// :NAME:Sensor to delete or start a NPC
// :AUTHOR:Fred Beckhusen (Ferd Frederix)
// :KEYWORDS:Game, Sensor
// :REV:1.0
// :WORLD:OpenSim
// :DESCRIPTION:
// A part of a controller set for NPC's
// When an avatar gets near this (75 meters, a looong way, it sends a @pause command to the controller. This will make it continue from an @stop.
// when no one is araound, it sends a @delete to remove the NPC. It sends these once per avatar presence.

// :CODE:

float distance = 75;    // keep this distance short - in my case, we are on a broad plain and we need to notice the avatar from a long distance, but not often.
float time = 30;        // keep this long.   

// toggle if a person is there or not so we can detect the edge condition
integer isperson = FALSE;
