Question on dropping Items on Prims

[Wandering Soulstar]

Hi All!

 

I have a question, that I am afraid I know the answer to, but I thought I'd ask just in case. I have a linkset of Prims, and I would like to allow users to drop certai items onto it. I understand all about llAllowInventoryDrop and the like, but my 'problem' is that I would like this drop to occur on a prim that is not Root ... but anything that gets dropped, goes to the root, not the child prim that I want it to go to.

Is there anyway to 'fix' this, other than coding something up that moves the item from the root to the child prim?

 

Thanks in advance!

No, there isn't, but code to make the transfer is easy enough.

default{    changed(integer change)    {        if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY)        {            integer i =llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_OBJECT) ;            while (i)            {                --i;                string Name = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT,i);                llGiveInventory(llGetLinkKey(2),Name);  //Move object to link 2                llRemoveInventory(Name);  //Delete object from root inventory            }        }    }}

 Well, easy except that it won't move no-copy items.  You'll have to raise a flag to remind you to move those manually.  I think no-trans items are OK, though.  I can't pop in world to test right now.

Here's a version that includes the "no-copy" flag I mentioned above.

default{    changed(integer change)    {        if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY)        {            integer i =llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_OBJECT) ;            while (i)            {                --i;                string Name = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT,i);                integer OPerms = llGetInventoryPermMask(Name,MASK_OWNER);                if ((OPerms & PERM_COPY) == PERM_COPY)                {                    llGiveInventory(llGetLinkKey(2),Name);  //Move object to link 2                    llRemoveInventory(Name);  //Delete object from root inventory                }                else                {                    llOwnerSay("The object named " + Name + " cannot be copied. You will need to move it manually.");                }            }        }    }}

Thanks Rolig ... have already written the copy routines, more complicated for a number of reasons, will just have to move my copy controller to the root prim <sigh>.
