I honestly don't understand why this is implemented to return BOTH scripted and physical objects in sensor calls. It would make a tiny amount of sense if it behaved the same way in llDetectedType, indicating there is some sort of technical hurdle in separating scripted from physical, but it's not. It would be super helpful to grid health if this could be changed so ACTIVE represents only physical objects when used in sensor calls, or even to implement PHYS. Having a sensor return all physical AND all scripted, especially with a return limit (16, isn't it?) hamstrings the ability to check an area for physical objects, triggering the sensor event full of junk that has to be filtered out with DetectedType or GetObjectDetails checks, and even then will not work properly. - Icra Nosferatu
