Hello.

I have an attachment which requests permissions to animate the avatar. This works fine when the script is in the parent prim of the object, but when I move it to a child prim, the relentless dialog requesting permissions to animate comes up. I thought this was supposed to be granted without asking in attached objects...?

I would IMAGINE that the child prim is not viewing itself as attached to an avatar, but rather only to other prims. The root-prim would be the only prim attached to the avatar. My best guess at least.

but child prims do view themselves as attachments as the attach() event is called in them when they are attached so I don't get it.

Well, I did mention it as a guess. The solution, however, seems apparent (place the permission request in the root prim)...

I can't explain why, but it's the behaviour we've seen before and is what's expected now, in fact it's even documented on the wiki: http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llRequestPermissions&show_comments=1#comments
