Hi guys,

Sorry, I am at work, so I can't test this myself till this evening, but I am just so curious.

I have 3 prims, each one contains a script with a touch_start event in it that brings up a menu via the llDialog.

If I then link the 3 prims, and then touch the linked set, what will happen?

a) Three menus will pop up

b) One menu only, that of the root prim, the other two are ignored

c) Lots of smoke

d) None of the above

??

If you have llPassTouches() set to FALSE, then the menu of the prim touched will show up. If the llPassTouches() command is set to TRUE, then the root-prim menu will appear.

llPassTouches(TRUE); will mean both menus will appear, as the child touch_start() event will still fire as well as the one in the root. However, only the child touched and the root, not all prims.

with llPassTouches(FALSE); only the touch_start events in the prim touched will fire, unless there are none, then the touch will be passed to the root.

Additionally....you do not need to manually set llPassTouches to false...it is false by default without having to script it in. So unless somewhere in the script you've set it to true, you shouldn't need to do anything extra.

I've seen the command llDetectedLink, though it doesn't appear to have a page in the wiki and I've not used it myself. If it does as I suspect and actually works, you could really just have one script in the root prim and have it do an llDetectedLink and process the touch event depending on which link # it states they touched.
