function
Function syntax
integer llGetObjectPrimCount(
  1. key prim// UUID of the prim in the same region.
);
Returns
integer
Energy
10

Avatars sitting on the object are not counted1. Zero is returned if prim: (A) is not found, (B) is part of an attachment2, or (C) is not a prim.

Returns an integer that is the total number of prims in the object that contains prim.

How to use
integer result = llGetObjectPrimCount(NULL_KEY);

Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”
  • This cannot be used to detect if an avatar is seated (by checking for a non-zero return), use llGetAgentInfo instead.
  • The prim count for attachments are not returned. If possible use llGetNumberOfPrims instead.

Examples

Section titled “Examples”
Example 1
default
{
    touch_start(integer num)
    {
        integer prims = llGetObjectPrimCount(llGetKey());
        if (prims == 0)
        {
            // llGetObjectPrimCount returns zero for attachments.
            prims = llGetNumberOfPrims();
            // Avatars can't sit on attachments so this is ok.
