Has anyone successfully used the new touch functions? (llDetectedTouchST, ...) I have the latest beta grid viewer (1.21.0.94415) and i have tried many regions in the aditi (beta) grid. But I either get a script crash when I try to execute the functions, or they execute but return -1 or <-1,-1,-1>.

Yes I have. Both on the Beta and Main Grid.
Since I used the Beta 1.21.x client in both cases, I haven't encountered your results that are supposed only to happen with an older client. As for the script crashing, it happens only when the server doesn't support the new llDetectedTouch* functions. On the Main Grid, I even tried with and without Mono. No problem. Try harder!  |

I was playing with llDetectedTouchUV and LlDetectedTouchFace on the preview grid yesterday and they were working great. Quite exciting.

But I either get a script crash when I try to execute the functions, or they execute but return -1 or <-1,-1,-1>. There is a bug (fix in progress) in llDetectedTouchBinormal that will make it return ZERO_VECTOR at the wrong times, but others have been more predictable from here. llDetectedTouchUV can give false <-1.,-1.,0.> results, but in those cases llDetectedTouchFace should still return a valid face number. Today 1.24.0.94831 is giving me the same results as in earlier ventures to Aditi. The -1 types of results mean that the sim isn't getting the new position stuff from your viewer, it's only able to interpret the old-style touch information. Is your beta viewer all on vanilla settings? If you can get someone else to touch your objects, do their touches register OK? On the crashes, do those happen in every sim or only certain ones? _____________________

The crashes occur in Grasmere, which is running server 1.23. So I guess the crashes are no surprise. Although you would think the LSL virtual machine would be more graceful about unimplemented functions.
When I go to a sim running server 1.24beta the script does not crash. But it does not return the correct touch information. The script behaves as if I was running a 1.20 viewer. [14:31] touchtester: Hello, Avatar! [14:31] touchtester: Touched on face -1 at <s,t> <-1.00000, -1.00000, 0.00000> [14:31] touchtester: <u,v> is <-1.00000, -1.00000, 0.00000> <x,y,z> is <0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000> [14:31] touchtester: normal is <0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000> binormal is <0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000> But I am running the latest 1.21 beta viewer.

Problem "solved". The new functions don't work if the edit tool is active. For some reason I never tried it with the edit tool closed. There are also issues in JIRA about the new touch functions and the move tool.

Oh, so these were pie menu touches? That is a fun one, what should something that selects the whole thing return? :/
ETA: Yep, it's all pie menu touches, independent of edit mode. Yuck. ETA again: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-1902?focusedCommentId=72922#action_72922 Qarl already said yuck too, and apparently intends to leave it that way. /me trudges off to the wiki to document that. _____________________

LOL! OK, Qarl says that pie menu touches will be implemented after all, just not yet in the beta.

Thanks Viktoria! (and Qarl) Wow, you made your change to the wiki, then you changed it back (because Qarl changed his mind), and then Strife rewrote the whole thing.
