llSafe(); - Returns True if Parcel of Land Is Safe Land

llSafe();

This function, when called, will return TRUE if the parcel the task is in is "safe" land.

This tool would be fantastic for weapons and shieldmakers.

On the offensive side, the responsible weapons scripters can disable push aspects of their guns, cut back on lag by disabling unnecessary sensor sweeps for tracking weapons and open channel commands for spell type weapons.

On the defensive side, the responsible shield scripters can also disable shell rezzing, remove sensor sweeps and physics disruptors, blockers, etc. further freeing up sim resources and thus removing lag.

We're getting parcel info that includes that in 1.9.0

If you make this a formal proposal I will indeed vote for this and I feel confident that many, many others will as well.

The check for allowing damage is the real key.

Weaponmakers could then make safeties for their weapons so they would refuse to fire if the check for allowing damage returns FALSE. If enough manufacturers were responsible with it, weapongriefing would be nearly a thing of the past, and the value of the then "contraband" old guns would go through the roof as they became collectible. It would also give the Lindens a place to look if new griefing weapons are created.
