Summary

Function: llSetPos( vector pos );

Moves the object or primitive towards pos without using physics.

• vector pos position in region or local coordinates depending on the situation (see #Specification).

Movement is capped to 10m per call for unattached root prims.[1]

Caveats

  • This function causes the script to sleep for 0.2 seconds.
  • Because of the intermixing of local and regional coordinates with this function, when a prims position is wanted it is best to use llGetLocalPos.
  • This function does not work for physical objects. Use llMoveToTarget instead.

Examples

<lsl> //Move the object up 1m when someone touches it. default {

    touch_start(integer i) {
         llSetPos(llGetPos() + <0,0,1>);
    }

}

</lsl>

Notes

Multiple movement commands can be chained together with llSetPrimitiveParams and PRIM_POSITION. The advantage of doing this is that the script only sleeps once per function call instead of once per movement.

Functions

•  llGetLocalPos Returns the prim's local position if it is attached or non-root (otherwise it returns the global position)
•  llGetRootPosition Gets the root prims position
•  llGetPos Returns the prim's global position, even if it is attached or non-root
