llGetMassMKS

float llGetMassMKS()

Acts as llGetMass(), except that the units of the value returned are Kg.

Technical Details
  • Return Type: float
  • Energy: 10
// Reports an object's mass in Lindograms and Kilograms.
default
{
    touch_start()
    {
        llSay(0, "My weight in Lindograms: " + (string)llGetMass() + "\nMy weight in Kilograms: " + (string)llGetMassMKS());
    }
}

Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”
  • Attachments do not affect an avatar’s mass, only certain Appearance settings.
  • Avatar mass is reported to either be unexpectedly low (when measured using llGetMass) or unexpectedly high (when measured using llGetMassMKS). This is likely due to the weight being calculated based on a fixed value, with a modifier for height. The fixed value being used is incorrect, likely due to an incorrect density value being used.

Notes

Section titled “Notes”
  • The Kilogram value seems to be the Lindogram value (reported by llGetMass()) multiplied by 100.
  • MKS as used in the name of this function is likely a reference to the MKS system of units (Meter, Kilogram, Second), which form the base of SI units (with some minor differences).
