Summary

Function: llDamage( key target, float damage, integer damage_type );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

This function delivers damage to tasks and agent in the same region.

• key target The key for the task or avatar that will receive damage.
• float damage The amount of damage to deliver to the targeted task or avatar. Unlike collideable damage such as llSetDamage or REZ_DAMAGE, this can be above 100.
• integer damage_type The type of damage to deliver to the targeted task or avatar.

Specification

The llDamage function triggers a damage event on the targeted task. If any scripts in the target process the on_damage event, they will be fired before the damage is applied or distributed.

Damage types are provided as a convenience and a suggestion. Scripters are free to add custom ones for their own combat systems or repurpose the damage type fields.

To make it easy for the community to recognise and re-use custom damage types here is a table that scripters can add onto:

Flag Description Subtype Creator System
DAMAGE_TYPE_MEDICAL 100 Negative damage to heal a wound, damaged limb, first aid, etc. Intended for generic healing of biological nature. Positive damage would be medical malpractice Nexii Malthus Vertical Sim / SLMC
DAMAGE_TYPE_REPAIR 101 Negative damage from repairing an object or something mechanical, welding torch or wrench on a vehicle/robot/mech, etc. Positive damage can be due to mistakes, low skill or sabotage. Intended for generic healing of non-biological nature (e.g. a mechanical tank or an electrical system) Nexii Malthus Vertical Sim / SLMC

Caveats

  • Calls are throttled to a rate of ≤10/30sec per recipient. Exceptions are:
    • Recipient is avatar of the attachment.
    • Recipient is sitting on the object.
  • Triggering the damage throttle will shout an error to the debug channel and the script will continue running.
  • The prim containing the script and the prim receiving the damage must both be in damage enable parcels.
  • Targeting a seated avatar will redirect damage to the object the avatar is sitting on.


The on_damage event will NOT be triggered if the source of the damage is either:

  • An attachment on the avatar.
  • An object or vehicle that the avatar is sitting on.

final_damage will be triggered as normal.


The damage throttle is skipped if:

  • Damage is negative.
  • The source is an attachment on the avatar.
  • The source is an object that the avatar is sitting on.
  • The source is an object owned by a parcel owner or land group.
