How do I allow people to take a copy of my object?

I recently added an in-world registration object for my website but no one could take a copy of it, so now I set it for sale at L$0. I had set "Next Owner Can Copy" and "Allow anyone to Copy" on the object.

Do I have to do the same to the script inside for this to work? What about the texture? Any chance we could get inheritance? Sorry... anyways, things work fine at "For Sale L$0" but hoped to get an answer on how to make the "Take a Copy" function actually appear for anyone. Thanks!

There's some historical buggyness (reported by yours truely) about how making objects free-to-copy works. The safest case is to assure that an object--and all its contents, containing scripts and textures--be fully unrestricted in terms of permissions. That means COPY, MODIFY, *and* TRANSFER. When you take an object into inventory, it'll display the restrictive permissions.

You don't have to set "Allow anyone to copy" on each item in contents--but just make sure permissions are set properly.

(It's also buggy that "For Sale" can be checked with a price and then "Allow anyone to copy" can be checked too--both at the same time doesn't make sense.)

However, as I've tested lately, as long as objects are copiable and transferrable--and this applies to everything within them--they can be set to "Allow anyone to copy" and should copy uccessfully.

Easiest way to do it? Get together with a friend who you've not done "Grant Modify Rights" with, and ask them to copy it. :)

Best of hope, Clubside.
