), ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, 0);
llCreateLink(some_key, TRUE);

to create an inv-contained object at the center of the scripted object, and then I want to link that new object to the one that rezzed it. Only one problem: I don't have 'some_key'... I can't find documentation that lists if llRezAtRoot returns a value (and what type).

Wiki has no details yet. I'll be happy to add if I figure this out.

Also, how does llCreateLink affect ordering? (does the newly-linked object became the "last", etc)

Any ideas?

Try the event "object_rez".

That looks promising. Thanks!

gene,

Regarding the ordering for llCreatelink(ed) items as is on the Wiki under llCreateLink

llCreateLink(key target, integer parent)

If parent == TRUE, the object calling this function will be the parent prim of the new link set.

so the second parameter determines if the object containing the script will become the parent or not when linking.

Okay, I've updated the Wiki a bit to add some details. Newly linked objects become the first child of a parent if the parent argument is TRUE and they'll have a link number of 2 (since the parent will be 1).

Corrections welcomed (but it seems to work in my script, at least).

gene by the above comment about the target receiving a link message, do you mean the object can now recieve link_messages or that it recieves a specific link message because of the linking that has just occured? The latter seems strange behaviour, but that's the way i read it..

Gah! Thank you, Rysidian, for pointing that out. I botched my description, and I've corrected it now:


Let me know if there are any further problems, and a salute to you for catching the bungle.

Don't forget to try mousing over the function in the script editor. I tend to find that information is more accurate than the documentation (a la llAttachToAvatar).
