[BUG-231634] [Feature Request] llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_HOVER_HEIGHT

[sl-service-account]

Information

Attn: Rider or Vir

If you have any spare time please consider prioritizing the addition of the following constant to llGetObjectDetails():

OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_HOVER_HEIGHT which points to ID # 11001, the "hover" parameter in a user's body shape data.

This should be the easiest thing to add since we already have OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_TYPE which points to ID # 80, the "male" parameter.

The alternative name OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_HOVER would also be acceptable.

I would be eternally grateful if this could be offered Soon™. ;)

Thanks in advance.

Other Information

We currently have no way to determine what amount of body hover height is in use and this value easily hits the 1.1 to 2.45 bounds reported by llGetAgentSize() which also isn't seen by ray casts or querying mass.

We have access to the UI slider value with OBJECT_HOVER_HEIGHT, which can add +/- 2 meters on top of the effects of the body hover slider value which is an additional +/- 2 meters, but currently cannot be read.

Lack of access is negatively affecting my products, particularly worn Animesh companions.

I was not aware that people prefer this hover height value over the UI hover height slider until I was made aware of it by several users.

Apparently I was not aware or completely forgot that, unlike the UI hover slider, the effects of the body hover slider are lost when a user sits, making it more ideal than having to adjust the UI hover slider every time one sits.

I was unaware because I never used it before and only used the UI hover height slider, but now I'm reconsidering.

Is OBJECT_HOVER_HEIGHT already a supported param, for the +/- 2m value? Or are you getting that some other way?

We might need to tweak the name for the shape param to reduce confusion of an already confusing situation, but seems like a good idea.

@Vir

OBJECT_HOVER_HEIGHT reads the viewer UI hover height value, not the body Hover Height slider value.

The viewer controlled value does not modify the body shape Hover Height value, It adds +/- 2m on top of what the body Hover Height slider value outputs.

This means an avatar can have an actual +/- 4m hover height range, but only half of that can be seen by scripts.

Here is a video of me setting body shape hover to max for +2 meters, then changing the viewer slider for another +2 meters:

Thank you for this suggestion. We may implement some version of this at a future date.

This has now extended to a request for access to all sliders that affect user height.

Here are proposed constants and target skeleton ids:

OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_HEIGHT(33), OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_TORSO_LENGTH(38), OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_HEEL_HEIGHT(198), OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_PLATFORM_HEIGHT(503), OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_HEAD_SIZE(682), OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_LEG_LENGTH(692), OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_NECK_LENGTH(756), OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_HIP_LENGTH(842), OBJECT_BODY_SHAPE_HOVER_HEIGHT(11001)

Reported output is the normalized 8 bit internal value for each, not the decimal internal value.

Use cases entail:

• Calculate the same height as shown in Edit Appearance w/ or w/o usage of hover height.
• Calculate user height before/during sitting if hover height, platform height and/or heel height is present due to the visual effects of these being lost upon sitting.
• Calculate what additional height worn rigged mesh is having on the avatar, which currently is not reported in Edit Appearance.
• Calculate Pelvis attach point height from ground while standing and AV Center attach point height from ground while standing.
