# llGetNumberOfPrims

*LSL function*

```lsl
integer integer llGetNumberOfPrims();
```

- Returns: `integer`
- Energy: 10

Returns an integer representing the total number of prims and seated avatars in the linkset containing the script.

Returns an [integer](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/integer) that is the number of prims in a link set the script is attached to.

```lsl title="How to use" frame="terminal"
integer result = llGetNumberOfPrims();
```

## Caveats

- The number of prims returned also includes the number of avatars sitting on the object.

    }
}
```

## Helper functions

// Returns the number of prims in the object, ignoring seated avatars
integer getNumberOfPrims(){
  if (llGetObjectPrimCount(llGetKey()) == 0 ) return llGetNumberOfPrims(); // attachment
  return llGetObjectPrimCount(llGetKey());   // non-attachment
}
