Caveats
Examples
This one of my favorite, because it is a example of usless function. Every avatar, regardless how tall he is, or how much soup he has got from his mama, weight 19.177782 N. (1.954922 Kg) Try it ; default { touch(integer n) { llSay(0, llDetectedName(0) + " your weight is " + (string)(llGetObjectMass( llDetectedKey(0) ) * 9.81) + " N "); } } Because 50% of my students don't know difference between mass and weight, I whould like to explain it here again. Mass [m] is the quantity of materia that a avatar has inside itself, and is expressed in Kg (Kilogramms). The Weight [G] is a Force, expressed in N (Newtons), and it is m * g, where g is the the gravitational atraction. On the Earth the g is 9.81 m/s², on the Moon 1.63 m/s², on Venus 8.60 m/s², on Mars 3.70 m/s² and on the Sun 274 m/s².Anylyn Hax 15:02, 28 July 2007 (PDT)
