Do you need Push in your SL?

Seriously, why is this capability even in the function set especially when we lack the legal arenas where it can be used.

Remove it and solve the problem. It does not take a genius....

Troy

cause i like my guns?

that was FAST! wow.... you replied before I posted

hehe

LOL, im the fastest girl in the west watch out buster!!

I don't need push for anything i do. If i ever do i don't do it in public thats for sure. Same with sex.

I don't normally use Push in my SL.. I'm not a big fan of cars personally, but I wouldn't want to see it gone, just be able to see it toggled on and off on my avatar.

Well here is the thing. Its not Push thats broken it the people, lol..
We need a better way to remove people. Also maybe getting permission
or something to allow it.

But Im a scripter, and I use it. You can do some cool things with it.
And like nearly all things in SL it can be abused. Tons of other
scripting calls, physics, and some other things can all be used
badly.. The only thing in common with this is the bad people.
So we need to remove them.

Maybe a per person(in addition to per parcel there already doing)
ability to disable of push is a good idea, and the 1st time
someone/something want to push you is asks or something..

But removing alltogether, no.
But I can see how somepne who does'nt know much about
push/scripting/physics would think its the push that were bad.

Oh, one other thing. Push has been limited by the lindens twice
since way back in beta.. Push used to be much more usefull..
Now its very hard to use because LL weakened it so much.
(strength used to be linear to distance, now its exponential -- sigh)

Push is a useful tool. My nice new Elevator wouldn't work as well without it. Neither would my Hovercraft.

While I view the "no push" land option as a ncessary evil, it is, at best, a stopgap measure. Blaming push for the evils caused by griefers is like blaming internal combustion for the car accident you had.

The better solution, the ONLY good, permanent solution is the individaul push/no push option, with the ability to say - Yes, let this object/person push me, otherwise, I am not pushed.

i don't need guns....don't really own any, but push as an lsl function has so many other uses

really i don't push was ever intended for weapons/arenas in the first place. that's what the hp system and character animations was for. i think push was designed more for games/interactive environments (think trampolines, windy tunnels, currents in streams, those void spaces you jump over as mario where the wind blows you up) and was misused by asshat gun makers :3

awwww pushy pushy pushy!

Aren't pushing and pulling integral parts of sex?

Maybe there can be some good to come of push permissions.

Maybe there could be a return of linear push since people could deny it altogether if they wish.

Physical objects need: llSetStatus(STATUS_ACCEPT_PUSH, TRUE);

Avatars need the same thing, with the setting in an easy to get to spot and be able to be changed using the same library call for HUD controls. It would be fabulous if one could temporarily grand push to a particular object: "This object would like to push you." dialog.

Default should be "false".

This would allow folks to be pushed when they wanted to be, and not be when they do not want to be. (Including thier vehicles.)

I love choice, don't you?

It isn't an either/or question, we can have both, when we want them.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

It's so obvious that this is the way to go. I hope the parcel push option is just the best they can give us right now, because disallowing push at the client and script level is what we REALLY, REALLY, REALLY need.

Say bye bye to my diving boards - and a few other goodies too...

It's not all guns.

to go on siggy's way, say bye bye to my motorball rollers and my pony rider and my sub collar

Personally, I think that a three-way setting would be good. On, off, and "ask".

For ask, you get a pop-up just like you do for a hug animation. If you ad a checkbox that allows you to accept a push from that source again without asking, it'd pretty much be ideal.

But allowing someone to shoot you 3 sims away without checking, where you have to have get permission to get a hug...that's just ass backwards design.

What Jack said, he pounded that nail.

There are quite a few legitimate uses for Push, thanks much. Like my old pinball machine.

What's needed is not a gimped toolset, but a granular land permissions scheme that allows only certain script actions. Has been needed for some time.

How exactly is Push used in vehicles? i have built several of them in my 1 1/2 years in SL, and never once used llPushObject in any of their scripts. O.o

what about this: everybody can set if he can be pushed (if he set himself no push, no object he own can push in his vicinity) but a land owner can decide to override this setting if he need push to be active on his land, or can force it deactivated

Keep push, but make it optional - a toggle in preferences.

Because I hate the vehicle system, I tend to use llApplyImpulse and llSetForce in my vehicles. Not the same thing, but they get confused often enough.

Did your pinball machine use push on avatars? Did it use push on avatars other than the owner of the pinball machine?
