The Combat Log has been added as part of the Combat2 update which allows for auditing and useful usecases.

• Combat Log messages are sent region-wide on the channel: COMBAT_CHANNEL
• Records all damage events, damage adjustments and kills
• System generated messages by a specific ID that scripts may filter to: COMBAT_LOG_ID
• Scripts may write to this channel if not restricted by the region, check via: llGetEnv("restrict_combat_log")

System generated messages can be delayed up to 1 second as the sim collects messages to send them in bulk at a time.

Unless you want to intentionally listen to object generated messages it is recommended to set your listener to filter by COMBAT_LOG_ID, e.g. llListen(COMBAT_CHANNEL, "", COMBAT_LOG_ID, ""); This is because your script may end up unnecessarily receiving and processing custom messages that it was not designed to handle and ends up ignoring.

Message Format

The format of the combat log message is a JSON array ([]) containing JSON objects ([{},{},{}]). There is always an "event" property present to describe the type of the message object for parsing. The schema of the different objects are as follows:

JSON structure of a DAMAGE event

Key	Value	Description
"event"	"DAMAGE"
"damage"	JSON_NUMBER	Float of final damage applied
"initial"	JSON_NUMBER	Float of initial damage before adjustment
"type"	JSON_NUMBER	DAMAGE_TYPE_* or any number defined by the scripter of the damage source
"source"	JSON_STRING	UUID key of damage source
"target"	JSON_STRING	UUID key of damage target
"owner"	JSON_STRING	UUID key of damage source owner
"rezzer"	JSON_STRING	UUID key of damage source rezzer

JSON structure of a DEATH event

Key	Value	Description
"event"	"DEATH"
"type"	JSON_NUMBER	DAMAGE_TYPE_* or any number defined by the scripter of the damage source
"source"	JSON_STRING	UUID key of damage source
"source_pos"	JSON_ARRAY	Array representing the position of the damage source
"target"	JSON_STRING	UUID key of damage target
"target_pos"	JSON_ARRAY	Array representing the position of the damage target
"owner"	JSON_STRING	UUID key of damage source owner
"rezzer"	JSON_STRING	UUID key of damage source rezzer

Example Messages

Below is an example of a system generated combat log message, featuring a DAMAGE event following by a DEATH event:

Parsing Messages

You can use JSON functions to help parse the messages:
