llgiveinventorylist with sub folders?

I'm trying to figure out how to give a recipient a folder full of subfolders containing the items I want them to have. But while I can see how to define one folder, I cant seem to figure out how to define sub folders. Any suggestions?

You can create a subfolder under the main #RLV folder using llGiveInventoryList if the recipient has the RestrainedLifeForbidGiveToRLV debug setting as FALSE and, of course, if he or she is using RLV in the first place, but I've never heard of being done otherwise.

If that's what you need it for, there's an explanation and example down at the end of http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/RestrainedLifeAPI

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info and I'll definately take a look but its not what I'm thinking of. Basically I'd like to be able to hand the recipient five seperate files with different things in them. But that just makes for a messy inventory so I was trying to be tidy and hand them the folders inside of one folder. But for the LIFE of me I cant figure out how to do it!

The basic problem is that object inventories don't do folders. llGiveInventoryList fakes it, but it can't give out subfolders because objects can't contain them :/

You could use a naming convention for the items that groups them together naturally in a single folder. This doesn't solve the problem, but it makes it easier for a recipient to sort things out for themselves.

Or you can give them multiple boxes and let them sort THOSE out.

Right: you can't do exactly what you want to do. llGiveInventoryList() always creates exactly one folder, and (ignoring RLV) puts it under the top level in your inventory.

It sure would be nice to be able to sell, say, an outfit, with a folder to wear to get the outfit with short skirt, and another to wear to get the long skirt, without the customer having to pore through and figure it out, or wear it all and get arbitrary results.

a while back before i knew anything about scripting, i remember buying something that instead of opening the box, it had me click on it as alot of things do now, but it did give me a folder with subfolders, it's been a few years, and i only saw it that one time, so maybe it was a bug that was later fixed. and i doubt i'd be able to remember what it is that i bought that did that

You can get multiple llGiveInventoryList calls on click, but the result will be multiple top level folders, not subfolders.

OK at least I know I'm not completely missing the obvious boat (of which I am usually the captain!) Thank you!!

That rings a bell for me. I do recall that a couple of years ago I was told by someone who was trying to teach me about llGiveInventoryList () that, while he'd no idea how it was done, he'd actually seen an application that was able to create subfolders inside the clothing folder and unpack boxes to there. Someone had told him she could do it, he said, he'd asked for proof, and she'd provided it.

I guess it must have been a short-lived bug, though, because otherwise everyone would be using it by now.

well heaven knows I've tried every trick I could think of to get lsl to recognize a sub folder tag - lol
