Collision events not working?

Evening all,

Anyone else having problems with collision events?

I noticed that one of my pre 1.5 scripts had stopped reacting to the ground. Played around but couldnt get it to work.

Tried a few simple prims with collision, collision_start and land_collision events in them, none work.

Did I miss something in the release notes?

Just tested it with this script:

default {
    collision(integer num_detected) {
        llSay(0, "collision");
    }
    
    collision_start(integer num_detected) {
        llSay(0, "collision_start");
    }
    
    collision_end(integer num_detected) {
        llSay(0, "collision_end");
    }
    
    land_collision_start(vector pos) {
        llSay(0, "land_collision_start");
    }
    
    land_collision_end(vector pos) {
        llSay(0, "land_collision_end");
    }
    
    land_collision(vector pos) {
        llSay(0, "land_collision");
    }

}

Bumping it produces collision_start, collision_end and collision events, so that is working.

Setting it phyhsical and dropping it on the ground produces only land_collision_start and land_collision_end events, not a single land_collision event.

So that seems to be bugged, but I don't know if it ever worked in 1.4 :)

Oh, and 1.5 caused some "stuck" scripts for me, which had to be recompiled to work again (resetting did nothing).

Ezhar,

Looks like you got the same results I did. After recompiling I got collision, collision_start and collision_end working.

land_collision_start and land_collision_end work but not land_collision. It did work, I had a number of scripts using it. Changing
them to land_collision_start got them going again.

I did actually get some land_collision events to trigger. I got a physical cube with an appropriate script in it and dragged it along the ground. Occationally, land_collision fired. I'd guess about once for evey thirty land_collision_start event triggered.

Bugreport it

I have noticed this as well. land_collision is firing very slow or not at all.
