Click to touch
Feature Design Document
(none)
Functional Spec
- An object can be designated a touchable object by adding a script that has a touch* event in it, such as the default script does.
- You touch an object by left clicking it while in move mode (ctrl + 2) or in normal mode (ie. if you hit escape, or by right clicking the object, then selecting "touch" from the pie menu.
- Your cursor should turn into a hand icon when you hover it over an object that has a touch* event script on it.
- Touch events will not register if you are in focus(ctrl+1), edit(ctrl+3), create(ctrl+4) or land(ctrl+5) mode.
- Alpha texturing on an object does not affect whether it can be touched. Objects with fully transparent textures will still register clicks.
- You can change the left-click behavior of an object on the general tab of the edit tools.
- "Touch/grab (default)"
- "Sit on object" will cause anyone clicking the object to sit on the object.
- "Buy object" will pop up a buy dialog if the object is for sale.
- "Pay object" will pop up a buy dialog if the object has a money event in one of its scripts.
- "Open" will open the contents of an object if you have permissions to modify said object.
- Touch allows you to move objects.
- Touching an object should trigger any touch events on the object.
- Touching and dragging your own object that has touch script and is not physical should NOT move it, even if you have the move tool (ctrl-2) selected.
- Touching and dragging on an object, then releasing should put your cursor back to the same screen coordinates they were at when you first touched the object.
- (you cannot drag a physical and movable object by dragging on a child prim if either the root or child prim has a touch script in it. bug?)
