SensorRepeat detecting in other sims.

I noticed my Sensor sometimes returning results with a negative figure like <111.585381, -16.452423, 101.178810> .

Does this means it detected the person in the Sim due south. I thought it didnt detect beyond the current sim. Is this a usable feature, or is it a bug.

Assuming it has detected someone in another sim, is there a way to find out the adjoining Sim name. I can only find commands to return the current sim, or the plot owner.

Thanks

all of a sudden my scanners are returning data up to about 500m away ... it's cool, but I'm guessing a bug

Yes, is a bug. In all my sensors, I instruct the script to ignore ping of greater than 96m away and it solves the issue. In your sensor state add:

if(llVecDist(llGetPos(),llDetectedPos(x))<=96)
{ do stuff here }

And it will ignore these random pings.

Too bad it's a bug, I'd like them to run farther than 96m by design.
