Hi,

i hope someone can explain me how you can see the difference between Touch and a Touch of 3 (of more ) seconds.

I have seen inworld that some scripts can see the difference if a person touch the object
with a normal click or if a person touch the object for several seconds.

i have seen it with a teleporter: normal click is the tp menu and if i click it for 5 seconds i get the configuration menu.

i can't figure out how they do it, hope someone can explain it to me.

thanks in advance

SL tells scripts when the touch event starts and when it ends..

http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Touch
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Touch_start
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Touch_end

The scripts are probably saving the current time when touch_start happens then checking it against the time that touch_end happens.

Thanks Meade,

I found it:)
They use llGetTime to measure the time between Touch_start and Touch_end.

That i didn't think of that:) maybe because it monday.

But thanks :)
