Trouble moving avatar sitting on prim

[Allan Ember]

I hope this is the correct place to be asking this question. Here’s my story: 

It used to be that my avatar could sit on a prim which when in edit mode I could change an axis parameter to move it and my avatar would move as well with the prim. Now when I try that the prim moves, but my avatar does not. From what I’ve read so far Linden Labs has been making changes and moving an avatar sitting on a prim has to be done another way.

What I actually want to do is program the prim with an avatar sitting on it to move to a certain location. So I found this webpage:  

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3408?focusedCommentId=88574

… which displays this line of code:  

llSetLinkPrimitiveParams(llGetNumberOfPrims(), [PRIM_POSITION, <0,0,54> ]);

When I use this code my avatar moves according to the vectors I set, but the prim does not. It stays put. If I substitute  llGetNumberOfPrims()  with  LINK_ROOT  or  LINK_SET  my avatar and prim move together, but only down, in the Z axis (seemingly by a fixed amount, about -5 meters, but I have to do more experimentation).

I’d like to know what’s up. What am I doing wrong? I just want to trigger a ride so at a certain point my cart with avatar(s) sitting in it jumps to another location. Thanks, in advance, for any advice.

Avatar still foloows the root prim, but updates don't always show when you edit. Try tapping Ctrl+R after you edit the prim's position.

You're right Cerise, in edit mode I moved the prim +4 Z and the prim moved up but I didn't. Then I pressed Ctrl + R and I moved to match the prim's movement. Thank you! I'll have to keep experimenting to make sure I can program the movement when triggered.

P.S.: In the past I didn't have to press Ctrl + R. I'm assuming changes Linden Labs is making is affecting that.
