I was making something earlier ... a gadget to allow anyone to drop a texture into a prim and have it displayed ... and discovered, rather to my surprise, that the changed event was only happening -- for other people, though it was behaving itself for me -- if (change & CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP) and not, as I expected, if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY), though the textures were certainly being placed in the prim.

It was certainly that the changed event was not happening rather than something else not working -- I dropped in llOwnerSay("someone has changed my inventory"

; to check. When I changed it to if (change & CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP) everything worked fine.

Is this expected behavior? The prim's inventory is changing either way, after all.

Yeah, I was always under the impression that CHANGED_INVENTORY only fires when the Owner, or someone with rights from the Owner to modify, changes the inventory, and every other occurrence falls under CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP.

That's the way the wiki explains it but it is wrong. Testing shows that CHANGED_INVENTORY fires for everyone, while CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP only fires for those that do not have mod rights.

But it seems that the wiki (and I never consulted that table before) was correct.. CHANGED_INVENTORY wasn't firing for anyone but me. I had thought, too, that CHANGED_INVENTORY fired for everyone, which makes more sense (the inventory has changed, after all) and I'm sure it did in the past.
