I was shopping for shoes today (didn't find what I was looking for) and a robot at one of the shops gave me an item named 'Be Happy Attachment'. Well I'm not happy, I drug it out of inventory and put it on the ground at home to examine, it started spewing multiple script error messages until I turned off all animation, now it won't let me delete it, I can delete the original from inventory but no amount of right clicking will let me take or delete the one on the ground.

Is it your land, or rented land. I had the same thing happen,but i was on rented land. The owner was able to return the object to my inventorty, where I deleted it. If it is your land, you should be able to use auto return to get it back into the inventory.

In the view tab there is something called beacons. If you choose the particles beacon it should show you the tiny box that is the root of the offending item. So then you can click on it and delete it.

If it's not called beacons i think it's called sources. Cant log on right now to confirm.

Good luck getting un"Happy". :)

Brenda's auto return idea was better. You rock Brenda.

Yes it's my land, thanks for replying... Figtree's idea worked because the script package was so tiny I couldn't see it without beacons. when I turned on beacons it was a snap to right click on it.

Thanks that worked like a charm! Unfortunately the beacon for my sky-island beach was right near it and I deleted the island first! arrgg, Waves, trees etc looked pretty funny just hanging up there. I have managed to get it put back under the palm trees now but I don't think it's exactly where it was, LOL. Never a dull moment. Thanks again.
