Phantom collision() events

Back me up - how many people wish phantom objects still recieved collsion() events?

I have a couple things that needed this:
- put a phantom object across a doorway to mark if people are going through there or not. A sensor will pick up people that are nearby and didnt nesseccarily go through.
- a phantom object that worked like a baseball card in a bicycle tire. As the tire spins, the phanton object gets hit and plays a sound effect. Then the sound effects go faster, the faster the tire spins.

I mean, even if you turn off STATUS_GRAB you can still recieve grab offset messages from llDetectedGrab() even though the object isnt moving...

Remember, when two objects occupy the same space, under your suggestion, BOTH objects would get collision notices. I can just ignore these in my phantom object, but soemtimes the whole point of its being phantom is to prevent the OTHER object from detecting it. Your suggestion breaks that.

Perhaps make collision detection a completely separate status code from phantom?

Good point. I definatly would want the non-phantom object to not get a collision event. Maybe add intersection() events that apply to phantom and/or non-physics objects.

Or, possibly, allow phantom objects to receive collision events, but not trigger collision events in other objects. I think that satisfies both sides with the fewest LSL changes.

If you don't want your phantom object to do anything with the collision events, simply don't code them.

what about an occupies_same_space event or something like that?
