having said that, it would still be quite useful to have that data also avaiable to scripts, the sim already knows it, and keeps sending to all clients, why not make it avaiable to scripts as well? _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
