Hi, I am trying to make a target for ranged weapons (a bow in this case) which will report the owner of the colliding object (i.e the arrow). All the ways of detecting a collision I’ve tried so far report the owner of the target rather than the owner of the arrow.
Can someone point me in the right direction before I run out of coffee please !!!

I know nothing about weapons, so I don't understand exactly what you're doing, but have you taken a look at llGetOwnerKey (http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llGetOwnerKey)? If you can get the arrow's UUID (with llDetectedKey probably), and if you're in the same sim with it, you ought to be able to get its owner easily enough.

CODE

 default{
	 collision_start(integer n) {
		 key colliderKey = llDetectedKey(0);
		 list colliderOwnerKey = llGetObjectDetails(colliderKey,[OBJECT_OWNER]);
		 list colliderOwnerName = llGetObjectDetails(llList2Key(colliderOwnerKey, 0),[OBJECT_NAME]);
		 llSay(0, "I was hit by " + (string)colliderOwnerName + "'s arrow");
	 }
}

Hugz!

I have successfully built my emotional safety net account at SLU and now feel reasonably safe to pop back in over here now.

Unfortunately there is no llGetNameOfTheOwnerOfTheObjectThatCollidedWithMe function. So you have to input the various parts to make your own.

Looking at my code you could still simplify it by using llDetectedOwner(0).

http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llDetectedOwner

Using that function and llKey2Name gives us this instead:

CODE

default {
	collision_start(integer n) {
		llSay(0, "I was hit by " + llKey2Name(llDetectedOwner(0)) + "'s arrow");
	}
}

ok very silly but it would reverse the problem :)

Ty again Jesse, now that I can understand ! Very elegant :)

That is another solution Dekka, I did nearly reach the point of a once only keyboard - monitor collision !!!
