newbie question - collisions

Why doesn't this say "bump" when I place it in a phantom object and stand inside it?

default
{
state_entry() {
llVolumeDetect(TRUE);
}

collision(integer detect) {
llOwnerSay("bump.";
}
}

Thanks!

As I understand it you can't make the object phantom in the usual way, or llVolumeDetect doesn't work. llVolumeDetect makes the object phantom for you anyway, but it's a special kind of phantomness with added VolumeDetect magic. So just put the script in a normal solid object and it should do its thing.

edit: oh yeah, and what Alicia said too, perhaps

default
{
state_entry()
{
llVolumeDetect(TRUE);
}

collision_start(integer num_detected)
{
llOwnerSay("bump.";
}
}


need to use collision_start()

Alicia is right!

Bummer. I actually want it to say "bump" as long as I'm collided, but I guess that that is what timer's are for...

Thank both of you for the speedy response!

this works just fine.... Thanks all!

default
{
state_entry() {
llVolumeDetect(TRUE);
}

collision_start(integer detect) {
llOwnerSay("bump.";
llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
}
collision_end(integer detect) {
llOwnerSay("done bump.";
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}

timer() {
llOwnerSay("another bump.";
}
}
