default {
state_entry() {
string owner = llKey2Name(llGetOwner());
llSensorRepeat(owner, "", AGENT, 96, TWO_PI, 1);
}
sensor(integer n) {
float time = llGetAndResetTime();
llOwnerSay("I see you, last I saw you was " + (string)time + " seconds ago");
}
no_sensor() {
llOwnerSay("I do not see you.");
}
}Put that in a plywood cube next to a sim border. If you are in the same sim, it will say: From: someone Object: I see you, last I saw you was 0.984017 seconds ago
Object: I see you, last I saw you was 1.029120 seconds ago
Object: I see you, last I saw you was 1.006370 seconds ago
Object: I see you, last I saw you was 1.006831 seconds ago
Now go stand on the other side of the sim border: From: someone Object: I do not see you.
Object: I do not see you.
Object: I do not see you.
Object: I do not see you.
Object: I see you, last I saw you was 5.374791 seconds ago
Object: I do not see you.
Object: I do not see you.
Object: I do not see you.
Object: I do not see you.
Object: I see you, last I saw you was 5.196138 seconds ago |

Funny that, that's about the same amount of seconds a vehicle lags when crossing a sim border.

Did this work right before the patch? I swear that my collar worked over sim borders before, but indeed, I found it doesn't anymore... I just chalked it up to my imagination.

Yes, sims only seem to send info out every 5 seconds or so (*really* maddening with av Av detector). You can use math to rule it out (and then another sensor in the neighboring sim, communicating back) in some cases... but darn if I don't curse at it anyway.

I'm only 1/2 awake atm, but doesn't key2name only work in the sim that the object is in if the avatar is also in the sim? That may be your problem. I'll try to get in world and test it without the key2name in a bit and post back.
*edit* i'm gettin the same results, using key2name for the string and using just the ownerkey :-/

I had originally just put my name in there, then changed it to make it work for others. It will work if you start it with yourself in the same sim. Sensors did work over sim borders in 1.6. (And in 1.0, when I was playing around with this stuff last.) To my knowledge there was not a wierd 5-second interval involved. |

I thought they'd not work at all cross borders  I've managed to lose a good number of critters this way, they couldn't follow me beyond the sim's limits. Thanks for the little test, I can use that kind of data

It's probably to reduce lag on neighboring sims?

Well, Huns, I know my little Av-detector gadget I wear which is sensor-based DID have a "delay" across borders, even in 1.6. (That is, I could be standing somewhere near the edge, have someone just over the border, and it would constantly detect/undetect them.) I haven't played around with it personally enough to figure out what, if any, differences are in 1.7, but it feels similar to me. Which isn't saying you're wrong at all. I'm a dabbler and I don't exactly rigorously test the scripts I do under every possible condition, since nine times out of ten it's a hack put together for nobody but m'self.... but I think I'll do some further poking now that it's been brought up.
