Prim deleted event?

I searched the forum but didn't get any hits to I'll pose the question:

When a prim is deleted do you get any event? I was thinking you might get a state_exit or some kind of changed?

I'm afraid the answer to that is "in your (and several other people's) dreams".

That said write it up and send it to Kelly, you never know!

The only time you can tell when an object is being de-rezzed is if it is attached to an avatar. The attach() event will be called when the agent unequips the object. (Which effectively de-rezzes it.) However, you only get a few scant cycles to do any processing before the object goes away so don't look to do much except maybe set a few flags and stop an animation...

For non-attached objects, there's no way to tell when it's been derezzed (unless another external object is monitoring it). Worse, some events fire BEFORE on_rez() when an object rezzes. For example, not_at_target() and so on. This is immensely frustrating when it comes to cleaning up prim position/rotation altering effects (so as llMoveToTarget's and such)...

So I guess if I have the key to the object I can do a llGetObjectName(objKey) periodically and check for the empty string? Sounds kind of kludgey but if no one else has a better idea...
