Temp attachment for MLPV2 system

[Suki Hirano]

Does anyone know how to get the MLPV2 pose system to run a specific script when a menu button is clicked? It's definitely possible because I heard from someone they managed to run a particle script when certain poses are selected (but no more info was given).

I'm trying to get a temp attachment popup to appear when certain poses are selected, instead of rezzing a stationary prop, for example like a fork or something, so people don't have to manually accept and attach/detach props themselves every time a pose is switched. The script to request attaching a temp attachment is quite easy itself as per the wiki, but I'm not sure how to trigger it with MLPV2. It must be something similar to the item giver plugin?

 

LINKMSG MyButtonName | 1,-4,987789,NamesOfObjectToOffer##MsgToPerson

 

LINKMSG seems to be the prefix to add to a pose config notecard that triggers an external script, but I'm lost otherwise.

Thanks.

to attatch a prop to an avi when the menu button is selected,

to run a script when a button is selected you could send a linkmessage,

or use a listen,

or turn the other script on / off

It's not as simple as that as MLPV2 is an entire pose menu system, editing the engine script would be too complex

I'm not sure MLPV2 is still actively supported by its users, but if so, that may be a better place to inquire about something so specific. I imagine somebody must have done this already, for things like cuffs if nothing else.

I suppose the overall structure for doing this with MLPV2 would be something like:

• a script embedded in the to-be-attached object, which object is simply rezzed as a prop (this embedded script will call llAttachToAvatarTemp() once it gets the key of the avatar to whom it should try to attach)
• a script added to the MLPV2-scripted item to catch the system's built-in link messages that are generated whenever an avatar sits or stands or an animation starts, using the supplied avatar key to identify to whom the prop should attempt to attach
• a listener message from that furniture script to that attachment script, sending that target avatar key.

Note that anything to be temp-attached must have both copy and transfer permissions for the furniture owner.

I don't know how important it is to use MLPV2 specifically; the nPose system comes with plug-ins specifically to handle temp attachments (which I've never used myself).
