Okay, I've been working on a project that requires me to split up a circle into twelve arcs (and by arc, I mean section of a circle stretching from the exact middle to the very edge). I need the script to understand/reply when someone has clicked inside of an arc. How could I go about doing this, without chopping off the edge of the circle? I want my detection to be fully on the circle, and not on an inscribed dodecagon.
To sum it all up, I'm basically asking how to "bend a line".
Any help would be VERY much appreciated.

Maybe use llDetectedTouchUV with lots of conditional if statements to define the limits of the wedge? Getting a bit too mathematical/geometric for me to think about in detail.  |

I was thinking about that, but if that's what I *have* to do.. I'll just slice it off, and warn people. =P

use a cylinder(top/bottom)? that'll only return results inside the circle, then you can use llAtan2 to figure out the angle of the touch from center which will tell you what slice it's in. the logic depends on how many slices you have and where they're centered.
suggested requirements
cylinder sliced to .49/.51 with a minimal z size, llDetectedTouchST (offset by -.5,-.5), and llAtan2 to get your circular angle. probably a texture that makes it easy too.

nah it's easy to get too close to a problem.... I've seen some scary solutions that would have worked for some some things when a simple solution was available... finesse is sometimes a lit harder than it looks
