Comments

This command performs the simple operation: it touches the prim in-world. However, there are several limitations:

  • The distance. Bot view range is around 32 meters, so it may not see the object on the other side of the sim.

  • The load time. Bot loads its surroundings within a minute after teleporting. Thus, give it 1-2 minutes to load all nearby prims. However, after loading, all new nearby prims are being detected immediately.

Examples

Bot tries to touch the prim by UUID:

action=touch_prim&uuid=a6b4be6c-ca10-398f-846e-ea933cebfda2
