control

Description

! Event: control( key id, integer level, integer edge ){ ; }

15	Event ID
0.05	Delay

Result of llTakeControls library function call and user input.

• key	id	–	avatar UUID
• integer	level	–	bitfield of CONTROL_* flags, non-zero while one or more keys is being held down.
• integer	edge	–	bitfield of CONTROL_* flags, non-zero when one or more keys have been just pressed or released.

Constant	Value	Description
CONTROL_FWD	0x00000001	Move forward control (↑ or W)
CONTROL_BACK	0x00000002	Move back control (↓ or S)
CONTROL_LEFT	0x00000004	Move left control (⇧ Shift-← or ⇧ Shift-A [← or A in mouselook])
CONTROL_RIGHT	0x00000008	Move right control (⇧ Shift-→ or ⇧ Shift-D [→ or D in mouselook])
CONTROL_ROT_LEFT	0x00000100	Rotate left control (← or A)
CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT	0x00000200	Rotate right control (→ or D)
CONTROL_UP	0x00000010	Move up control (PgUp or E)
CONTROL_DOWN	0x00000020	Move down control (PgDn or C)
CONTROL_LBUTTON	0x10000000	Left mouse button control
CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON	0x40000000	Left mouse button control while in mouselook
(undocumented)	0x02000000	Avatar left rotation detected. Triggers llGetAnimation == "Turning Left"
(undocumented)	0x04000000	Avatar right rotation detected. Triggers llGetAnimation == "Turning Right"

Caveats

• CONTROL_ROT_LEFT and CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT can be triggered when an object is selected or edited. If the user is running Viewer 2.0 and later, llGetAgentInfo will have AGENT_AUTOPILOT set in this case.
  • Autopilot control events can continue for a short time after AGENT_AUTOPILOT drops.

                            CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON |
                            0, TRUE, FALSE);
                            // | 0 is for edit convenience,
                            // it does not change the mask.
        }
    }
    control(key id, integer level, integer edge)
    {
        integer start = level & edge;
        integer end = ~level & edge;
        integer held = level & ~edge;
        integer untouched = ~(level | edge);
        llOwnerSay(llList2CSV([level, edge, start, end, held, untouched]));
    }
}

Notes

llGetRot in mouselook for an attachment returns the angle the avatar is looking in.

There are some bugs when you put two scripts in the same prim and call LlTakeControls(), the id may not be the intended one. See SVC-3187.
