|summary=These functions are almost entirely identical. For almost all situations we recommend you use [[#llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast|llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast]].


They are very powerful & sharp functions. Each PRIM_* rule takes at least one parameter and has its own quirks and its own dedicated article with specific information.
There are two differences:
* How long does it force the script to sleep?
*: '''Zero''': [[#llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast|llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast]]
*: '''200 milliseconds''': [[#llSetPrimitiveParams|llSetPrimitiveParams]] [[#llSetLinkPrimitiveParams|llSetLinkPrimitiveParams]]
* Does it have a {{LSLP|link}} parameter?
*: '''No''': [[#llSetPrimitiveParams|llSetPrimitiveParams]]
*: '''Yes''': [[#llSetLinkPrimitiveParams|llSetLinkPrimitiveParams]] [[#llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast|llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast]]

|caveats=
* [[PRIM_LINK_TARGET]] is a special parameter which can be inserted to perform actions on multiple prims on the linkset with one call.
*Scripts written before September 2004 that use [[PRIM_TYPE]] depend on PRIM_TYPE to have the value 1; if these scripts are recompiled, the new value of {{HoverText|PRIM_TYPE|Value: 9}} will be used, causing errors at runtime.
**To fix this, replace the PRIM_TYPE flag with the value 1 or update to the newer PRIM_TYPE syntax.
* [[PRIM_ROTATION]] is bugged in child prims. See [[llSetPrimitiveParams#Useful_Snippets|Useful Snippets]] for a workaround, or the linked SVC-93 issue below.
* This function will return an error if fed data of the wrong type. This is problematic when feeding data into it from user input or notecard. To remedy this, see this List Cast function: [[list_cast]]
* '''Some prim properties are reset''' by this function
** A flexible prim will become not flexible
** A sliced prim will become unsliced
*: In order to preserve properties they must be saved and explicitly set in the function call
{{LSL Tip|When wanting to change the alpha value of a face, please consider using [[llSetAlpha]](float alpha, integer face); instead of [[llSetPrimitiveParams]]([ [[PRIM_COLOR]], integer face, vector color, float alpha ]);, that way, you don't have to mess with the color settings. (And there is no 0.2 second delay.)}}
