Uhhh it's been a while since I've used llDetectedGrab and the article is all boiler plate (makes some effort to fix). The function is only useful in the [[touch]] event, where it will returns the vector which is the direction of the dragging motion. I could be wrong about the last bit... it's been a couple years since I've played with it. It has some strange effects when used in HUD attachments which make it very difficult to use I recall. -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' <sup><small>([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]])</small></sup> 10:56, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 02:56, 14 May 2009

The example below causes an inaccurate return of <0.0,0.0,0.0> when I grab the object the script is in. Thus the spoken result is far from correct (unless I stand in the corner if the region! lol). Since I was trying to write an example I have nothing to go on to discover if I am using this function correctly. Would anyone care to comment?

<lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSetStatus(PRIM_PHYSICS,TRUE);
   }
   touch_start(integer num_detected)
   {
       llSay(0,(string)llKey2Name(llDetectedKey(0)) + " has grabbed me from roughly" + (string)llRound(llVecDist(llDetectedGrab(0), llGetPos())) + " meters away.");
   }

} </lsl>
