16 Objects
August 16, 2009
llSensor returns 16 objects. No more, and less only if fewer than 16 are in range.
There are blessed few places in SL that you can go where you will find fewer than 16 objects!
So, here’s an idea:
Make a Skybox object. That’s 1! Put it up out of range of other people’s builds.
Now, make the most interesting and accessible place you can–for both Sighted and Blind users!–with just 15 other objects. Prim count is not so much an issue here, but what can you make with 15 things? Remember: an object is just prims linked together. The Guide doesn’t see prims, it sees one object, and reports back on it.
Right now, it couldn’t be a store, because Vendor Objects don’t work with the available tech. Some other builds might be similarly without use at this time.
What can you make?
llSensor may only return the closest 16 objects but there are hacks around that, if you can get a hold of her I would suggest talking with Heather Goodliffe, I know she was working on a few hacks with sensor back in 2006.
