Phantom Child

Phantom Child

This easy to use code when put into a child prim of a linkset will make thay child and only that child phantom, even when taken into inventory and re-rezzed. You can use multiple copies of this script to make multiple children of a linkset phantom.

This code relies on a bug in Secondlife and may not function in later versions (currently server version 1.24). This script was created in part by Aeron Kohime and documents this useful bug (which like invis-prims, has countless applications).

You may use the follow script in any manner you like, excluding claiming you made it (unless your Strife Onizuka, in which case you made the hard part) and individually reselling it without change in function (its on the wiki silly). Otherwise you can sell it as part of a product, modify it, remove my comments, etc etc.
