llAllowInventoryDrop(TRUE); queries

Hi all,

I want to allow people to drop certain items into an object, and it seems that in order to do so the permissions of the item being dropped must be at least COPY/TRANSFER else they get the 'padlock' symbol when attempting to drop the item.

More, once the item is dropped into my object, it transfers ownership automatically to me, so I can't tell who dropped it with an llGetOwner() or llGetOwnewrKey(item). The objects have been created by me also, so I cannot differentiate the 'droppee' with llGetCreator();

Therefore, is there any any means of detecting WHO dropped the item into inventory, within the CHANGED event or elsewhere?

Thanks,
Dominus

This has come up a few times. Sadly, I think the answer is no.

However, two new functions have been created for 1.6 that might help you formulate a solution to the problem. They are:
