This allows NPCs to be sensed as agents by LSL sensors rather than as a specific NPC type (which is currently an OpenSimulator-only extension).
Wiki doc on this and other recent NPC functions will follow soon
llGetOwnerKey() could also be extended but this does not allow one to distinguish between an unowned NPC and some other result (e.g. 'no such object' if NULL_KEY is the return.
Also, any future extensions to LSL functions by Linden Lab are unpredictable and OpenSim-specific extensions could clash.
The osGetGrid**** functions will now get the grid settings from the GridInfoService. Set the GridInfoURI in your ./bin/config-include/GridCommon.ini [GridInfo] section.
no need for these checks just use Allow_osTeleportAgent = PARCEL_OWNER
also increased function to severe threat level to make it harder to
accidently enable it for everyone.
An owned NPC is one that only the original creator can manipulate and delete.
An unowned NPC is one that anybody with access to the osNpc* methods and knowledge of the avatar id can manipulate.
This is to correct an oversight I made in the original reimplementation where I mistakenly assumed that avatar IDs could be treated as private.
I am not anticipating that many people were deliberately making use of unowned npcs due to their insecure nature.
If you do need an unowned NPC please call the new overloaded osCreateNpc() function with the option OS_NPC_NOT_OWNED.
This will be documented soon. Options can currently be
OS_NPC_CREATE_OWNED - creates a 'creator owned' avatar that will only respond to osNpc* functions made by scripts owned by the npc creator
OS_NPC_NOT_OWNED - creates an avatar which will respond to any osNpc* functions that a caller has permission to make (through the usual OSSL permission mechanisms).
options is being added to provide better scope for future extensibility without having to add more functions
The original non-options osNpcCreate() function will continue to exist.
osParseJSON uses hand-crafted decoding that has two issues
* does not seem to handle top-level JSON lists
* does not seem to handle unicode text
thanks otakup0pe!
from previous commit which sort out which iterator is used are left
intact. A discussion is needed as to what constitutes an avatar vs a
ScenePresence.
the 3 iteration functions so more of them are using the correct
iteration for the action they are performing. The 3 iterators that seem
to fit all actions within OpenSim at this time are:
ForEachAvatar: Perform an action on all avatars (root presences)
ForEachClient: Perform an action on all clients (root or child clients)
ForEachRootClient: Perform an action on all clients that have an avatar
There are still a dozen places or so calling the old
ForEachScenePresence that will take a little more refactoring to
eliminate.
