[Opensim-dev] osNPCxxx functions vs security

[W Smith]

Sorry this is probably out of the original thread, i just joined the list!

I think that any large delay on the osNpcTouch function would not be right, at least 10 touches a second should be allowed, i can easily click that fast for several seconds  at a time.


Also the NPC should be allowed to click its own/owners objects at any speed, and others objects at any reduced rate that may be decided upon.For "own" items it is just another method of script comms, no different to chat on a non  zero chat channel and that is not restricted, but this allows third party scripts written around touch events to be used without alteration.

NPC functions are already threat level high and NPCs have to be intentionaly configured in addition to specifically allowing OSSL in the first place


If you want to disable certain OSSL functions there are the Allow_osxxx = false settings in OpenSim.ini, the options give a big choice in how you restrict OSSL use.
