How to delete a prim?

Hello!

I'm looking for an reliable way to create and delete a prim from an attachment. Thats what i'd like to do:

1. Attach an Attachment A.
2. A recieve a message (chat, linked, touch ... ) and rezzes Prim P from Attachment A.
3. Prim P sends a message.
4. Prim P vanishes (read: delete).
5. goto 2.


Just using an AAA-Texture will not work, cause i'd like to have the UUID of Prim P within the attachment just for several seconds.

How would I do this?

llDie() will delete the object the script resides in.

So - just put a script in with the rezzed object, activate a listener and if the appropriate command is "listened" to, call llDie().

from the wiki:
llDie will not work for attachments. Use llDetachFromAvatar instead.

... but i dont want to detach. :-/

Err ... if you rez a prim from an attachment that newly rezzed prim is NOT an attachment nor should it be part of the original one - I think

If - for some strange reason - it schould ... have it unlink itself and then use llDie().

Works perfectly .. thanks a lot!

I have a similar problem :
1) i want to be able for an attachment on command generate a prim
2) The new prim is connected to - and moves with the attachment......
3) the attachment will also on command delete the generated prim - leaving the attachment in place.

I know how to do item : llObjectRez in the attachment

not sure how to do 2 : The only way i know of getting two prims to move in synch is to link them which you can't do when one of the prims is attached.

not sure how to do 3 since llDie wont work in attachements.

I don't want a fully working script - just some hints

Thanks.

Your best bet is to create the whole attachment object (all rezzed & linked together). Then you can write scripts to hide / unhide portions of the attachment.

E.g, the root prim can use llMessageLinked to tell a child prim to hide itself. The child prim can then set Alpha to zero (make it invisible) and phantom to TRUE. Reverse to unhide.

Thanks - that was sort of the conclusion i had come to

pity that the rules on attachments are so limiting
