: It follows the same strange logic that applies to [[llGetPos]], that is, you'll only get reliable results if it's attached to ATTACH_AVATAR_CENTER and the attachment's root is ZERO_ROTATION relative to the avatar. This is all because the simulator really doesn't know anything about the shape of the avatar's skeleton, plus animations are a viewer effect.
