Buy Event

Is there a buy event available for use? I know the concepts behind a vendor and paying an object and I think I understand the difference between buying and paying but where is the event for buying?

If there isn’t one is there a reason? Could anyone point me to some information regarding the decision not to have a buy event if there really isn’t one? If there is could someone kindly point it out?

Is there a reliable way to get around the fact there is no buy event, assuming there isn’t one? I’ve heard ideas about putting scripts in to watch for changing owners in the new objects but this just makes me feel uneasy for some reason. What if the object is not rezzed for some time after it’s purchased?


Thanks ahead of time.

There is no buy event, it just generates a change of ownership.
I'm not sure what your misgivings are concerning the time between being bought and being rezzed?

I'd like to send a message somewhere when someone buys something. Using a vendor this is no problem. Using buy I'm not sure how to do it.

The changed event with CHANGED_OWNER passed to it is raised in an original object when a copy is bought. The same would happen when someone buys an original, before they take it into their inventory.
