Well, vehicle functions won't work in an attachment. Physical movement will, but only to move, not to rotate (so you'd have to allow CONTROL_ROT_LEFT and CONTROL_ROT_RIGHT to do their default behaviors if you capture them at all). There's no automatic 'sit' animation for an attachment and there ARE still the normal walk/run/fly animations that play, so you'd always have to override animations carefully.

You might look for "flight assist" and/or jet pack scripts. Those might give you a good start.

The 'attach' event fires when an object is worn or removed. See http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=attach
