llDetectedVel

vector llDetectedVel(integer Number)

Returns the velocity of the detected object Number.

Returns<0.0, 0.0, 0.0> if Number is not a valid offset.

Parameters

Number (integer)

Technical Details

Return Type: vector
Energy: 10

Tells the name and velocity of all nearby avatars:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        // Scan once for avatars within a 96 metre radius sphere
        llSensor("", "", AGENT, 96, PI);
    }
    sensor(integer num)
    {
        // num will initially be 1 or more. When num is 1, the index of the detected avatar will be zero
        while(num--)
        {
            llOwnerSay(llDetectedName(num) + " is moving at " + (string)llVecMag(llDetectedVel(num)) + " m/s.");
        }
    }
}

Notes

Returns ZERO_VECTOR (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) if the number parameter is not a valid detected object or avatar
This function is typically used within sensor event handlers after detecting objects or avatars with llSensor()
