If an object is lost somewhere, is there a way for itself to return to my inventory ?

Short answer... No
Long answer... It can tell you where it is if it can tell it is lost.

If it can find its way off the edge of the world (a location where there is no sim) before running into a no-script area, it can. Heh.

a very low one might be more effective phantom + physics.

Using the setprimitiveparams position hack you can shoot an object above the build ceiling pretty quickly. Might work pretty well as a return mechanism.

will warpPos exceed the moving limitations at height if it starts below 768? it'd have to be one hell of a list....

1. How to return itself to my inventory if it's lost? Which function?
2. How to copy itself to my inventory? Which function ?

From: Own Westland 1. How to return itself to my inventory if it's lost? Which function? See above. That's what this discussion is about. From: Own Westland 2. How to copy itself to my inventory? Which function ? I don't know of a way for an object to copy itself to your inventory, but if you give it attach permissions, it can move itself into your inventory IF YOU ARE PRESENT AND CLOSEBY. This can be accomplished with llAttachToAvatar() and llDetachFromAvatar(). Incidentally, this may well have the effect of changing the last point to which the object was attached, thus putting it in a different place than the user's preference next time it is simply worn without a location being specified. If you care about that, you can also have the attachment use llGetAttached() to remember the last place it was attached. EDIT: It also may cause a current attachment to be detacted. Oh well. |

the consensus for question 1 seems to be to send the object offworld (assuming it's on script enabled land).... if it's a plane or other aerial object it may be safer to send it up using warpPos, since there's less chance of crossing a no-script area (limited to ~70m over the ground), otherwise it might be easier to just turn it physical and phantom, and allow it to drop off world. either way it should auto-return to your lost and found folder. if it's lost in a no script zone, there isn't much that can be done.
