Summary

Function: rotation llDetectedRot( integer number );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Returns a rotation that is the rotation of detected object number.

• integer number

number does not support negative indexes. Returns <0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0> if number is not valid sensed object.

Caveats

  • If number is out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.

Examples

//--// get compass facing of Avatar that touches this object //--//

//-- @@ = Contains code optimizations, see the following page for details
