Summary

Function: integer llGetObjectPrimCount( key prim );

Returns an integer that is the total number of prims in the object that contains prim.

• key prim prim UUID that is in the same region

Avatars sitting on the object are not counted[1]. Zero is returned if prim (1) is not found, (2) is part of an attachment[2], or (3) is not a prim.

Caveats

  • This cannot be used to detect if an avatar is seated (by checking for a non-zero return), use llGetAgentInfo instead.
  • The prim count for attachments are not returned[2]. If possible use llGetNumberOfPrims instead.

Examples

<<lsl>default {

   touch_start(integer num)
   {
       integer prims = llGetObjectPrimCount(llGetKey());
       if (prims == 0)
       {
           // llGetObjectPrimCount returns zero for attachments.
           prims = llGetNumberOfPrims();
           // Avatars can't sit on attachments so this is ok.
       }
       llOwnerSay("This object has "
                   + (string)prims
                   + " prims and "
                   + (string)(llGetNumberOfPrims() - prims)
                   + " avatars.");
