Detect user Edit of object?

[Domitan Redenblack]

Is there a reliable way (yet) of detecting whether a user has Editted an object?

For example: Using the Viewer object Edit to remove an item from contents?

The only way I can tthink of is to store the values you want to track and in certain intervals check them against the current values. This is not really an edit check but rather a change check.

In this specific case, I think the script could get a CHANGED_INVENTORY event, so it wouldn't have to sample at intervals.

(There's a messy complexity even for this simple case, where a CHANGED_INVENTORY event would fire for the insertion of a script, which script would then remove the target contents without generating a changed() event.)

Anyway, the script couldn't tell who, specifically, made the change -- although in practice that may not matter because, except for shared-with-group items, only the object owner is permitted to make such changes (and anybody else the owner has authorized to change their stuff).

I have a "change" event handler, and look for CHANGED_INVENTORY, but it does not trigger when I delete an item from the Contents of the object, nor does it trigger when I stop editting.

changed event indeed would not trigger when a user starts or stops object editing but it will always trigger on content removal and /or addition. It would even trigger if the content permissions are changed. There are no miracles in the SL world, if the event does not trigger the problem is in your code. For instance if a script is changing states, changed event must be included in every state.

Yes, you are right. Not sure why it did not do it the first times I tried it. Perhaps scripts needed to be reset 10 times or some such, or LL servers were slow, etc

Works fine now. When you add or remove contents, the event is triggered fine.
