An "autotouch" function ?

[Faustnw]

Hi,
I have basic LSL skills even if I still have many things to learn. I'm making the first steps into HUDs. After some experimentations, I wonder whether is it possible to "touch" a prim with a HUD and not an avatar ? I searched on the Internet but I haven't any informations about this.

Thank you

Nope! Only avatars can trigger touch, touch_start or touch_end events.

But you could copy/link behaviour from touch into link_message/listen and trigger remotely that way.

I think you might be using the wrong event (touch is an event not a function), what I think you may be looking for is to detect a collision event, not a touch event, but still can't do that directly form a hud, only object to object or object to avatar.  Without knowing more about what your trying to do we can only guess.  Here are some link that might help.

To script you don't need to learn every thing, you just need to be able to reference it.
