A small but important distinction... it's not every object in the sim, it's something more like "every object that's kind of close by". I tried to write a client side feature that would gather a list of all scripted objects in a sim, and the wall I ran into was that the viewer is completely ignorant of the existence of up to half the objects in a sim, and has no way of asking for information on them. -Jason _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
