RLV Attach mesh item from inventory

[Shandi Varriale]

I've read through some searches and and discovered that I need to use RLV to attach an object from my inventory and I need some guidance on this please.

Basically I want to simply click on a hud I've created that launches a script that takes specified inventory items and attaches them to my avatar, such as clothing, hair, and other bits based on whatever hud I click on. This is so I dont have to dig down into my awful inventory and keep manually attaching/detaching objects I frequently use.

I found this attachment info, but dont know where to start with RLV and LSL: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlAttachToAvatar

I also found this handy tool in the MP, but I think it is overkill for my simple needs as I just have 2 or 3 objects I frequently take on and off: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/EF-3-Mesh-Outfitter/9924463?

Any help very much appreciated!

If you're using RLV to attach items, forget about llAttachToAvatar.   That's for attaching objects that are already rezzed in world.

You need to be using RLV's Shared Folders protocol.    Basically this means setting up a main folder. #RLV,  in your inventory and then setting up various sub-folders inside that to hold particular outfits and parts of outfits.   Nalates Urriah has an intro here about how to do it http://blog.nalates.net/2016/06/27/second-life-tutorial-rlv-mesh-and-folders-how-it-works-how-to-use/5/ and Marine Kelley, who makes the RLV viewer, has a lengthy two part tutorial on shared folders here: http://realrestraint.blogspot.com/2008/08/objects-sharing-tutorial.html

Once you've read those, and set up your #RLV folder and some subfolders, then you use the various RLV-specific commands to attach and detach the contents of the shared folders, as listed here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/RestrainedLifeAPI#Clothing_and_Attachments_.28Shared_Folders.29
