A new version of the AutoAttach system is out today !
This version mainly focuses on adding new possibilities for plugin scripts to trigger the AutoAttach, so that more possibilities can be added by including additional scripts in your master object. This was done on demand by a customer who wanted to trigger the AutoAttach system when customers pay the master object.
Here is a summary of the changes from version 1.3:
- The configuration notecard reading is now synchronous when possible, resulting in a dramatic speed increase. This was made possible by a recent new feature added by LL.
- Extended plugin support. Plugin scripts can now start and stop the AutoAttach by sending it a special link_message. They are also informed when an avatar is denied access because of the WHO configuration setting.
- 3 full-perm plugins included:
- Detect : starts the AutoAttach with the nearest avatar in range (if they are allowed) ;
- StartOnPay : starts the AutoAttach when the master object is paid the required amount of money. Optional refund for payment failures / access denied.
- HoverText : displays some hover text (with nice optional fade in/out effects) depending on the status of the AutoAttach. Uses my free HoverTextMgr script available here.
- 4 full-perm utility scripts, not directly related to the AutoAttach but able to perform various useful tasks:
- AddSitTarget : add a sit target to the object ;
- AnimateOnAttach : plays an animation on the wearer when the object is attached ;
- AnimateOnSit : plays an animation when someone sit (like a pose ball) ;
- Detacher : detach the object when a certain condition is met (touched by owner, timer, or special word heard on a channel).
- Bugs fixed and optimizations.
The AutoAttach is now available at Oggy's Scripted Items marketplace store and inworld store. As always feel free to contact me for support, feature requests, constructive criticism...
Buyers of the previous versions should get the new version from the marketplace server. If you did not get it feel free to contact me with proof of purchase.
