Just wondering if this is possible: To scan (from an object or HUD) the current locations entire parcel and return a list of all objects in that parcel that are set for sale, or set to show in search. Then return details of object name, description, sale price, owner and location. I know llSensor has a limit of 16 objects it can scan for, and a roaming "robot" with a sensor repeat might do this within a certain range - but is there any other way without causing hideous amounts of lag and/or swearing? I have had a good look around, but couldn't find anything like this, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.  |

I don't believe you can detect items for sale or showing in search using a script. I'd love to be wrong.

Thanks for the reply Jack,
Perhaps dome kind of a bot might do the job then... not sure how that would work out as I wanted some sort of automation or end user control for this task. And I'm not sure where to even start with programming a bot for this - something I haven't yet looked into.
Hrmm...

Nope. You can't get For Sale information by script. Scanning all the objects in a parcel for any kind of information is going to be a laggy process too. You're right about the swearing....

When you set an object for sale, you may check the box that says "Show in Search." That's an active choice on your part as a seller. It puts the price and location information somewhere in LL's servers (I don't have a clue where). Search uses that information to build a database that any user can scan on line. That's different from someone else trying to look at every object in an area, one by one, to build their own database of which items are for sale and what their prices are.

From: Dekka Raymaker so how does this info show up in search, when you find objects set for sale and their locations? Dekka, LL can see things we can't get to by scripts. Though that makes me think, you could request the web page for the parcel and parse through that by script. Not the method the OP proposed, but it would give results... |
