on_buy_original OR changed: owner

Is it just me, or are we in need of an "on_buy_original" event or a "changed -> owner" event?

objects are bought in to inventory, so couldn't you do it on_rez?

on_rez(integer p)
{
    if (llGetOwner() != kSavedOwner)
    {
        kSavedOwner = llGetOwner();
        // do owner change stuff;
    }
}

Not originals.

Hmm, if kSavedOwner has never been set or changed from some default, then its Original owner.

Not what I meant.

When you buy an original item, instead of a copy of an item, it doesn't go into your inventory, it stays where it is.

For instance, if I have someone build me a house, they sell me all the prims as original items, that way I don't have to go digging them out of my inventory and trying to line them all back up again.

Ah, right, I missed that part.

Is there a permissions hack maybe? I'm thinking maybe some granted permissions might change on ownership transfer so you could check the owner in run_time_permissions... have to investigate.

Or use the hated llSetTimer.

Yes, and though you could have a script on the object in a tight timer loop checking to see if it's owner's key has changed, that's not good script programming, AND events could still slip between the ownership transfer and the next timer cycle.

A llReturnToOwner would be nice too.
