llGetObjectMass

This doesn't appear to be a valid function, however if you search the wikki for the word 'mass' you can read all about it. I am looking for a way to return the mass of an object detected with llSensorRepeat or collision_start. I could then use this along with the velocity to apply the correct amout of opposing force to create an affective force field. Not being able to determine the mass, my field either doesn't work for large objects, or it pelts small object right off the world.

I have read that some objects actually have negative mass so, perhaps this function was decided to be useless as any calculations involving negative mass would not return the desired value. Despite this fact, I think I could still use this function and just do some experimentation an find out how much positive mass an object with negative mass should have, and treat it accordingly (that is assuming the mass figures are at least consitent among themselves).

Any information on the subject of mass and/or the llGetObjectMass function would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think its suppose to be in 1.6 which is only in preveiw atm. sry

Thanks guys. I'll try using llGetBoundingBox for now.
