Question About Neighbor's Encroaching Object On My Land and Scripts

I have a small 512m piece of mainland.

One of my neighbors has built adjacent to my land. One of the objects on my neighbor's land crosses the boundary into my land.

It's a slight incursion. The neighbor's land is north of mine. The prim in question is a megaprim that is 32m high (up-down), 10m (east-west), and 0.8m deep (north-south). The prim crosses the boundary into my land by about one-third of its depth.

I could ask the neighbor to move the prim, and then abuse-report the neighbor if the neighbor does not move it.

However, I'm not sure I really care about the little incursion. It occurs at ground level, and I think I'm just going to build a skybox on my parcel now, so I don't really care what the ground looks like.

I keep my land set so that only Group (i.e., just me) can create objects, have object entry, and run scripts.

The land setting disallowing object entry has already failed to do what I expected. I expected by disallowing object entry, my neighbors wouldn't be able to allow their object spill onto my land.

On mainland I owned a short while, before my current parcel, I kept object creation, object entry, and running scripts all turned off. However, a neighbor had a house on adjoing land, and built a platform that reached out from that house onto my land. Then on that platform was a television, which was fully on my land (showed up as an object on my land). How that happened, despite my settings, were a mystery to me. I didn't resolve the mystery, though- when I discovered it, I had already decided to sell my land there, so I didn't deal with it.

As to deciding whether to deal with my current problem of a neighbors intruding object, I have these questions:

1) The neighbors prim is on my land, despite my prohibiting object creation, object entry, and running scripts. I am guess that this happens because whether or not the object is considered on my land depends entirely upon the location of the object's center. (The object's center is on my neighbor's land; about one-third of the object area is on my land).

If the neighbor puts a script in this object and starts running the script, with that script affect my land? Or to refine the question, will the script affect my land any differently than if the neighbor's prim were not encroaching on my land?

2) By having one prim that edges over into my land, does this one encroaching prim give my neighbor a way to bypass my object creation and object entry settings to get more objects onto my land?

If the answer to both questions are no, I'm inclined to just not worry about the prim intrusion. I only care if it actually affects me, or will affect me in the future.

Thanks in advance for answers.

Based upon answers to some similar issues I had with objects coming across the property line, as well as a few threads on how to build a bridge across some Linden water, I would bet that it is completely dependent upon where the 'root' prim is.

1. Yes you are correct - the objects centre (centre of root prim if a multi-prim object)being on your neighbour's land means that it is located on the neighbours land and counts in the prim allowance for your neighbour's parcel.

Any scripts will count towards the Script performance of the whole sim and can affect all of the sim.

2. I think not...but they could possibly temp rez things???

If you can raise your land up a bit higher than the neighbour's you could bury the overlaping part of the prim. Alternatively you could raise your land to the same height and do exactly the same thing back to them. Overall - best to IM them and ask them politely to move it. You can AR it if they refuse.

I haven't tested this on parcel boundaries, but I have observed that some megaprims appear to have their center outside the actual prim itself. That is, if you select the megaprim and have edit rights to it, the colored arrows used to drag the prim to a new position are displayed outside (sometimes a fair distance outside) the prim. This being the case, it might be possible for a megaprim that has this characteristic to be placed "on your land" while the center of the prim, as far as SL is concerned, is squarely on your neighbor's land.

That being the case, I would think that most kinds of scripts placed in the prim would apply to the neighbor's land, since SL thinks the prim is there anyhow. However. a script that generates particles, for example, will probably generate the particles from the visible location of the prim, not the misplaced "center" of it. Again, I'm making an educated guess and might just have to research this further out of curiosity if no one else answers this with something more definitive.
