Maybe I'm missing something here, but I've noticing an important missing script function - deleting from inventory.
llDie does not work on attachments, so it is suggested to use llDetachFromAvatar to get rid or a rezzed object you are holding.
Thats fine and dandy, I can detachfromavatar and then make it die, but a copy still goes into my inventory. The more I rez, the more copies I get.
There is a function called llRemoveInventory, but that only works on an object's inventory, not mine.
Is there no way to script a cleanup so that I don't have rez copies cluttering up my personal inventory? I can understand not making that a default condition, but we should be able to do this...
For example, if I have a barrel of beer, and I want cups spawning from it to be deleted after unattaching from my hand (not just get junked into my pocket forever) how do I do that?
Furthermore, how do people enable customers to try something on without retaining a copy in their inventory (despite llDetachFromAvatar)?

Thats right, there is no way to delete an attachment. Its probably a good thing too considering that its use would probably make a lot of people unhappy when their attachments evaporated.
Sample objects are typically textured in an undesirable way or have crippled functionality... or both.

From: Grimoire Jewell Thats fine and dandy, I can detachfromavatar and then make it die, but a copy still goes into my inventory. The more I rez, the more copies I get. How d'ya figure? llDetachFromAvatar doesn't *drop* the attachment, it just de-rezzes it. Attachments do not spawn new copies each time they are worn, only copyable objects dragged from inventory onto the ground (or another prim) do. From: someone For example, if I have a barrel of beer, and I want cups spawning from it to be deleted after unattaching from my hand (not just get junked into my pocket forever) how do I do that? Manually manage your inventory. Could you imagine the griefing that would occur if a script could delete items from an agent's inventory? (Even if doing so only moves them to the Trash folder) From: someone Furthermore, how do people enable customers to try something on without retaining a copy in their inventory (despite llDetachFromAvatar)? If it's a clothing item, they can't. If it's an attachment, they can have the customer stand on a "posing stand" and approximate the position of the attachment relative to the avatar. An avatar cannot actually "wear" anything their agent doesn't own, and therefore which exists in their inventory. |
