# llGetLocalRot

*LSL function*

```lsl
rotation rotation llGetLocalRot();
```

- Returns: `rotation`
- Energy: 10

Returns a rotation representing the local orientation of a child prim relative to the root prim, or the object's overall rotation if called from the root.

If called from the root prim, it returns the objects rotation.

```lsl title="How to use" frame="terminal"
rotation result = llGetLocalRot();
```

## Examples

<details open>
<summary>Example 1</summary>

```lsl collapse={1-18}
 //--// Door Script - Works At ANY Angle //--//

//-- works in ANY single prim door, linked or un-linked
//-- works in muti prim doors NOT linked to a larger structure
//-- REQUIREMENTS: a cut root prim. Suggest cube, pathcut start=.125, end=.625
//-- CAVEAT: single prim doors are limited to 5m width

 //--// USERS MODIFY HERE v
integer vgIntDoorSwing = 90;
//-- use -# to reverse the direction of swing, eg. -90;

rotation gRotDoorSwing;

default{
  state_entry(){
    gRotDoorSwing = llEuler2Rot( <0.0, 0.0, vgIntDoorSwing> * DEG_TO_RAD );
  }

  touch_start( integer vIntTouched ){
    llSetLocalRot( (gRotDoorSwing = ZERO_ROTATION / gRotDoorSwing) * llGetLocalRot() );
  }
}
```

</details>

## Helper functions

```lsl
 //-- this is an equivalent call from any prim in the same link set
llList2Rot( llGetLinkPrimitiveParams( target_prim, [PRIM_ROT_LOCAL] ), 0 )
//-- where "target_prim" is the link number of the prim you want to get the local rotation of
```

## Notes

Returns the region relative rotation of the object if called from the root
