Notes

  • This function only works for attaching to the owner of the object.
  • The attachments are added, not replaced.
  • An attached object can't be attached to a different attachment point; the function will silently fail.
  • Permissions are a requisite; if the script doesn't request them, an error will be said (i.e. 20m range) in DEBUG_CHANNEL: "Cannot find the agent to attach to."
  • If permissions were requested but not granted, it will send an error to the owner only in DEBUG_CHANNEL: "Script trying to attach to owner but PERMISSION_ATTACH permission not set!" (confusingly, this error is also shown if the permissions were requested to someone other than the owner). Scripts can't hear this error.
  • If permissions were granted to someone other than owner, when calling this function an error will be said (i.e. 20m range) in DEBUG_CHANNEL: "Script trying to attach to someone other than owner!"
  • The PERMISSION_ATTACH permission is revoked only when the object changes owner, when the granter responds to a new permission request from the same script that doesn't include it or responds by denying it, or when the script is reset. There's nothing the granter can do on his/her own to revoke them, if the script doesn't do another request.

Short examples

llAttachToAvatar(0); // attaches the object to the default attachment point
// (assuming permissions are granted for the owner,
// the object isn't already attached and the owner is in sim)

llAttachToAvatar(ATTACH_REAR); // attaches to the right ear (nothing to do with the bum)

llAttachToAvatar(14); // same as above

Complete examples

This script requests permissions on touch and attaches to the default attachment point if granted:

llAttachToAvatar-example.lsl
default
{
    touch_start(integer n)
    {
        if (llDetectedKey(0) != llGetOwner())
        {
            llRegionSayTo(llDetectedKey(0), 0, "Not possible to attach to you, sorry.");
            return;
        }
        // Request permission to attach from owner. We'll attach if granted.
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_ATTACH);
    }

    run_time_permissions(integer perms)
    {
        if (perms & PERMISSION_ATTACH)
            llAttachToAvatar(0);
        else
            llOwnerSay("Attach permission request denied, not attaching");
    }
}

  • llAttachToAvatarTemp is similar, but the attached object disappears when detached or on logout and doesn't go to the receiver's inventory; in other words, the attach is temporary. It also allows attaching to avatars other than the owner.
  • attach event is generated when an object is attached or detached.
  • llRequestPermissions is used to requests permissions from an avatar, in particular PERMISSION_ATTACH required by this function.
  • run_time_permissions event is generated when the result of the permissions request is ready.
  • llDetachFromAvatar to detach the object if attached (also requires PERMISSION_ATTACH).
  • llGetAttached to get the attachment point.
