LSL How to detect the event of rez but not attached to avatar?

[robotommy]

I'm looking for the way to trigger only when the object is rezzed in world but not attached to avatar.

Is there any smart way to implement this?

Hi robotommy,

It's been ages since I've scripted, but that won't stop me from making something up.

"on_rez" fires whether the item is rezzed on the ground or as an attachment. After "on_rez" fires, "attach" will fire if the thing is attached. The delay from on_rez() to attach() should be fairly short, so start a timer with on_rez() and if it times out before attach(), you've got the condition you're looking for. If attach() happens before the timeout, it can cancel the timer.

Maybe something like...

on_rez(){
    llSetTimerEvent(0.5); // figure out the shortest delay that won't expire before attach() happens, if it happens.
}

attach(){
    llSetTimerEvent(0);
}

timer(){
    llSay(0,"I'm rezzed!");
}

Good luck!

Quite simply, write your on_rez event with a test to see if the object is attached.  Then send a status message to let you know the result.

 

on_rez(integer start_param){    llSleep(0.5); // Just in case it doesn't attach instantly    integer IsAttached = (llGetAttached() > 0);  // TRUE if attached, FALSE otherwise    llOwnerSay( llList2String(["Object NOT attached"],["Object IS attached"],IsAttached) );}
