Just a note - While I agree entirely that the prim order should stay constant for an object the user hasn't changed, as an application developer I always start by polling all linked prims to determine which one is which number (today), and then work off that list. Otherwise, adding a single new prim to the object, or unlinking it in order to resize or retexture a prim that refuses to change when linked, will totally break the user script, and is maddening. With polling, I can unlink or relink or add pieces whenever I feel like it and the code doesn't break. The one extra step only has to be written and debugged once and used as a utility subroutine after that. What WOULD kill it is if the root prim changed, of course.<br>
<br>And, I developed that habit in Second Life, although it's totally crucial in OpenSim since we have to keep unlinking complex objects in order to change a stubborn linked prim that refuses to change while it is linked. Why is THAT, by the way? Can THAT be fixed?<br>

I spoke to Melanie, she says she has a fix for this! apparently this has been an issue for a while, I had no idea, thanks Melanie :D <br><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 26, 2011 at 11:44 PM, Michael Cerquoni <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nebadon2025@gmail.com" target="_blank">nebadon2025@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This makes it impossible to script things that call upon a certain # in the link-set. I have filed a mantis:<br>
