Summary

Function: llAttachToAvatarTemp( integer attach_point );

Follows the same convention as llAttachToAvatar, with the exception that the object will not create new inventory for the user, and will disappear on detach or disconnect. Also, this function can be used on avatars other than the owner (if granted permission) in which case the ownership is changed to the new wearer.

• integer attach_point ATTACH_* constant or valid value (see the tables below)

To run this function the script must request the PERMISSION_ATTACH permission with llRequestPermissions. It should be noted that when an object is attached temporarily, a user cannot 'take' or 'drop' the object that is attached to them.

The user does not have to be the owner of the object in advance; this function transfers ownership automatically (the usual permissions required to transfer objects apply).

If attach_point is zero, then the object attaches to the attach point it was most recently attached to.

Caveats

Permissions
  • Do not depend upon the auto-grant status of permissions. Always use the run_time_permissions event.
  • If the script lacks the permission PERMISSION_ATTACH, the script will shout an error on DEBUG_CHANNEL and the operation fails (but the script continues to run).
  • Once the PERMISSION_ATTACH permission is granted there is no way to revoke it except from inside the script (for example, with a new llRequestPermissions call) or the script is reset or deleted.
  • When object ownership changes, any granted permissions are reset. After a successful attach, you will need a fresh call to llRequestPermissions to allow llDetachFromAvatar and other permission-required functions to work.
    • Until successful attachment via this method, previously granted permissions are retained as normal.
  • The attach step is not guaranteed to succeed, and this function should not be relied on as a security measure. Use the same permission and script precautions you would use with conventional inventory transfers.
  • If you use llAttachToAvatarTemp in an object that you do not have permission to transfer, the function will fail with a script error No permission to transfer, even if you are trying to attach it to yourself.
  • Temporary attachments cannot request the permission PERMISSION_TELEPORT, the following error will be returned: "Temporary attachments cannot request runtime permissions to teleport"
  • Attach points can be occupied by multiple attachments.[1]
    • This was not always the case, previously if attach_point was occupied, the existing object was detached and the new attachment took it's place.
  • Objects attached to the head (and any attachment position within the head) will not be visible in First Person view (aka Mouselook) if "show attachments in mouselook" is disabled.
  • If attach_point is zero but the object was never previously attached, it defaults to the right hand (ATTACH_RHAND).
  • If the object is already attached the function fails silently, regardless of the attach_point being a different attach point.
  • If attached via a Land Scope Experience script, the object will be force-detached by the server if the owner enters a parcel that does not have the Experience allowed.
  • If the target agent is already wearing the maximum number of attachments, the object will remain on the ground with the target agent as owner. Scripters may wish to do one or more workarounds:
    • check for successful attachment and llDie() after a timeout or if the object is manipulated while unattached
    • check llGetObjectDetails(avatarKey, [OBJECT_ATTACHED_SLOTS_AVAILABLE]) beforehand, and avoid attaching if zero slots available
