Hi, I'm working on a gadget I want people to drop things in, but I want to make sure the inventory goes to the root prim and not any of the child prims. Is there any way to do that? Thanks!

all items should go to the root if it's the one that calls the allow drop function (except textures), alternatively you can call it from a child prim and then only that child prim will allow inventory drops. (at which point you can move anything dropped to the root if you prefer.)

Curiously enough, this doesn't seem to work with textures, though. Any ideas how to force them to go into the root prim? Thanks!

just the above work around using a child... the alternative is to have a script in EVERY prim and use those to shift inventory around, which is a realy Really REALLY bad way to go about it.

Make a single prim that says "DROP INVENTORY HERE"

well I thought of a a half-assed way to do it... make the root prim su that that it's transparent and all other child prims are within in it... for that matter, the same could work for a single child.

That last one would be neat if it worked... unfortunately, the drop doesn't go to the invisible prim, but to the visible one below. I'm going with Winter's solution for the time being, in hopes that people will actually read the instruction.  |
