Talk:PRIM LINK TARGET

Caveat/bug (UPDATE: Fixed soon after it was reported)

Note for whoever writes this page; PRIM_LINK_TARGET only works if the script is in the root prim. Otherwise it gives you an error. ETA: Maestro Linden thinks it's a bug: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SCR-162

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
       llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(
       1,[PRIM_COLOR,ALL_SIDES,<1.0,0.0,0.0>,1.0,
       PRIM_LINK_TARGET,2,PRIM_COLOR,ALL_SIDES,<0.0,1.0,0.0>,1.0,
       PRIM_LINK_TARGET,3,PRIM_COLOR,ALL_SIDES,<0.0,0.0,1.0>,1.0]);
    }

}

behaves as expected in the root, but gives the error

llSetPrimitiveParams error running rule #2 (PRIM_LINK_TARGET): bounds error; 2 is not in (-4, 0).
llSetPrimitiveParams error running rule #4 (PRIM_LINK_TARGET): bounds error; 3 is not in (-4, 0).

Bug in llGetLinkPrimitiveParams with PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_THIS (Won't be fixed)

When used with llGetLinkPrimitiveParams, PRIM_LINK_TARGET, LINK_THIS won't target the current prim. It will target the prim specified in the first parameter of llGetLinkPrimitiveParams. See [1] for details. Workaround is to use llGetLinkNumber() if possible instead of LINK_THIS. LL said they are not fixing it for backwards compatibility concerns. --Sei Lisa (talk) 17:31, 10 August 2015 (PDT)
