is there anything wrong with the following bit of code.
CODE

collision_start(integer x)
{
    if(llDetectedType(0) == AGENT)
    {
        llSay(0, llDetectedName(0) + " has been hit.");
    }
}

llDetectedType(0) & AGENT
is preferable to
llDetectedType(0) == AGENT
, because llDetectedType will return a bitmask

Yep!

Try this instead..
CODE

collision_start(integer x)
{
    if(llDetectedType(0) & AGENT)
    {
        llSay(0, llDetectedName(0) + " has been hit.");
    }
}

I just changed the '==AGENT' to be '& ANGENT' because llDetectedType is a bitfield and I'm guessing you want to see if that one bit (AGENT) is set, not if that's the only one that's set..

See: http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llDetectedType

CODE
collision_start(integer x)
{
    if(llDetectedType(0) & AGENT)
    {
        llSay(0, llDetectedName(0) + " has been hit.");
    }
}

Thanks, I was unable to find the proper way to do that in the wiki and what I had definitely wasn't working.
