Examples

<lsl> default{

 touch_start( integer vIntTouched ){
   string vStrMessage = "The prim with this scipt is ";
   if (llGetPos() != llGetRootPosition()){
     vStrMessage += "NOT ";
   }
   llSay( PUBLIC_CHANNEL, vStrMessage + "centered on the root prim." );
 }

}

</lsl>

Useful Snippets

<lsl> //-- there is no llSetLocalPos, this adds the functionality //-- to match llGetLocalPos() in a child prim fSetLocalPos( vector vPosOffset ){

 llSetPos( llGetRootPosition() + vPosOffset );

} //-- this will move a root prim by the offset, or set the //-- position of a child prim relative to the root. </lsl>
