Linden Water Collision?

How can I detect when my object hits linden water?

float above_water = llWater( ZERO_VECTOR );
is the height above water at the prims position.
Read all about it: http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llWater

timer()
{
integer water = llWater(ZERO_VECTOR);
if (llGround(ZERO_VECTOR) < water) // We're over water
{
vector my_pos = llGetPos();
if ( (my_pos.z - water) < 0.05 ) // Just over the surface
{
// Diving in!
}
else if ( (water - my_pos.z) < 0.05 ) // Just below the surface
{
// Emerging!
}
}

This (untested) timer event should theoretically tell you when the center of the prim becomes very close from the water surface. (It must be adapted to the size of your object.)

Anyways, that should be some food for your brain...

integer water = llWater(ZERO_VECTOR);

should be a float

float water = llWater(ZERO_VECTOR);

As for true collision, you can't. You could approximate with the object's scale or bounding box, but there's no equivalent of the collision or land_collision events for water.

You could also fake it in a specific area by putting a volume detect box at water height, but that's a pretty limited option, of course.

Kinda weird...I asked this four months ago and it got answered then.

I forgot the forums were here only for you... Okay everyone, we can stop now, asked and answered... LOL

Oops! Necromancy, and I didn't even notice. Quick! Someone get out the holy water!

"And thou shalt raise the grenade over thy head, and count thee to 5. Not to 6 shalt thou count, nor unto 4 shalt thou count, unless thou countest immediately on to 5."



(Slight paraphrase...!)

Once the number five, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

so any examples of that script please!
