Is it possible to make it so the object lists its creator as someone other than the person who actually created it?
Not that I want to do it, but I just would like to know if there is a hack out there that does something like that

Thanks

Not sure I actually understand what you mean, but yes it is possible to make a script listen to a specific person not necessarily the creator or owner.

All the script needs to do is set up a listen for a specific key. i.e.

CODE

key target = "key of avatar";

default
{
state_entry() { llListen(0,"",target,""); }

listen(integer number, string name, key id, string message)
{
// will only receive messages from target
}

}


Like wise you can make it so that only a specific av can touch activate or sit on the item.

CODE

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
key id = llDetectedKey(0);
if(id == target)
{
// do stuff
}
}


All you need to do is get the target's key which is pretty straight forward.

that any help?

There's no way to change the creator on a prim, short of creating a new prim. :)

Step 1: Open the edit menu of the object.
Step 2: Apply white-out on the monitor to cover text.
Step 3: Write in a new name.

Who **really** made that?

Unfortunately, notwithstanding FireEyes Fauna`s entirely correct reply [ignoring bugs that reportedly set "creator" to "nobody" from time to time], it seems all too easy to do, and no hacks involved. On the other hand, if they "fix" this, it breaks so much *other* stuff, and the "cure" might be worse than the "disease".

What you do is to find a prim that was made by your victim and given away full perms (maybe they released a freebie or something). Use the build tools to meld that into what you want, and then you have an object that looks like it was created by that person.
