llSetRemoteScriptAccessPin / llRemoteLoadScriptPin Question

Does anyone have a basic example of a *working* use of llSetRemoteScriptAccessPin & llRemoteLoadScriptPin? I spent a couple of hours last night trying to figure out why my stupid sphere accused me of illegally trying to load a script into my cube. Yes... the error message said "illegally". After a good chuckle, I resumed banging my head on my desk.

I know I am most likely missing something rediculously obvious, so any help would be appreciative. I know I am not providing much information here, but I am at work and unable to access my SL viewer.

This is for two or more objects - 1st goes in all ( possibly except root prim )

Second goes in the root where you keep the script you want to distribute

( I use something similar when updating a large linked object with a common script )

//
// Set the pin and delete the script
//

integer pin = 123456789;

default
{
	state_entry()
	{	
		llSetRemoteScriptAccessPin( pin );
		llRemoveInventory ( llGetScriptName() );	
	}
}


// 
// 2nd script
// loads scrpt into all linked prims
//

string script_name = "a script" ;
integer pin = 123456789 ;
integer start_param = 0;

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		integer idx = 2;
		for ( idx = 2;idx <= llGetNumberOfPrims() ; idx++ ) 
		{
			llRemoteLoadScriptPin( llGetLinkKey( idx ), 
                                                          script_name, 
                                                          pin, 
                                                          TRUE, 
                                                          start_param);
		}
	}
}

Uncompiled so excuse the syntaxes

It's possible you're trying to load script into a child prim of a set, that doesn't actually have the PIN active? (because say, the script setting the PIN is located in another prim)

as far as basic usage goes, this works for me:

llSetRemoteScriptAccessPin( update_pin );

in script placed in target prim then:

llRemoteLoadScriptPin( update_client, "script", update_pin, TRUE, 0 );

in the updating script. update_client is UUID of target prim, "script" is name of script to upload, update_pin is an integer that is the same in both scripts...

Thank you both, I think I see where I pooched it up

I'll give it a shot when I get home.

Nope... still no luck. It's rather odd, if I create 2 unlinked prims, I can get one to pass a script to the other. But when I try to add the same exact code to my existing project... I get the following error:



What the heck is THAT about?? lol

It works with fresh prims, but for some reason, the exact same code doesn't work when I try to add it to my project. I am positive I have the right key for the receiving prim, I am positive that the pin is the same in both scripts... and yet... illegally loading?

I've just tested this procedure with two prims linked in a set, and it worked both ways for me (updater in root and the prim to be updated being a child, as well as the other way around) ... i got the exact error while trying it again, but this time with PIN in destination prim reset back to 0. So suspect this may be a mis-match of PINs after all? ^^;;

Ah yes... I found the error. When I copied and pasted the pin from the test prims I had success with, I missed a number. I told you it would be something simple.

Thank you much for your help!
