Description

« Hide

Collisions have a huge impact on performance, and usually processing of collisions are left up to the collision events rather than being ignored at the server.

Currently you can only filter out a single name or ID key - you cannot exclude other types. Add:

llCollisionTypeFilter(integer type, integer status)

where type=AGENT,SCRIPTED,ACTIVE and status=TRUE/FALSE

Also independent of llMinEventDelay() please add:

llCollisionEventRate(float rate)

would also help cut down high rate collisions.

These'd both be very useful. In some kinds of scripts, having to do this kind of filtering in LSL can mean that the event queue gets filled and events get dropped.
