Looking to do some inventory Control.. and it would be awesome to have a script that counts and lists all contents of a prim

Also while at it... is there a way to transfer contents from one prim to another without taking it into inventory?

thanks \m/

One can use loops with the assorted Inventory functions to obtain this. For instance, the following function will return the names of all inventory items in that prim:
CODE


list get_all_inventory_names()
{
    list names = [];
    integer f = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_ALL) - 1;
    do {
        names = (names = []) + [llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ALL, f)] + names;
    } while (--f >= 0);
    return names;
}


As for the latter point, prims can give inventory to other prims; it is how self-replicating objects work.
