Spatial Precision

Can anyone confirm the following?

1. The spatial precision for collision of physical objects is still 0.1m.
2. llVolumeDetect spatial precision is 0.0m - actual penetration.

My experiments seem to point this way. But, I want to see if I missed anything there.
I'm finally getting around to working on console games. And the 0.1m really messes up the scale of a game. But if I can get actual penetration from llVolumeDetect() then I should be able to hobble something together for these small closely packed game pieces.

Edit: Another question - when using llVolumeDetect() on a link set llDetectedLinkNumber() only seems to return 0 no matter which prim is penetrated. Is that right?

Yeah, that sounds about right to me.

I just tried this, and you're right. I bug-reported it. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that the Lindens added llVolumeDetect quite a while after the original llDetected* functions, and it was just never caught. (Though, for all I know, it's an deliberate part of the llVolumeDetect design.)
