llDetectedType

integer llDetectedType(integer Number)

Returns the type (AGENT, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, SCRIPTED) of detected object.

Returns 0 if number is not a valid index.

Note that number is a bit-field, so comparisons need to be a bitwise checked. e.g.:

integer iType = llDetectedType(0);

{

// ...do stuff with the agent

}

Parameters

Number (integer)

Technical Details

Return Type: integer
Energy: 10

Type and Name of Collision Source

default {
    collision_start(integer vIntCollided) {
        integer vBitType;
        string vStrType;
        do {
            vBitType = llDetectedType(--vIntCollided);
            if (vBitType & AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME)
                vStrType = "avatar";
            else
                vStrType = "object";
            llOwnerSay("An " + vStrType + " named '" + llDetectedName(vIntCollided) + "' collided with me");
        }
        while (vIntCollided);
    }
}

This example loops through all detected collisions and determines whether each collision source is an avatar or an object. It uses bitwise AND (&) to check if the AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME flag is set in the type field.

Notes

The return value is a bit field, so you must use bitwise operators (&) for comparisons
Returns 0 if the number parameter is not a valid detected object index
Use constants like AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME, AGENT_LIST, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, and SCRIPTED to check the type bits
