Permissions: How to Query CREATOR?

Have hit a snag, and need some help:

Given a PRIM with a Script.
The PRIM (through it's Script) accepts OBJECTS dropped into it, then it shares them back out to other avatars. (think of it as a DROP BOX to create FREEBIE bundles--but I only want original creations).

How can I be sure that the OBJECT dropped into the DROPBOX is okay to transfer back out?
(I know about the standard permission flags...this is a special case.) The solution I'm trying is to determine if the CONTRIBUTOR AVATAR is the CREATOR of the item. If so, I'd accept the item. If not, I'd refuse it/return it.

I'm looking at the WIKI, and the closest seems to be:
llGetInventoryCreator
but it seems to only work on the PRIM in which the SCRIPT is running, not on the OBJECT that's dropped into the PRIM.

Is there some way to test that 'contributions' come from the actual content author?

From the wiki

key llGetInventoryCreator(string item)

This function returns the UUID of the creator of item. If item is not found in inventory, the object says "No item named 'name' ".

Compare with llGetCreator.


When an item is dropped, call llGetInventoryCreator via a changed inventory event, using the name of the new item. This is the right function. (llGetCreator is for the prim in which the script resides.)

actually.... i dont think the event flag is CHANGED_INVENTORY for a non owner working under llAllowInventoryDrop();
i believe when new inventory gets added it pops a changed event and fires off
CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP, so to play it safe use something like

changed(integer change)
   {
       if(change & (CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP | CHANGED_INVENTORY))
          //do something here
   }

I C
Let me try that. Thanks, everyone!

In this case, it is CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP. CHANGED_INVENTORY is only true when it is the owner of the receiving prim dropping stuff into it. CHANGED_ALLOWED_DROP covers the rest. So unless you want to check yourself, you only need the latter.
