HOW: Detect left-mouse in another avatar

[Restless Swords]

i have a scripted object (a huntable animal) that can detect if a hunter avator is closeby, and if that avatar is in mouselook. 

Is there anyway to detect if it has left-mouse down?  I know how to do it for my own avatar/attachments (for shooting weapons etc) but how can i tell if an opponent avatar has his left-mouse down (is firing) ?

I belive you have to  use llRequestPermission and take key board controlls so they have to agree to let your script know your waiting for it.

Does the hunter have to click on the prey animal? If so, you can simply use the touch_start event in the prey script. llDetectedKey(0) returns the key of the hunter. If the script is in the root prim, it also detects when a child prim is clicked.

Nope, the other avatar will not generally allow the animal objects to take control permission

Nope, the avatar hunter does not click on the animated animals, but collision and/or sensor *will* give me their key.

- The problem is, given a key, can i determine if they have left-moust down (weaons active) ?

- i know how to determine if they are in mouselook, but *NOT* how to check left-mouse.

 

It looks like there is no way for an object to simply "observe" this fact about an opponent avatar.
