Oh, what I would not give.

I mean if the object is mine, why do I need a PIN?

imagine for an instant you could.

you would use llRemoteLoadScript(objectkey, "script name", running);

now say someone gave you a box and told you to rez it on your property. In this box was two scripts

CODE

default{state_entry(){llDie();}}


CODE

default{
    state_entry(){
        SensorRepeat("","",-1,96,TWO_PI,0.1);
    }
    sensor(integer a){
        while(a--)
            if(llGetOwnerKey(llDetectedKey(a))==llGetOwner())
                llRemoteLoadScript(llDetectedKey(a),"other script",1);
    }
}


so in under a dozen lines of code i can delete your entire house.

That's a prototype greifing tool. This sort of thing happened.



What i would like is the ability to set the remote script pin on objects without having to have a script to do it. Have it be an object attribute in the edit window. And it's value is only visible to the owner.

...and couldn't the same be said for many other scripting functions such as llSitTarget, and maybe the camera positioning functions.

Lots of things could be done

- Load on to linked prims only
- Creators must match
- Dialog could prompt the user
