Detect upon collision if avatar has oject attached

[naughtyniece]

Hi,

I have a prim on the floor and i can detect collision_start to tell me the avatar as stepped on it. However i would like to detect if the avatar has an object (a broom) attached to their left hand.

I found this but do not understand how to place it in a script

integer isObjectAttachedToAvatar( key object, key avatar ){
    return
      !llGetObjectPrimCount( object ) &    //-- must be attached to someone
      (llGetOwnerKey( object ) == avatar); //-- must be owned by the same person
}

My script detects collision and starts and animation, but i only want that to happen IF they have the broom attached.

collision_start(integer count)
     {
          key avatar = llDetectedKey(0);
            
            displayName = llGetDisplayName(avatar);
            if (avatar) llRequestPermissions (avatar, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
            else llStopAnimation (animation);
        }

Also i would ideally like it not to ask if they wish to animate... but thats a seperate question i guess.

 

Thank you for your help

Better to ask this one in the Scripting Forum!

I agree that the Scripting Forum is probably the best place to ask this.

However, since we're here, let's take a look!   

You need to be a bit clearer, I think, about why you want to know if someone has a broom attached.   The newish function llGetAttachedList  will be a help if that's all you need to know, but if you want to know because you want to animate them, would it be possible to put the animation in the broom and have the collision prim use llRegionSayTo(avatar, someChannel,"Sweep!); ? That way, any attachment the avatar is wearing that's listening on someChannel will hear the command.   

That has the advantage that scripts in attachments can ask for, and automatically be granted, permission to animate the avatar without bothering with a dialog.
