llSetLinkPrimitiveParams PRIM_POS_LOCAL issue

[Marioni Unplugged]

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llSetLinkPrimitiveParams(2, [PRIM_POS_LOCAL, llGetLocalPos() + <0.0, 0.0, 1.0>]);  
    }
}

Greetings coders,

Can anyone tell me why this code, when put in the root prim of a 2 prim linkset, does NOT move the child prim (i.e. linknumber 2) one meter up when touched?

Replace llGetLocalPos() with

llList2Vector(llGetLinkPrimitiveParams(2, [PRIM_POS_LOCAL]), 0)

Aw, thank you so much

EDIT: I found that the above code in my first message actually DOES work. My script failed silently for another reason. But arton's reply definately got me in the right direction, thx!

The "WHY" answer would be this part ...

llSetLink

LOL

Yeah, llGetLocalPos() returns global coordinates when called in the root prim. Depending on where your linkset is located in the region, let's say <220, 150, 22>, it would try to move the child prim hundreds of meters away from the root. That's far beyond what the linking rules would allow.
