I am sure the process is even easier than the logic but repeated attempts and no go on this task. I want to be able to allow anyone to drop a notecard on an object, if they have the same group allow the inventory change, if not reject it.


anyone drops

if same group keep

if different group reject

I am looking at llSameGroup and llAlloweInventoryDrop but can't seem to get the right flow down. Any suggestions or code would be appreciated.

CODE

default
{
touch_start(integer nd)
{
if(llSameGroup(llDetectedKey(0)))
{
llSetTimerEvent(30.0);
llAllowInventoryDrop(TRUE);
}
}

timer()
{
llAllowInventoryDrop(FALSE);
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}

changed(integer mask)
{
if(mask & (CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP | CHANGED_INVENTORY))
{
llWhisper(0, "My inventory has changed");
llAllowInventoryDrop(FALSE);
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}
}
}

The key piece of information you need: you can't actually do what I think you want. You can't refuse an inventory drop, and you can't tell who dropped it, you have to have someone touch it then accept drops for some period after the touch.

Yes, this sub-optimal. :p

It's still the best you can do.

Yep. The real killer is that there's just no way to tell who has changed the objects inventory. Something like llDetectedChangeOriginator (or something) would be nice here..

Ok thank you very much. Perhaps I could approach it a different way. Maybe allow the drop then check the new inventory's owner and remove if they arent in the group? Anyway thank you for the code. That helps.

The new inventory's owner will be the owner of the prim it was dropped in. YOU CAN NOT FIND OUT WHO DROPPED IT. Period. YES, THIS IS SUBOPTIMAL. :(

You can't figure out who dropped the notecard in inventory, but you can determine who created it and then check that information against a list of group members. That might be close enough, depending on how security-conscious you are. You could also add a layer of security by giving each person in your group a password and requiring that password on the notecard. No system is foolproof, and adding security protection can make your dropbox too difficult/annoying for your group members to use. Anyway, take a look at . It might help.

oh how I'd love to see this function reborn as
llAllowInventoryDropKey( integer add, key id )

Another possibility might be to delete all objects dropped in after a short timeout UNLESS someone from the group (e.g. with the group tag active) somehow confirms the drop. For example, by chatting the name of the recently dropped item on a particular channel, or by touching the receptacle and selecting the name of the recently dropped item from a list of choices of unconfirmed additions. This might be a LITTLE more secure than the touch-drop solution, though it too has its holes and pitfalls.

Don't forget that there's also no LSL call to tell you if someone is in the group, directly. You'd still have to ask them to click something even if you could tell who dropped it. :(
