llSensor does not detect objects I rez

[Badena Atheria]

I just found out that llSensor in a hud I am wearing does not detect objects I rezz, objects belonging to me, created by someone else. Sigh. Surprise, surprise. They are rezzed, not attached. The pages about llSensor dont tell. I probably belong to the species who should not do scripting but I would be very grateful if someone can tell me if that behavior of llSensor is known or if I am too [...fill in the blanks...] . Workarounds are welcome. llGetObjectDetails does not apply since it requires an UUID to sail in the sea of details, and every object is born with a fresh brand new ID which cannot be forseen. Thank you in advance for your comments

It depends on how the sensor is set up and what kind of objects you're rezzing.

Is your object physical? Scripted? Is the script actually doing stuff or idling?

Thank you Wulfie

I rezz an object <golf ball launcher> at my position, it is non-physical, phantom tho.

Sensor is  llSensor("", "", PASSIVE|SCRIPTED, 5.0, PI).

The workaround I just found is using llGetParcelPrimCount with PARCEL_COUNT_GROUP.

Try using just SCRIPTED instead of PASSIVE|SCRIPTED.

The wiki page might need some updating since the table doesn't really represent reality. For example, SCRIPTED|ACTIVE will detect certain nonphysical objects.

The wiki may be inaccurate in several instances because I made a thread about this issue last year. IIRC "PASSIVE" and "SCRIPTED" cannot be returned at the same time now since "PASSIVE" objects are considered unscripted (???). I've since started using functions like llGetObjectDetails() in combination with broader Sensor flags to distinguish objects between scripted, passive, and active as a result.
