Whether {{{3|}}} are passed to the root prim depends not only on which PASS_* flag is selected, but may also depend on if there is a script that in the prim that handles one of the {{{2|}}} events. For this reason most users will want to use {{#var:PASS_ALWAYS}} or {{#var:PASS_NEVER}} as they do not have this variable behavior. | |||

Prior to Server Version 1.40.2, {{LSLPT|{{{1|}}}}} was couched in terms of being a [[:Category:LSL_Integer/boolean|boolean]] and the only meaningful values were 0 and 1. The best practice at that time was to use the integer constants [[TRUE]] and [[FALSE]]. The design of this function left much to be desired. The problem was that while [[TRUE]] always caused all {{{3}}} to be passed along to the the root, [[FALSE]] would only not pass {{{3}}} if there the prim had a script that handled a {{{2}}} event. This meant to fully utilize this function the prim must contain a script that handled {{{2}}} events! With the release of Server Version 1.40.2, the PASS_* flags were introduced and the subtype of the {{LSLPT|{{{1|}}}}} was changed. Specifically the introduction of {{#var:PASS_NEVER}} solved this problem, allowing content creators to eliminate scripts that were only in the object to tweak the passing of {{{2}}} events. | |||
