Setting Mesh Face Order for llDetectedTouchFace with Textures and Materials

[OldVamp]

In Blender and maybe other programs the face order of meshes is set alphabetically.

To get faces with llDetectedTouchFace() in scripts in the order you want, name your materials and maybe even textures alphabetically such as :

Quote

aa red
ab orange
ac yellow
ad green
ae blue
af indego
ag violet
ah white

DO NOT use numbers for the material names to set the order as blender seems to strip them off in the collada file and your faces will be out of order using the first letter of the material name.

Quote

1 red
2 orange
3 yellow

While having the order exact is not super critical for scripts or scripting, it can lower the amount of mental gymnastics you have to do when things are in the expected order.
