Please add the ability to get the coordinates of where on a texture a user actually clicked. This would allow us to create a texture with various clickable regions on it, using one prim instead of multiple prims. In a prim limited world, anything we can do to reduce prims and not lose functionality would be very welcome.

This would be interisting, kinda like hotspots. Is this even possible though? I would definitly like to see it put to use if it is.

Yes, what you do is have them go into mouselook mode when they click on your object. Then you can use llDetectedRot to figure out which direction they were looking when they clicked. With some math, you can determine where on the object they clicked (the margin of error comes from the inability to exactly determine the 'eye level' of different avatars, but this can be overcome with a callibration button).

Dearlord that is so much more difficult and inacurate than it should be.
vector llDetectedTouch(integer number);
Would return a vector that is of the format <x,y,side>, (x,y) is the distance from a corner and side is the side of the object touched. This would actually allow for interfaces on single prims. And I would highly support such a function.

As I forgot to mention it, please make sure the X/Y coordinates are relative to the face that has been clicked on, not the x/y coordinates in world - that way an object would function the same no matter where it was placed.

Isn't that what llDetectedGrab was for? Just make that work (it always returns ZERO_VECTOR atm).

From: someone Isn't that what llDetectedGrab was for? Just make that work (it always returns ZERO_VECTOR atm). llDetectedGrab is working. They way it works is: Click and hold down the mouse button on a prim, then drag the mouse. This is what they mean by 'grabbing'. llDetectedGrab returns a vector between the prim and the current location of the mouse. So the reason you are seeing ZERO_VECTOR is that it is not being grabbed at the time. Xylor |
