VolumeDetect

llVolumeDetect

Summary

Function: llVolumeDetect( integer detect );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

If detect is TRUE, VolumeDetect is enabled, physical object and avatars can pass through the object. This works much like Phantom, but unlike Phantom, VolumeDetect objects trigger collision_start and collision_end events when interpenetrating. Collision events will trigger in any script in the object.

TRUE enables, FALSE disables

Specification

Differences

There are a couple differences in how Phantom and VolumeDetect handle collisions.

	Land Collisions	Object/Avatar Collisions
Phantom	Supported	Not Supported
VolumeDetect	Not Supported	Supported

VolumeDetect

• When physical they fall through the ground with the risk of going off-world.

Phantom

• When physical they collide with the ground but will not pass through (normal physical object behavior), land collision events are queued.

Caveats

• llDetectedLinkNumber will return 0 in collision_start and collision_end events of VolumeDetect objects (SVC-2996).
• It cannot be enabled on attachments^[1].
• It can only be applied to the root prim (which will make the entire object VolumeDetect).
• It only detects physical objects and avatars.
• When moving via llSetPos() by a loop of stages, collision events will not trigger.
• Attachments will not register collision events when the avatar collides with a VolumeDetect object.

Examples

<lsl>default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llVolumeDetect(TRUE); // Starts llVolumeDetect
   }
   collision_start(integer total_number)
   {
       llSay(0, "Detected!"); // Tells you when something penetrates the prim
   }

}</lsl>

1. ^ Attachments aren't included in the avatar bounding box, so it's moot
