Alright I'm trying to do a reletively simple script, and have been working hours at this trying to figure out why is not working  I have 2 large doors, and the root prim below. They are linked, and the root prim is for sure the one under the doors (so it can hold the script). Now, I can pull the data using llGetObjectDetails. From: someone
list objname = llGetObjectDetails(llGetLinkKey(2),[OBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_POS]);
llSay(0,"Obj Name for #2 = " + (string)objname);
It tells me "[14:51] Door Root: Obj Name for #2 = Right Door<206.301071, 114.577400, 26.722103>" However, when I Try to do From: someone
vector pos_2_shrink = <204.261, 114.577, 26.722>;
llSetLinkPrimitiveParams(2 , [ PRIM_POSITION, pos_2_shrink]);
It doesn't do anything at all. I've verified using scripts from the wiki that the objects are indeed linked and are detected as llGetObjectDetails even verifies, but I cannot scale or re-position the linked door at all. Any hints? I gotta be missing something stupid |

The linkset isn't locked, is it? I made a hinged gangplank once that wouldn't lift because I had absent-mindedly locked it while I was locking the rest of the pier it was next to.

Good idea, but it shows the "locked" box under the object tab as unchecked. Thanks though Still need help, pullin hairs out over here lol |

You are using region coordinates to move a child prim, ain't gonna work. It works like llSetPos, you need to use coordinates relative to the root to make the child move. The same 10 meter limitation is there, and also you can't move the child outside the link limit, both will make nothing happen. (Hm, a >10m setpos that stays inside the link range might work and stop at 10, kind of like for roots, but I've always run into the link distance first.)

To be precise you want something like:
llSetLinkPrimitiveParams(2 , [ PRIM_POSITION, pos_2_shrink - llGetPos()]);

Ohhh, ok, I got it to move, but is there a way to find out the reletive positive from the root to where the object is initially resting at? |

llGetLocalPos called from the child prim will return the childs offset from the root, in the roots LOCAL frame of reference (eg as if the root were rotated to ZERO_ROTATION, meaning it returns the same offset regardless how the parent object is rotated)
note: there is no SetLocalPos, llSetPos (and it's equivalents) automatically work in local mode when used on child prims.
