It is rather unclear from the cut'n'paste of the sensor flags what llDetectedType actually returns for an avatar. I assume that in collisions, it'll always return AGENT/AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME? Or will it be AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME | AGENT_BY_USERNAME? For sensors, will it return the value the sensor was set up with, or some standard flag combination as per collision?

- I'm going to assume it returns just AGENT/AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME, as to return AGENT_BY_USERNAME would imply that llDetectedName is returning the Username. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 08:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

- The template Template:LSL_Function/detected controls most the text in the article. Index related text can be found in Template:LSL Function/negative index but the specific text being included is controlled by parameters in the previously mentioned template. The reasoning being that there isn't any point in writing the same content over and over again for all of the articles that share the same general functionality.
