Event triggers on collision with ban lines/land eject?

Hi guys/girls

Wonder if anyone could enlighten me further on this scenario.

I have an object that is non-physical and phantom until an avatar sits on the associated sit target. At this point the object becomes physical and non-phantom.

The object then moves under gravity until the avatar stands up, at which point the object returns to non-physical and phantom. Detect this using the "changed link" event and checking if an avatar is still sitting on target.

OK so far, everything works fine.

However, if whilst in motion, the object hits a land ban line/eject from land situation I've read in the wiki that the avatar will "unsit".

My question is does that actually trigger the same changed link event as a normal "stand up" by the avatar?

I'm finding that the event handling in the script doesnt execute if the ban/eject situation occurs and the object stays non-phantom and physical even after the avatar has been unseated. Everything else works fine under all other circumstances.

Is this the same problem that i've read about when people are in vehicles that get ejected over land parcels and lose the vehicle?

Any insight much appreciated!

the changed link event should fire off when an avatar gets ban/ejected. it sounds like you're running into is a no-script area as well as the ban/eject lines.

Hitting ban lines doesn't automatically unsit you, it bounces you.

It effectively makes a solid that you collide with and bounce off when in a vehicle.

Thanks all for the responses.

Yes i think it is actually now because i'm also encountering a combination of eject and no-script.

I'll get round the problem by making my object copy (was no-copy) and set a timeout so it auto-deletes in case it goes AWOL. Won't help if it ends up in a no-script parcel but best I can do to keep SL tidy


Thanks
