The Linden Vehicle Tutorial says that VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT is limited to 100 meters. Fortunately I didn’t remember this and I just flew my balloon-type vehicle up over 300 meters. Is this a new feature? Can I count on this working? Should we update the Wikis?

hover height delay
06-01-2009 16:47
Separate question: When my vehicle has a zero velocity, setting the VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT has no effect. Then as soon as I set the VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION to anything (even to <0,0,0>  my balloon suddenly wakes up and goes to the height I set it to. (Sort of like Wiley Coyote suddenly noticing that he is standing over thin air). I think it is a reasonable behavior to allow a balloon to rise or fall without moving sideways. Must I always make a dummy call to set the VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION in order to make sure my hover height changes? |

Should we update the Wikis? depends... is it hovering at that height, or is it just piloted to that height...and what's the buoyancy? as for the other question... no clue.
