In the current design to find out if damage is enabled on a parcel you have to check both llGetRegionFlags and llGetParcelflags to get a definite answer. Is there any use whatsoever to returning values that are inaccurate? |

Inaccurate? One gets the parcel settings, the other the region settings... it's not inaccurate to say that a parcel's damage flag is off in a damaged enabled region.

Having to go through a whole extra check just for the region has no purpose and adds extra pointless complication.
I can think of no use for the way this is currently designed. The damage setting returns nothing of value without also referring to llGetRegionFlags, it is being overridden and should reflect this. |

It can be confusing yes, but it's hardly useless. If you want to know what a parcel is set to, then you can
 It also has a few values that aren't affected by region anyway. While I agree that a function that returned the flags that are in effect for a piece of land would be nice, it's not hugely difficult to check both. _____________________

Really I'm just annoyed because I wasn't aware that you would get a conflict between what Parcel and Region would tell you.
