The described event does not exist. This article is a feature request.

Description

Event: position_change( ){ ; }

An event for avatar transitions from sitting to standing, standing to flying, etc. Such events can be monitored with a timer event; however, that's murder on a server. Must call llTrackAvatarPositionChange with permission PERMISSION_TRACK_POSITION.

And this is different then using (not_)at_target how? --Strife Onizuka 18:58, 20 April 2007 (PDT)
