Texture drag/drop without painting the prim?

Is there a way to keep from having to CTRL-drag textures to a prim (to keep them from applying if you're the owner of the prim/object you're dragging to)?

you could edit the object, open the "contents" tab, and then drag the contents there.

Yeah. I already considered that. *sigh* Thanks for the suggestion though.

You could also use a method whereby another object GIVES the texture to the receiver object, but you're still going to have the same problem over and over again.

I know that the EasyTexture HUD (part of the JexTone EasyTexture system) has a special prim it wants you to drop inventory onto.. and if you drop onto the wrong prim, it lets you know that you did it wrong.

You can use a "changed" event to detect if a texture changes on your drop box... then you can "change the texture back to it's proper texture" via script, and then have the box use a whisper or say, to say "Sorry, you need to hold down Ctrl when dragging inventory".

default
{
    changed(integer change)
    {
        if (change & CHANGED_TEXTURE)
        {
            llSay(0, "You n00b! You need to hold down CTRL when dropping textures to my inventory!");
            llSetTexture("5748decc-f629-461c-9a36-a35a221fe21f", ALL_SIDES);
        }
    }
}

lmao
