Is there a collision event for the avatar?

Morning all,

Is it possible to tell when something has collided with an avatar?

I know a script within the colliding object can tell, but is there a collision event associated with the Avatar?


Thanks in Advance
Tip

You might try,

if (llDetectedType(0) & AGENT)

Good Luck :}

Cid,

If I put that code in a script in an object, I would know when the object collides with any avatar. But where do I put it to run when the avatar collides with any object?

Attachments only trigger when an object hits the attachment prims. How do I tell when my torso has collided with an object, eg when I've been hit by a bullet.

I suppose I could check my altitude, that's usually a good indicator that you have been hit

Try type ACTIVE instead of AGENT.

Cid,

Sorry mate I'm not making the question clear.

Once the collision event is triggered, I know how to find out about the object that caused the collision. But where is that collision event?

an example

Suppose my avatar is standing there and someone else shoots him. Within the bullet object a collision event will be triggered when it hits the avatar and probably punt me into the sky

Can I attach a script to my avatar who's collision events will be triggered by the bullet that hit me?

I can detect a bullet thats coming towards me. But how do I know that it has hit me?

Hope I've made it clearer. Thanks

Any attachment will only trigger a collission event when the avatar's bounding box is penatrated. So the attachment being hit will not effect it. so llDetectedType(0) & ACTIVE will tell you that your avatar has been hit with a moving object. I hope I understand what you are trying to ask now?

Cid,

Ah! So I can just put a collision event in the HUD, for instance, and that will trigger whenever the avatars bounding box is penetrated?

I assumed that an attachment's collision events would be triggered when the attachment's bounding box was penetrated.

Thanks for your help.

I havent tried the HUD with collision events yet, but I'm assuming that it will work the same as any other attachment... maybe.

Cid,

Many thanks.

Does.
Verified by experiment.
