avatar sit

[Rayne McAndrews]

is there a way to determine via hud attached to avatar if the avatar sits on something?

This something could be anything scripted or non and may or may not be owned by the avatar itself.

If you mean: Is there a way to detect if ab avatar sits (one always sits 'on' something), you can use llGetAgentInfo.

thanks,

 

i played with that a while and still couldnt get it to determine if and when the avatar wearing the hud is sitting.

I'm not too sure, what you really want - but tis simple example will tell you if the agent is sitting - on touch, that is

default {	touch_end(integer num_detected) {		if (llGetAgentInfo(llGetOwner()) & AGENT_SITTING) {			llSay(0, "Agent is sitting");		}	}}

yes i was trying to not use it on touch. it will be inside an avatar hud i pretty much need to know each time the avatar sits and stands. without touch

[Darkie Minotaur]

In that case, you will have do poll the state of the ava with a timer - there is no event that tells you, that an ava change inti a 'sitting state'

What's about an event?

Is there also a event to check if the avatar sit or doesn't sit anymore on a object? (without an timer?)

No.  The only events you have to work with in SL are the ones that are built into LSL.  You can't invent new types of events.  As Darkie said in this ancient thread, you can always run a timer event that polls llSetAgentInfo periodically to find out whether AGENT_ON_OBJECT is TRUE.  You can't do it without some kind of timer.

A script in the object can use the changed event to know if someone has sat down on it or stood up, and can send a message to that avatar's HUD to tell it what's happened.   But, other than that, you need to use a timer to check if the avatar is sitting or not.

That is quite correct.  To be clear, though, that will work only if the script is in the object that the avatar is sitting on.  It depends on testing
 

if (change & CHANGED_LINK){
    if (llAvatarOnSitTarget() ){
        //Avatar is sitting on this object
    }
}

The question that the OP asked in this thread was more general.

When the question is "Is my avatar sitting on anything?", you have no choice to but to poll llGetAgentInfo, and that implies some sort of timer.

You can also satisfy both the questions of "Am I sitting on an object?" and "What object am I sitting on?" with OBJECT_ROOT for llGetObjectDetails():

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetText("",ZERO_VECTOR,1.0);
        llSetTimerEvent(1.0);
    }
    on_rez(integer i)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    timer()
    {
        key k = llList2Key(llGetObjectDetails(llGetOwner(),[OBJECT_ROOT]),0);
        llSetText("You are " + llList2String(["sitting on an object named, '" + llKey2Name(k) + "'","NOT sitting on an object."],k == llGetOwner()),<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0);
    }
}
