Avatars sitting on the object can be moved with [[llSetLinkPrimitiveParams]] and [[PRIM_POSITION]]. This was originally a mis-feature but according to [http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3408?focusedCommentId=88574#action_88574 Andrew Linden] LL has decided to support it.
=====Be Aware=====
* Moving the prim the avatar sat upon does not move the avatar.
* Moving an avatar does not move the prim they sat upon.
* Sit-target coordinates do not easily map to prim coordinates
** To mimic updating of a sit-target, use UpdateSitTarget found here: [[llSitTarget#Useful_Snippets]]<br>All the nasty work of translating the coordinates has been done.
The below example moves avatar to x,y,z without moving the prim they are sitting on.  If x,y,z is more than 54 meters away the function will silently fail. Remember x,y,z is in object relative coordinates just like any other linked prim in a set.
Avatars are always the last prims in the set, so [[llGetNumberOfPrims]] can be used for a single avatar sitting on a vehicle.
Example: <code>llSetLinkPrimitiveParams([[llGetNumberOfPrims]](), [[[PRIM_POSITION]], <x,y,z>]);</code>

Description

Constant: integer PRIM_POSITION = 6;

The integer constant PRIM_POSITION has the value 6

PRIM_POSITION is used to get or set the prim's position.

llSetPrimitiveParams

llSetPrimitiveParams([ ..., PRIM_POSITION, vector position, ... ]);
• vector position position in local or regional coordinates depending upon the situation.

The same syntax applies to llSetLinkPrimitiveParams, but with the addition of a link parameter.

Caveats

  • Depending upon the situation position may need to be in local coordinates or region coordinates, See llSetPos#Specification for details.
  • The range the prim can move is limited if it is an unattached root prim. The distance is capped to 10m per PRIM_POSITION call. See WarpPos. This is a very special case. Do not rely on rule duplication of other flags - the results are undefined, and things will break in the future.

llSetLinkPrimitiveParams and Avatars

While llSetLinkPrimitiveParams can be used to update the positions

llGetPrimitiveParams

llGetPrimitiveParams([ ..., PRIM_POSITION, ... ]);

Returns the list [ vector position ]

• vector position position in region coordinates.
