Example 1
default
{
    touch_start(integer vIntTouched)
    {
        string vStrMessage = "The touched prim is ";
        if (llDetectedLinkNumber(0) > 1)
        {
            vStrMessage += (string)llVecMag(llGetLocalPos()) + "m from ";
        }

    }
}

Helper functions

Section titled “Helper functions”

There is no function to set the position of a prim local to itself.

To set the position of a prim local to itself you would have to do something like:

SetPositionLocalToCurrentPosition(vector local_position)
{
    llSetPos(llGetLocalPos() + (local_position * llGetLocalRot()));
}

Or:

SetPositionLocalToCurrentPosition(vector local_position)
{
    llSetPos(llGetPos() + (local_position * llGetRot()));
}
