Subdivide a parcel using coordinates

Is there a script to perform this scenario ...

* Land owner or estate manager stands on parcel which he/she owns/manages.

* This avatar wishes to create a new parcel without using the SL editing tool.

* The reason not to use the editing tool is the that avatar needs to create a parcel of arbitrary size and precise coordinates -- a rectangle would be minimum, of course, but a polygon would be better.

* Avatar submits the coordinates to the script.

* The script checks that the avatar is the owner/manager of all the land enclosed by the coordinates.

* The script subdivides the existing parcel, creating a new parcel of the shape defined by the submitted coordinates.

I'm optimistic about this!

I can see that nobody wants to dampen the enthusiasm. Unfortunately, there are no LSL functions that subdivide parcels. (Also, "arbitrary size and precise coordinates" would be constrained to the 4m x 4m unit grid, but that may have been the intent.)

If one really had to do this, the steps up to the actual subdividing of the parcel could be scripted, and then the script could chatter some HTTP to direct a parcel-subdividing bot. But as long as there's a bot involved anyway, it's not clear a script would also be needed.

Thank you Qie



How disappointing!

Are there any LSL functions to create the yellow bounding box from specified coordinates which comply with the unit grid?
That would also be very helpful.

Not the yellow bounding box that indicates selection--that's just a client highlighting function. But I've seen products that mark the boundaries of existing parcels, either by rezzing prims around the perimeter, or by zapping particle streams from corner to corner around the parcel. One could do the same to outline an arbitrary parcel layout as a visual help for manual "tracing" with the land selection tool. (I've never played with those products, so they may have that ability built in already for all I know.)

Certainly you could automatically create prim walls that would show where the new parcel should be delimited. That would certainly make it easier on the person doing the actual land editing.

If you want help creating such a script, I suggest posting follow up questions to this thread describing where you are having difficulty (or for tips on where to start your research). If you're really asking "ARE there scripts that will do this?" then you are on the wrong forum. Try Products Wanted.
