I have a question for you scripters, and since I am not a scripter, I'll have to ask in non-technical language. Is it possible to block people from manipulating or otherwise interfering with a physics-enabled object except in specific ways? Here's an example: I'm thinking of setting up a football/soccer game. The ball can be pushed around when avatars run into it. However, I would not want avatars to be able to use their mouse to move the ball, nor would I want them to be able to stop the ball by right-clicking on it. Doing either of the last two things would ruin the game, I think. I suspect that there's no solution to this because of how SL works. Is there a partial solution or a workaround that anyone can suggest? Please bear in mind my lack of scripting skills-- I'm talking theoreticals here, not asking for code samples  Also, I have a related question: If more than one person is mousing a physics-enabled object around, what happens? Is there a "tug of war?" Does the first person to click on it get precedence? |

llSetStatus(STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB, TRUE);
that should stop people from being able to grab the ball.
as to the tug-of-war question i don't know.

Yeah that totally worked, thanks! Also it seems you can still kick the ball around when people are right-clicking it, so that's just peachy as well.

hard to stop them except by making the land no outside scripts.
