I have a problem. I won't go into the gritty details because I've already been told that I'm not allowed to.

So lets say, hypothetically, if someone was using a piece of property within sensor range (which I believe the upward limit is 96m officially, but it appears to be much higher) of my property was spamming my property with notecards advertisements without my consent....is there any way, through scripting, to go about nullifying my parcel from the ability of this sensor/listmaker to sense agents on it?

I mean according to everything I've been told to date, this hypothetical situation is within the TOS, so conversely, me using an automated script to prevent it must be too....right?

I'm pouring through the Wiki at the moment myself, but if anyones done any work in this area or dealt with similar situations and have some kind of self implementable solution to this hypothetical problem...I would truely appreciate any input you have.

Thank you.

You can hire 16 ppl to stand around his sensor :D or maybe ask him to stop, or AR him since it's against the TOS I'm sure Lindens would do something. I don't think there's a way to prevent sensors from generaly detecting people.

Even better, if you can get a Linden over he'll get the spam himself too. Can't beat that for ARing.



There's no way at this time to not appear on sensors.

Been there, done both, bought the T-shirt, had a Linden remove the prim...then had another Linden tell the owner to put it back.

So thats not working.

Is this person doing it on purpose, or that's just shortcoming of their notecard giver thing? Because if it's the latter then maybe you could convince them to change the script, so it only gives notecards when llOverMyLand() returns positive... i.e. so they only spam their own visitors. o.O;

if it's the former then well, dunno :/

I saw the original thread and the "cleaned" version, and the locks. Sorry to hear about all of it.

The only thing I can reccomend, which is not a scripting issue, is to have every single time you, your neighbors, your customers, everybody, gets one of those notecards, AR it. yes, it will be a pain in the arse for you, but at some point, the Liason's are going to want to stop dealing with it and they will make that person take it down. You could even return every single instance of the card you receive back to the author saying "no thanks, I don't want your product. Here is your advertisement back.". Be polite about it though.

Other than that... you could put up a notecard vendor on that side side of the property giving out an dadvertisement for your stuff. *shrug*

I dont know it if is possible, but combine a few things?

Wear a inventory protector of some sort?
Everytime you receive somethgin (event changed, CHANGED_INVENTORY flag), would you be able to check what it is? And if you find what it is. query the creators name (or keep a list of the things this person is giving out without consent = spam)?

If so: use script to return object and then delete it...
Havent checked if this is actually possible in LSL but if it would be, I think it's within the TOS.

It's not possible, sorry - you can't trap that sort of thing with LSL. The only thing you can do to affect someone's inventory is give things to them, and you can't detect anything about it at all.
