Constants

Constant	Type	Value	Description
ACTIVE	integer	0x2	Objects running a script or physically moving (using server resources). In llDetectedType(), it identifies physical objects and agents. In llSensor() or llSensorRepeat(), it searches for moving physical objects or scripted objects.
AGENT	integer	0x1	Agents (avatars). In llDetectedType, it indicates an avatar. In llSensor or llSensorRepeat, it searches for avatars by legacy name (functionally identical to AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME, though using AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME is recommended instead).
AGENT_BY_LEGACY_NAME	integer	0x1	Used to find agents by legacy name. In llDetectedType, it indicates an avatar. In llSensor or llSensorRepeat, it searches for avatars by legacy name.
AGENT_BY_USERNAME	integer	0x10	Used to find agents by username (see Avatar Names).
DAMAGEABLE	integer	0x20	Identifies objects in the world that can process damage. In llDetectedType, it indicates a damageable agent, or an object containing a script with on_damage or final_damage events. Can also filter llSensor/llSensorRepeat calls.
PASSIVE	integer	0x4	Identifies static or non-moving in-world objects (which do not consume active server resources). In llDetectedType(), indicates non-physical objects. In llSensor()/llSensorRepeat() filters, searches for non-physical, non-scripted, inactive, or non-moving physical objects.
SCRIPTED	integer	0x8	Identifies scripted in-world objects. In llDetectedType(), indicates the target has at least one active script. In llSensor()/llSensorRepeat() filters, searches for objects containing active scripts that are currently running.

Used by

• llSensorfunctionPerforms a single scan from the prim's forward vector for name and id of type within radius meters and arc radians. Results trigger a sensor or no_sensor event. Passing empty filters (blank name, 0 type, or NULL_KEY id) disables that filter.
• llSensorRepeatfunctionSets up a repeating periodic scan every rate seconds for name and id of type within radius meters and arc radians of the forward vector. Results trigger sensor or no_sensor events.
