Need help with detaching

So one afternoon I was out shopping for hair and I wanted to try on this hair demo by Action. When I was flying around debating if I was going to buy this hair or not I accidentally left the sim then the hair detached all by it self. Then it gave me a message telling me I can only use the demo hair in that particular sim. I'm horrible at scripting and I tried replicating a similar script for a friend of mine. However, when i do llDetachFromAvatar that requires permissions if im not mistaken.
I never had to give permissions for that demo hair and I don't want it to ask for permissions because the whole purpose is to help prevent copy botting.
Thank you for your time and efforts!

You can't stop copybotting with a script. The perp will just rez it in a no-script zone.

Ahh I've been focusing on this script for a while now since I'm by no means any good with scripting that I completely forgot about that. I feel like a scrub. Haha. Thanks for saving me an even bigger headache

permissions are automatically granted when attaching an object, unless the script resides in a child prim, then you still have to click the blue dialog

I understand now. Thank you! : )

I think they fixed the child prim problem a few versions ago.

Tell me your name is NOT really Ruboneout.

As for functionality like that observed in the original post, you might try something like the following. (Not yet compiled; may need a couple minor fixes.)

string HOME_REGION = "Someplace Special";
string DETACH_MESSAGE = "This is a demo version and cannot be used outside Someplace Special";

detachInForeignRegion()
{
   if (llGetRegionName() == HOME_REGION)
   {
      return;
   }

   if (llGetPermissionsKey() == llGetOwner() &&
       llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_ATTACH)
   {
      if (DETACH_MESSAGE != "")
      {
         llOwnerSay(DETACH_MESSAGE);
      }
      llDetachFromAvatar();
   } else
   {
      llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_ATTACH);
   }
}

default
{
   on_rez(integer startParam)
   {
      if (llGetOwner() != llGetCreator())
      {
         // Prevent rezzing except to attach
         llDie();
      }
   }

   attach(key id)
   {
      if (id == NULL_KEY)
      {
         // Prevent dropping in-world
         llDie();
      } else
      {
         detachInForeignRegion();
      }
   }

   changed(integer changes)
   {
      if (changes & (CHANGED_REGION | CHANGED_TELEPORT))
      {
         detachInForeignRegion();
      }
   }

   run_time_permissions(integer perms)
   {
      if (perms & PERMISSION_ATTACH)
      {
         detachInForeignRegion();
      }
   }
}

one other thing you can do is take controls, this allows script to run in no script land. i haven't tested to see if detaching/attaching messes that up or not. guess it depends if you reset the script on attach?

Clarification: This applies to most, but not all permissions. Permission to take lindens are not automatically granted. There may be others. But I do believe permission to detach would be granted automatically.

Right, Ruthven, but there are plenty of other reasons a copybot can still work.

If the object is ever rezzed, it can be copybotted. If it can't ever be rezzed, it's not of much use.

which is why i suggested taking controls so the script that would kill the object can still run on no script land

That would make no difference. It has to run before it can take controls. If the perp rezzes or attaches it on no-script land it would just sit there like a brick waiting for them to leave no-script land so it could start running and take controls.

Right, Argent, and in any case, I don't see how killing an object can prevent it being copied. I mean, when does one kill the object? Immediately? If so, what purpose can it serve? (It could serve a useful purpose if scripted to have some one-shot behavior -- but in that case, it would be the script that would need protecting, not the object, and copybot can't copy scripts.)

If it doesn't kill itself immediately, then when does it? There's no way to detect copybotting.

Perhaps if this object kills itself whenever anyone other than the owner is within some radius ...

Maybe it's paucity of imagination on my part, but I can't conceive of any practical way that llDie() can be used to prevent copybot.

llDie() is the new !quit

Lol

lol I didn't parse that before.... kudos =) =) =)
