Can objects auto delete at property border or altitude?

While messing around with scripting physical objects I either keep having them fall through the floor and tumble out into the sea where they are returned eventually or they fly straight up never to be seen again. Is there a function(?) I can set so they'll either auto-return or auto-delete when they leave my property or fly too high?

CODE

default{
  state_entry(){
    //-- this is actually preset for objects rezzed by script
    llSetStatus( STATUS_DIE_AT_EDGE, TRUE );

    //-- change to the below line to return offworld objects
    //-- this is not preset for objects rezzed by scripts, but will override it
//    llSetStatus( STATUS_RETURN_AT_EDGE, TRUE );
  }

changed( integer vBitChanges ){
  if (CHANGED_REGION & vBitChanges){
    llDie();

    //-- there is no function for returning out of region objects
    //--  but you can set STATUS_SANDBOX to prevent it from
    //--  going more than 10m from the origin region which will
    //-- also remove physical if it goes more than 10m or tries
    //--  to go to another region after.
  }
}


for property detection, you'll need to check llOverMyLand in some sort of loop or timer.

There must be (I'll go look after) a system wide listener right? How about listening on a channel for an owner sent 'abort' command to tell the object to self destruct?
Rime
There is a region wide: llRegionSay( integer channel, string s );
Outside the region llEmail will work (if the objects key is not changed)

STATUS_SANDBOX is a nifty little feature, unbeknownst to most people.

from The wiki:
From: someone
This status flag keeps the object from getting away. It causes the object to be unable to leave the sim or move more than 10 meters from the location where the flag was set.

If the object tries to leave the sim or move more than 10 meters it ceases to be physical and throws a "Hit Sandbox Limit" error.

yes but the 10m limit (mentioned above) can be a bit severe.

I do a lot of work with replicators. It's easy to lose control of them. I have a prim named "Shepard". If they go more than 30 meters from Shepard they invoke the llDie() function. Shepard also acts as a button that invokes llRegionSay(). A listen in my replicators raises llDie() upon hearing the die command from the Shepard.

Oo! Thanks, everyone. I've now got some things I can use. I tend to learn the llWhatevers as needed. I tried reading through them on the Wiki, but after a while it felt like looking at a Welsh road map.

I appreciate your help!
