Summary

Function: rotation llDetectedRot( integer number );

Returns the rotation of detected object number.

• integer number Index of detection information

number does not support negative indexes. Returns <0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0> if number is not valid sensed object.

Specification

llDetected* functions only work if called from within Detection events (collision, collision_start, collision_end, sensor, touch, touch_start, touch_end) or in functions called by Detection events. They will fail silently and return unusable values if called during other events.

Caveats

  • If number is out of bounds this function returns <0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0> and the script continues to execute without an error message.
  • Events that enable the llDetected* functions always return at least one detected item.
    • Detection events are not raised if there is nothing detected.[1]
    • The detection event's items detected parameter is initially never less than 1.[2]

 //-- list of compass directions starting at East, rotated clockwise
list gLstCompassPoints = [ "East", "NorthEast", "North", "NorthWest", "West", "SouthWest", "South", "SouthEast" ];

   //-- convert rotation to a direction
  vector vDirection = <0.0, 1.0, 0.0> / rRotBase;
   //-- take the direction and determine the z rotation

   //-- take the angle and find the compass point

   //-- convert to string

Footnotes

  1. ^ The exception is no_sensor but it doesn't enable llDetected* functions.
  2. ^ Like all event parameters, the user can overwrite the initial value.
