LlGetEnvironment

Function notes

If an unknown rule is encountered in the parameter list an error is sent to the debug channel.

Return value notes

Returns a list containing the current environment values for the parcel or region as a list of attributes. Takes a list of attributes to retrieve in params and returns them in the order requested.

Specification

LSL Function/color: {{LSL_Function/color|color}}

Parameters

parameter	integer value	return values	description
SKY_TRACKS	15	float sky2, float sky3, float sky4	Altitudes for sky transitions in the region.
SKY_AMBIENT	0	vector ambient_color	The ambient color of the environment.
SKY_TEXTURE_DEFAULTS	1	integer bloom_is_default, integer halo_is_default, integer rainbow_is_default	Checks if the textures are currently set to use the default. For default values, the returned integer is 1. If the texture uses something other than the default, the returned value is 0.
SKY_CLOUDS	2	vector `color`, float coverage, float scale, float variance, vector scroll, vector density, vector detail, integer is_default	Environmental cloud information. color: The color used for the clouds. coverage: The coverage percentage. scale: The scaling applied to the cloud textures. variance: A randomizing factor applied to the main cloud layer scroll: The scroll speed of the clouds. X is east/west Y is north/south Z is unused density: The X/Y and D parameter used to generate cloud density detail: The X/Y and D parameter used to generate cloud details. is_default: 1 if the clouds are using the default texture.
SKY_DOME	4	float offset, float radius, float max_altitude	Sky dome information. offset radius maximum altitude
SKY_GAMMA	5	float gamma	The gamma value applied to the scene. In viewer versions 7.0+, this value has been repurposed into the "HDR Scale" value in the EEP editor. (Thus, this will return the value of the HDR Scale slider).
SKY_GLOW	6	float glow_size, float glow_focus	Glow applied to the sun and moon. size of glow effect focus of glow effect
SKY_MOON	9	rotation `rot`, float scale, float brightness, integer is_default_texture, vector direction, vector ambient_color, vector diffuse_color	Detailed moon information rot: The current rotation applied to the moon. scale: The current scale applied to the moon's texture brightness: The moon's brightness is_default_texture: 1 if the moon texture is set to the default. 0 otherwise direction: A unit vector pointing at the moon. ambient_color: The ambient color of the moon diffuse_color: The diffuse color applied to the moon.
SKY_STAR_BRIGHTNESS	13	float brightness
SKY_SUN	14	rotation rot, float scale, vector sun_color, integer is_default_texture, vector direction, vector ambient_color, vector diffuse_color	Detailed sun information rot: The current rotation applied to the sun. scale: The current scale applied to the sun's texture sun_color: is_default_texture: 1 if the sun texture is set to the default. 0 otherwise direction: A unit vector pointing at the sun. ambient_color: The ambient color of the sun. diffuse_color: The diffuse color applied to the sun.
SKY_PLANET	10	float planet_radius, float sky_bottom_radius, float sky_top_radius	Planet information used in rendering the sky planet_radius sky_bottom_radius sky_top_radius
SKY_REFRACTION	11	float moisture_level, float droplet_radius, float ice_level	Sky refraction parameters for rainbows and optical effects. moisture_level droplet_radius ice_level
SKY_LIGHT	8	vector light_direction, vector fade_color, vector total_ambient	Miscellaneous lighting values light_direction: A unit vector indicating the direction of the dominant light source. fade_color: A `color` vector representing the current color of the light emitted from the dominant light source (in sRGB space). total_ambient: A `color` vector representing the current ambient color in use in the scene (in sRGB space).
SKY_REFLECTION_PROBE_AMBIANCE	24	float ambiance	Minimum ambiance value for all reflection probes. range = [0.0, 10.0] Caveat: This parameter will be supported in the upcoming GLTF Materials project. Currently it will only work in supported testing areas with a supported test viewer.
WATER_BLUR_MULTIPLIER	100	float multiplier	Multiplier applied to blur the scene when under water.
WATER_FOG	101	vector LSL Function/color: `{{LSL_Function/color\|color}}`, float density, float modulation	Fog parameters applied when underwater color: The color of the underwater fog density: Density exponent applied to the fog modulation:
WATER_FRESNEL	102	float offset, float scale	Fresnel scattering applied to the surface of the water. offset scale
WATER_TEXTURE_DEFAULTS	103	integer normal_is_default, integer transparent_is_default	Checks if the textures are currently set to use the default. For default values the returned integer is 1, if the texture uses something other than the default this value is 0.
WATER_NORMAL_SCALE	104	vector scale	Scaling applied to the water normal map.
WATER_REFRACTION	105	float scale_above, float scale_below	Refraction factors when looking through the surface of the water. scale_above scale_below
WATER_WAVE_DIRECTION	106	vector large_wave, vector small_wave	Vector for the directions of the waves Y represents north/south and X represents movement east/west. large_wave: Large wave speed and direction. small_wave: Small wave speed and direction.
ENVIRONMENT_DAYINFO	200	integer day_length, integer day_offset, float secs_since_midnight	Current time and day information day_length: Number of seconds in the environments day cycle. day_offset: Number of seconds day cycle is offset from GMT. secs_since_midnight: Number of seconds elapsed since the last day cycle midnight.

Caveats

If the script can not run in the requested parcel, this function returns an empty list and issues a warning in the debug channel.
SKY_LIGHT's param fade_color does not return a clamped value, meaning an unusually bright scene will cause it to return an out-of-bounds color. (This can be fixed by clamping the value manually, but this should really return a clamped value).

Examples

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        list environment = llGetEnvironment(llGetPos(), [SKY_TRACKS, SKY_AMBIENT, SKY_CLOUDS]);
        llOwnerSay(llDumpList2String(environment, ", "));
    }
}
