Ok, first off, please mostly disregard the bug report I sent regarding linking.

Here's a quick background: I had two objects, A's script attempted to link it to objectB. I got the dialog box asking permission to link; I granted permission. Then when I attempted to make them link (via chat command) I get an alert telling me that the link failed because "an avatar is sitting on the object"

Huh?

There were not any avatars sitting on any objects, much less on either of the objects to be linked.

The problem ended up being that my script in objectA was attempting to link to *my* key id, rather than to objectB's id.

<g> Yes, I was having a seriously blonde night. But that doesn't excuse that error message, now does it? <G>

Gawd I love this game =)

You sure you weren't sitting on yourself? hehe

My guess is the test just looks to see if there is an AV linked, sitting is the only legit way to link an AV. What it should check first is of course if the ID is to an AV, then give the right error message, else check if an AV is linked to it and give that error message. :)
