llDetachFromAvatar

function

Function syntax

llDetachFromAvatar();

Energy: 10
Permission: PERMISSION_ATTACH

Detaches the object containing the script from the avatar. Requires the PERMISSION_ATTACH runtime permission (automatically granted to attached objects). Note that the detached object is completely removed from the region and not dropped on the ground.

Detach object from avatar.

The detached object is no longer present in the sim. There is no lsl equivilent of the “Drop” command that moves an attachment onto the ground. Use llRezObject if you need similar behavior

llDetachFromAvatar();

Caveats

Only works in the root prim of the attachment; calling it from a script in a child prim will cause it to fail silently.
If the attachment was attached using llAttachToAvatarTemp, the attach() event will not be called because the object will be destroyed before the event gets processed.

            We hope you will enjoy your purchase,
            but if you really want to use this item properly, you should:
            1) drag it from your inventory to the ground
            2) Right click on it and select \"open\"
            3) copy its contents to inventory.");

            llRequestPermissions(AvatarKey, PERMISSION_ATTACH );
        }
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if(perm & PERMISSION_ATTACH)
        {
            llDetachFromAvatar( );
        }
    }
}

Notes

There is no way to delete an attachment with a script or to drop it to the ground.
