Question Kitchen Store - scripts

ok im using a scarecrow with a crow on its shoulder its 2 prims i have all the scripts and the notecards from the SF Storage Rack i then dropped them into the crow without the items EG the FS oranges and FS Honey or any of the other items im trying to make a single item storage out of it only to collect from crops/fields/trees then when the crops are ready i ADD STOCK from the menu it only holds 13 items before they don't show above the crows head, that is ok cause no fields have more then 13 items cause im using one scarecrow per field Set EG 1 for herb garden items ect ect and so on the problem is it will only read SENSOR Range 20 meters the most i can get it even if i put it to 96 meters in the Config notecard i didnt make this this is what they used in AVM Community farm it was given to me i just trying to work out how to make it scan the 96 meters

The only things I can think of why it doesn't scan for the range you set are:
(1) The scan will find the closest items that start with "SF " up to a maximum of 32 so if you have lots of objects called "SF something" close by that could be the issue. You can test by putting the scarecrow in an empty place and then try.
(2) The scan will only find objects that are in the same region, so if on the edge, for instance, it won't see anything in the next region even if really close.

yes i have tried it in a sand box with just one SF item and kept moving the item away until it couldn't find it and it could only find the object @ 21 meters no matter where i tried the range was only 15 to 21 meters. maybe there is another way for the sensor to search i don't know but i have been trying for months on this..... i have tried everything some time's when it in the middle of 100 crops you will see a item get collect 60 meters away but that was very rare..... i will leave a scarecrow @ your place if you like so you can see for your self.....

I have found the same thing...  I had fields, trees, etc, up to 90m away and it would only collect up to 21m, no matter what direction (up, down, left, right, etc.) 
Thank you Sharpened Razor and Buzzy.  I'll go work on it now and see how it works!  *crosses fingers*

Please do, either in the Learning area or the Workshop area in Mintor would be good.

Interesting to hear that people are finding this same issue with distance. The scripting is all pretty basic in that it just uses the standard sensor and uses a sphere as scanning type so is not dependant on the orientation of the object.  

Another (albeit obscure!) thing to check if you can is in the OpenSim.ini file for the region. There are settings in there to change how the sensor works and it may be they have got changed from their defult values:
