hello,

I've been trying to figure out how, when certain scripts request permissions, they do not get a pop up dialogue box explicitly asking the user for permission. I can't figure out how to do this on my own scripts.

Thanks for the help,

The llRequestPermissions function handles granting permissions implicitly automatically. (Granting something implicitly means that the user does not get a dialog for that permission.) IOW, the scripter doesnt decide when the user gets these dialogs, the llRequestPermissions function does.

Im not sure *exactly* when the dialog isnt displayed, but Ive noticed it not happening when attachments or objects you are sitting on request certain permissions.

Attaching or sitting on an object will grant that object some rights implicitly, as Chris states. Those rights are: animation and controls.

You still have to request those permissions like normal, however they are automatically granted in the case where the object the script is on is attached to the avatar (gun/sword etc) or the avatar is sitting on the object (vehicle).
