llGiveSelf

llGiveSelf(key destination)

Follows permissions for drop, triggers CHANGED (owner and allowed), etc etc.

I can't explain how happy this would make me, so I won't try. But man. So happy.

Er, perhaps I should be less vague. This function would place the object calling it into the destination's inventory, if both are in the same Sim.

Id love this. Totaly, utterly, and entirely.

heh...

you could make a copy of itself and put it into it's inventory

llGiveInventory(key id, string name) //i think that's the call..

If you don't want the object after it's given a copy of itself, you could kill it off (llDie()).


I agree with you though... shouldn't have to do so much workaround for what seems simple results.

llInventoryChangeName(string oldname,string newname) would also make me terribly happy.

You cant rely on name, its not a unique identifier. You should get a key for that. If you dont have a key instead of the old name which of my 1000 "Object"s would you be acting upon?
I wish we could iterate through inventory objects like they were a folder full of files, sort of like the opendir, readdir and related C functions.

Object name is a unique identifier for object inventories (you can't have multiple 'Object' entries -- each additional one will rename itself 'Object 1', 'Object 2', etc.)

Since Avs can't call library functions, their inventories wouldn't be affected by llInventoryChangeName. This is the same model that llGetInventoryKey(string name) follows.

Er. Am I right? Now I'm not so sure.

Will attachments call their llGetInv* functions on the avatar inventory, or on their own?

If so, you're right, it'd need a key.

You're right, Coyote. Asset names are unique within an object's inventory, but not within your av's inventory. The llGetInv* functions use the object's inventory.

The thing is, is that *you* have to manually copy the object into its contents, and when it gives itself over and dies, it cant do the process again without manual intervention.





I wrote up a few functions that would allow you to do *almost* this. Look in the script library for "Object Inventory Functions".

llRenameInventory(key id, string newName);

or

llRenameInventory(string oldName, string newName);

would also make me wanna hug a linden till he/she 'splodes
