I've been playing with a bullet script and found that, on land where push is restricted, the Collision_start event does not trigger if the bullet collides with an avatar - even if it doesn't actually exert any push. I put in a line in Collision_start that just says what was hit, and this is fine when what is hit is an object, but if it's an avatar, nothing happens.
Can this be right?

This is not something that I have noticed I must say, and I just tested it with an alt shooting at me in my own no-push area, wearing an attachment which detects collisions, as well as projectiles which do things on collision, and everything seemed to be normal.
Is there some sort of collision filter on the bullets? Try resetting it, it may be a prim property. _____________________

Most land is push restricted. We'd all know if 'collision_start' didn't work in such areas. Believe me.

Yes, it does seem very odd.
In sim #1 - If bullet hits object, collision_start event is fired; if bullet hits avatar, it isn't, BUT collision detector worn by avatar reports a collision with bullet. In sim #2 - Collision_start always works. The only difference I can see in moving from sim #1 to sim #2 is that the first is push-restricted. I'm really scratching my head here! Why should collision_start not work in the bullet when quite clearly a collision occurred, as reported by the test subject's Mysti? If there was something wrong with the script it would fail consistently, not just in one sim and not the other. |

What you've got here is your first 'reverse engineer" of the server code. LL's work around for the complex code of "is X being pushed" (moved involuntarily from point a to point b) they let a mear contact flag (collision event raised) subsitute. It IS the less laggy of alternatives, sorry if it bungles your plans.

Oh. Here's a thought. Are the areas where you don't get the collision event damage-enabled, and has damage been set for the bullet? See http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llSetDamage
