Q: firing changed() ?

Just a quick question. Suppose an object is contained in the inventory of another object scripted so that when it comes into contact with an agent it offers to give the inventory object to that person. If the person accepts that inventory object will this fire the changed() with CHANGED_OWNER?

I am trying to test this myself but since I am the original owner I cannot see it firing...

Thanks,

I suspect that it probably won't trigger changed() with CHANGED_OWNER, but if the inventory item is no-copy, it should change CHANGED_INVENTORY when the item is removed.

Let us know what you find out.

Nope, the no-copy flag was already set but nothing in the changed event was firing...

So am I to assume there is no way for a script to know/act when a transferrable object is picked up? Anyone have a workaround for this?

Thanks

Store owner key in a variable, retrieve/compare with last value in the on_rez event, if they differ then the owner has changed, update the variable and react accordingly..? ^^;

Yes, once the object is rezzed.

I guess that what Catherine told was no-copy object, not no-copy flag for the next owner. But I admit that it is very incovenient in all purposes. And I've reported that no-copy objects disappear completely when someone refuse to take it. Has that been solved yet?

I recall seeing that on Linden's defect list somewhere. They said the no-copy item should go in the receiver's trash, instead of vanishing.

Did you confirm it by yourself? I lost an object worth L$2,500 to test this!
Oh, sorry, I forgot it. It happened in the preview grid.
Linden might have promised to fix it after 1.13.x or later.

"They" meaning the Lindens.

Sorry, it was because of my poor Englsih.
What I said "Linden" meant "the Lindens" as well as you said.
I knew what you were talking about and it was just a joke.
I just wanted everyone to know that it had not been fixed yet.
It was just the attention preventing to lose your items.
