Currently, on the main grid, the checkbox "Allow Damage", when checked, enables damage for the entire region, regardless of individual parcel settings, and allows individual parcels to enable damage (by unchecking "Safe") when unchecked. I propose that this override checkbox be changed to a dropdown menu with the following options:
  • Always on
  • Use parcel settings (default)
  • Always off (new option)
This would both reduce the confusion we had during the recent Combat Community User Group meeting and provide an additional override to estate managers who need to quickly pause or end combat activity, without changing the setting of every parcel individually.
Additionally, having this setting exposed as a
llGetEnv
variable such as "allow_damage_override" would be very helpful, as I know that some scripts read parcel flags to check if damage is enabled, but they are unable to determine if damage is enabled at the region level.
