[Opensim-dev] touch_start in linked prims

[Melanie]

Hello,

in fact, OpenSim duplicates the SecondLife touch behavior exactly. 
In SecondLife, all prims are touchable when the root prim is.

Please log into SecondLife and verify that. A great many objects, 
including multipanel vendors, light switches, etc, depend on this 
behavior.

If the root prim has a touch_start event, all prims become 
touchable. All touches are passed to the root prim, unless the 
touched child also has a touch_start handler, in which case the 
touch is handled locally.

If only a child prim has a touch_start event, only that child prim 
is "hot". This is exact SL behavior. If a child prim is touched, 
llDetectedLinkNumber() can be used to determine which child prim was 
touched.

In Second Life, this doesn't happen as only the root prim with the touch_start handler is hot.
