"Your attachments contain too much inventory to add more."

[Jennifer Boyle]

I recently encountered this message for the first time when attempting to add an attachment. The attachment contained two scripts and an animation.

Can someone tell me about how contents of attachments work and the rules and limits for them?

Check ALL of your attachments.

"Your attachments contain too much inventory to add more." is triggered when the total inventory of all your attachments tries to go over 30,000.

Here is a script you can save in a cube and click to get your current total attachment inventory count:

Quote

default
{
    touch_end(integer i)
    {
        if (llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner())
        {
            llOwnerSay("You attachment's total inventory count is " + llList2String(llGetObjectDetails(llGetOwner(),[OBJECT_TOTAL_INVENTORY_COUNT]),0) + ".");
        }
    }
}

And here is one you can use to monitor the change on a timer:

Quote

integer last_count;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        last_count = llList2Integer(llGetObjectDetails(llGetOwner(),[OBJECT_TOTAL_INVENTORY_COUNT]),0);
        llOwnerSay("Your attachment's total inventory count is " + (string)last_count + ".");
        llSetTimerEvent(2.0);
    }
    on_rez(integer i)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    timer()
    {
        integer count = llList2Integer(llGetObjectDetails(llGetOwner(),[OBJECT_TOTAL_INVENTORY_COUNT]),0);
        if (count != last_count)
        {
            llOwnerSay("Your attachment's total inventory count has changed from " + (string)last_count + " to " + (string)count + ".");
            last_count = count;
        }
    }
}

Thanks for the info and the scripts, Lucia.

I tried the scripts. When I attached the object that contains two scripts, one animation, and nothing else, mt attachments' total inventory count went up by over 10,000.

What's going on that when I attach an object containing only three items, the count goes up that much?

Did you check the inventory of linked prims of that object as well? (edit-linked and there should be little left and right arrows to step through each linked prim in a linkset in the build menu)

That was it. One of the child prims had a lot of contents. It was still loading after five minutes.

Thanks for helping me understand.

How does this affect performance?

That'd be a question for @Lucia Nightfire or someone else, but I'd suspect worse region crossings for you when you have a lot of attachment inventory, and slightly bigger "lag-spikes" for regions that you enter.
