Detect if you have been targeted by a script..

[Dillon MacMoragh]

Is there a way to detect if you have been targeted by a script?  I'm playing some of the combat games in SL and people have follen into using followers quite a lot to make sure they win.  Would be great to find a way to detect this.

 

Thanks

Nope.

The only way I can think of is that a script has to be in a prim to work, however the prim might be transparent/invisible.  Turn on Highlight Transparent and see if there is a prim that follows you around that isn't attached to your avatar.  If you see one, click it and go to edit to find out who owns it.

A "follower" doesn't even have to follow you.  You can write a simple script with llGetAgentList and llGetObjectDetails that wil tell you where anyone in the sim is, how fast they're moving, and the UUID of the root prim of the vehicle they are in, among other things --- all without needing to follow anyone or use a sensor.

About the only time one would need to have a prim actually follow an avatar around any more, would be for a chat bug. These can be made too small to see even with highlight transparent, you're really stuck with sensors, area searches, and various viewer debug displays to find them at all.

lGetObjectDetails got rid if the need for proximity sensors to track targets, and llGetAgentList took away the need to use them for initial acquisition. llSetRegionPos, and predecessors like the WarpPos and PosJump hacks, made it possible to deliver earth shattering kabooms with no warning at all.

Remember too that common viewer features make avatar tracking, and dashing or teleporting to them, accessible to anyone.

Well i would use llsensor to detect a foreign object around me, much like a agent scanner would do. Just set for detecting prims.. Might be better methods tho like you described here..

Sure you can make a periodic scanner (via llSensorRepeat() method) which would scan for an object with a specific name within let's say a 5m sphre around your avatar. If that object is being detected while you're moving around the sim it is a follower.
