Summary

Function: float llGround( vector offset );

Returns a float that is the ground height directly below the prim position + offset

• vector offset offset relative to the prim's position and expressed in local coordinates

The requested position needs to be in the same region. Only the x and y coordinates in offset are important, the z component is ignored.

Examples

<lsl>// Get the object to land on the ground or on the water // by Konigmann Lippmann & Strife Onizuka FindGroundOrWater() {

   float fHeight = llGround( ZERO_VECTOR );
   float fWaterLevel = llWater( ZERO_VECTOR );
   if( fHeight < fWaterLevel )
       fHeight = fWaterLevel;
   vector vTarget = llGetPos();
   //llSetPos can only move 10m at a time.
   integer iCounter = 1 + llAbs((integer)(vTarget.z - fHeight) / 10);
   vTarget.z = fHeight;
   do
       llSetPos( vTarget );
   while( --iCounter );

}

default {

   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
       FindGroundOrWater();
   }
