[Opensim-users] How do you use osForceAttachToOtherAvatarFromInventory and other OSSL functions with NPC's

[Thomas Ringate]

List,

I found a post and a response to the post from Justin that suggests the several OSSL functions on “attachments” will work for NPC’s.
http://opensim-users.2152040.n2.nabble.com/Dynamically-attaching-objects-to-NPCs-td7579601.html
I have tried several variations to using these OSSL functions and they all work fine to put an attachment on an avatar.
I have not been successful at putting an attachment on an NPC.
I chose to test with the osForceAttachToOtherAvatarFromInventory function.
I tested with both “owned” and “un-owned” NPC’s.

Here is an edited email I sent to Justin who asked I ask this question here on the list.

> I read in a post you made sometime ago where you implied you could use the OSSL function osForceAttachToAvatarFromInventory and
> the other OSSL commands as well.
> The original post suggested a way to attach using an lsl function which I have not yet tried. Your suggestion was to use the OSSL functions.
> I have tried doing the following:
> create a box and place the script below in it.
> create another box named “testbox”, and put it in the first box along with the script.
> I have then tried using “box 1” in these ways.
> - place it on the ground and touch it
> - wear it and touch it
> - wear it and clone myself, and then touch it on my cloned NPC.
> None of these will attach the “testbox” to the NPC.
> They all attach it to my real avatar.
> Did attaching an object to an NPC work in the past?  Is it broken in the release OSGrid put out Aug. 16, 2014?
