Is there an alternative to "Link"? (re use of llVolumeDetect)

Hi,

Is there an alternative to "Link"? (re use of llVolumeDetect)

I want to have object A solid & right adjacent to object B which will be phantom (using llVolumeDetect). The trouble is when I use "link" the effect (as object B uses llVolumeDetect) that object A will be phantom too, which I don't want.

Is there another way besides LINK to package objects up together for ease in TAKEing to the inventory etc?

Thanks
Greg

Greg - if you select all of the appropriate items, linked or not, and TAKE, they will appear in inventory as a single Object which can then be renamed etc. When you rez the object again all of the linked/non-linked items will be placed in their original positions.

If it's just TAKE that you need this for this should work fine... obviously if you're linking for other puposes (i.e. llLinkMessage) you'll need to think about using chat channels instead.

Hope this helps!

Sabre,

Thanks - should have thought to try this

You're right however. I am planning to have to send a MESSAGE of sorts from the llVolumeDetect item to a display board where I will show some information.

What's the best way to communicate between un-linked objects do you think? (e.g. to pass the objects name, time it collided etc)

Tks

The best way to communicate between unlinked objects is through private channel whisper/say/shout. If your objects are very far away, you'll need to use an e-mail function.

thanks
