Delete The Object When Land Is Purchased

[queenkhaleesi]

Hi, what's the best way to delete the rezzed object when the parcel is purchased by others. I was planning to create the script using timer then checks the parcel owner everytime. But I guess there is another best way on doing it. :)

A timer that checks llGetParcelDetails(llGetPos(),PARCEL_DETAILS_OWNER) once every 15 minutes or so will certainly do it, and it's quick and easy to write.  You could also put hover text or a texture on the object that says, "New Owner, please click here to delete me."

default{    touch_start(integer num)    {        key NewOwner = llList2Key(llGetParcelDetails(llGetPos(),PARCEL_DETAILS_OWNER),0);        if (llDetectedKey(0) == NewOwner)        {            llSay(0,"Thank you!");            llDie();        }    }}

You don't say if the land in question is owned by you and land you are selling
If it is the easiest way to remove your objects is to sell land and keep ownership of objects

If you have transfer permission on the object, then selling the land with contents will trigger a CHANGED_OWNER event in all the objects that transfer to the new owner, so a script could use that in a changed() event handler to know when to call llDie(), thus tidying-up instantly and without relying on a return by the new owner.

That sounds technically correct.  However - the idea of selling land with contents and scripting those contents to vanish upon sale.... dats not right is it?   I mean morally the script would have issues.

I suppose, but an issue would only arise if the contents were something the new owner would actually want. Usually it's just a glorified "For Sale" sign and some throw-away landscaping, or at least that was my assumption here because the seller is intent on tidying it up once the sale is complete.

Also, in reality, it's very tricky to buy land with contents included even if both parties really want that and stand around during the sale trying to make it happen. That's because it's just so easy for a little no-transfer kruft to be hidden away inside. (That's why I started out with the "transfer permission" caveat.)

Thanks Qie.  I'd never really thought through how the sale with contents was intended to work.
