I have a vehicle that will run a course through a series of gates. I want the vehicle to know when it has passed through a gate. The gates are phantom so a collision event doesn't occur. Any ideas how my vehicle can know when it has passed through a gate?

This function is what you're after:

This function is what you're after: llVolumeDetect From what I can gather that would work for the gates to detect the vehicle, is that right? I was hoping for a way for the vehicle to detect the gates. |

Or if the gates all have the same name, use a sensor to detect them and determine your location relative to the gates.

Messages are the best way. Just use llShout to be sure the car or whatever can't go out of range by the time the message executes (assuming fast vehicles and a laggy sim), and put the car's key into the message so it can confirm the message was for it and not another vehicle.

Thanks, I have followed your advise, putting the vehicles key and the gate number in the message. Works perfectly. |
