Notes

Section titled “Notes”
  • Mass in Second Life is expressed as lindogram. One lindogram appears to be equal to 100 kilograms.
  • Mass for avatars is relative to shape/size and unaffected by attachments. However, avatar masses show less variation than expected relative to shape/size, and the lindogram masses do not appear realistic.
  • Sitting avatars add their mass to the object.
  • This function returns a mass of 0.01 for child agents.
  • Prior to server code version 1.18.6.76747, avatar mass was fixed at 1.954922 lindogram. It is now relative to avatar shape/size.
  • This function is a handy way to determine if an object or avatar still exists in a region. Other methods exist (such as checking that OBJECT_OWNER returned by llGetObjectDetails is a valid key), but this has slightly less overhead.
