llCastRay - Detect phantom, filter flexible?

[Paul Hexem]

Is there no way to check if an object is flexible on detection? Looks like PRIM_FLEXIBLE is only available to GetPrimitiveParams?

i haven't played with castray for a while but any prim set to FLEXIBLE is also forced to PHANTOM. So RC_DETECT_PHANTOM would/should also detect FLEXIBLE prims. Having detected them ,then could further interrogate the list of results with GetPrimitiveParams to distinguish FLEXIBLE as well when needed

llGetPrimitiveParams is local only, only works in the prim the script is in.

true this

pretty much then left with llGetObjectDetails and get some other identifying details like a text tag in OBJECT_DESC assuming that you are the one making the flexible object to be detected

ps add. OBJECT_FLEXIBLE would be a candidate for a feature request
