Feature Request: auto-accept to #RLV from own attached objects

Issue #131 new
Chorazin Allen created an issue

Background: I’ve been converting something that uses a combination of body-worn item and HUD from the old model where the HUD object is rezzed on the region and then attempts to get attach permissions and perform the attach (which can be invisible to the avatar if using RLV and @acceptpermission ) to the more elegant give-to-#RLV and then force-wear. The latter approach is much more desirable - less complexity, rezzing on land rights not needed, no chance of wearing two or more at once and no chance of littering the land with unattached huds if they fail to self-destruct after giving up on trying to attach.

There’s one downside though. The user has to accept the inventory offer where before they didn’t have to respond to any dialogues. Although RLV has the means to deliver a notification when the offer is accepted (or rejected) there still need to be inactivity timeouts and retry logic and the chance that the user will ignore or discard the object.

The feature proposal is a change in behaviour (with a debug setting to force a reversion to current behaviour) that allows a give to #RLV from an object the avatar is wearing to succeed without the confirmatory dialogue. I realise this could be open to abuse hence the restriction that the giving object is owned by the avatar and is worn - meaning that to get this far the avatar has to have accepted/bought/acquired the original object and worn it. By the time they’re wearing an RLV-aware object I don’t think allowing that object to silently attach another object is a major concern.

With the limitation that the giving object is owned and worn, I don’t think this is any more dangerous than @acceptpermission allowing attaching silently.
