hi i am always droping little prims and then i cant find them takeing up my 235 prims i was looking for a script maybe that could be added to items like my house and chairs and carpet to tell the vacume they are spoused to be there and a second script to have to vac fly around withing 185/sqm and pick up anything that belongs tome be but dosent have the first script in it. it would help me with target practice, building , lots of things it could also find small lost things you had. i dont know maybe just a idea but i think alot of people might be able to use something like this.

What exactly do you mean by "pick up?" How do you visualize this working? Do the objects die, or just flock to the shop vac? Are these physical items being picked up or non?

I think an easier answer might be some way to have the sim cleared and yet laeve certain items intact. I think there is something like that for Ansche's Mature Sandbox? Only difference is hers erases fully. I know living on my IG Mistress's property she adn I lose alot of things like sexballs and never find them under the mass of building and land we have. Luckily I convinced her to change the land to group land now so we can manage it alot easier.

The problem with that type of "vacuum" would be--and I could be wrong--that there is no inherent way for an object to kill another object. An object can kill itself through an llDie, but cannot kill something else through a sort of "llKill". Therefore, unless your lost little pieces were scripted, you'd have a problem gettin' rid of them.

Additionally...there is no way for an object to pick up another object and put it into its own contents folder. I wish there were. I'd REALLY like it.

An ideal solution would be some sort of tool for listing the specific items on your land and being able to select them by name...I'd really like to see it...but...not here yet.

how about this . . . go by and link to each prim it finds that doesn't meet the criteria . . . then fly back to the owner. Just might work then you can unlink it and delete the prims.

Remember . . . think outside the plywood cube.

That could work...you may still run into sensor limitations...but it could work.

well we all know from replicator scripts that objects can give other objects copies of their scripts right?

Why not just make an object that sensors, discerns keys of, and gives a die script to any object not on a list on your property?

Giving an object to another object is one thing, giving a script is a little different. If you give a script using llGiveInventory, the script is set to no longer running when it's received by the destination object. There are other commands like llRemoteLoadScriptPin which allow you to get a script into another object and have it running, but as the name implies it uses a "pin" number, the receiving object has to have coded into it this pin #...

Why not just create a simple script with listens that has a "die" and a "remove this script" command, put it in a plywood box, and then use copies of that box for building?

Then, if you're cleaning up, you can just issue the die command, and if you want to keep whatever it is you've made, you can issue the "remove this script" command. It's no shop vac, but it's simple.

Better make sure you don't try and re-use it for anything after it's launched you to two billion meters!
