lGiveInventoryList script in wearable gift box question

To get around the problem of unpacking a box in a no-build area, using the script from the llGiveInventoryList wiki page to create a gifting box. The person wears the gift box, clicks the box, and the script makes a folder in the inventory and copies the items into that folder.

It all works just fine, except when an item in the gift box is no copy.


Is there any way to MOVE an item out of the wearable gift box instead of COPY? The item will no longer be in the gift box, but that's ok.

No, you can't give inventory with a no-copy object.

I'm not sure this is helpful to the OP, but if the whole objective is to "get around the problem of unpacking a box in a no-build area," then a common approach is for a scripted vendor to do the llGiveInventoryList() itself--the vendor's owner usually has copy permission on all the contents. A more common approach is an unscripted "vendor" set to sell its Contents.

and I beg you to go the extra step and use give inventory list instead of sell contents, especially if there is more than one object being transferred... I hate having to search for each little piece I just bought because they get dumped in three different folders by sell contents.

the problem with the inventory gives and no-copy is even worse, when you consider that you can't even move a no-copy item from one prim to another in the same object.

When does that happen? Never happens for me. When I buy the contents of an object I always get one folder with the name of the object and all the contents in that folder.

older behavior I guess, I have avoided box vendors for the longest time because of it, so uhm... disregard? (thanks for the correction, I hate out of date info =/ yet I have so much)

Thanks for the info.

Since there's no way around the no-copy limitation on the wearable gift box, I'm just have the script tell the giftee that there was a non-copy item (not too difficult, OwnerSay for each item), and that they will need to rezz the box somewhere buildable to get that item out.

(this is all hopefully for a hunt in the future)

I don't really understand why there's this limitation. The no-copy is moved out of the box when it's rezzed on the ground, there's no reason it couldn't do the same when the box is wore.


Hopefully there won't be too many of them no-copy items being packed up. :)

the behavior is ostensibly to prevent losses do to bad inventory transfers
