I think I know the answer to this, but just to make sure, I will ask anyway:

Can a child object in a linkset have volumedetect set to TRUE without turning the parent or other parts of the linkset phantom?

I don't believe so, if you put a script in the child prim to make it phantom the whole thing goes phantom. If you put a llVolumeDetect(FALSE) script in the root prim, the whole linked set goes solid. Basically, it appears to apply to the entire object in everything I've tested. Depending on what you're trying to do you may be able to get around it by using collisions, I.E if we're colliding with the child prim(s) that should be phantom, make the whole thing phantom until we're no longer colliding with the specific child prims. Or not having the phantom/nonphantom pieces linked together, of course...

The person who asked the question is wanting to do something along the lines of having a hoop for people to fly through and use another object linked to the hoop to do a volumedetect to verify that the AV has flown through the loop.

I assume they are wanting to have something that can be moved as a unit and use link messages rather than llSay.

Hmmm...possibly just make it a 2-prim object that uses collision-start events differently depending on whether the person hits the hoop or the hole in the center. Use a push if the person hits the hoop...
