LlDetachFromAvatar

Wiki description

Detach object from avatar.

Function notes

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

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.

Examples

default
{
    attach(key AvatarKey)
    {//give instructions for use and prevent item from being attached to avatar
        if(AvatarKey)
        {//event is called on both attach and detatch, but Key is only valid on attach
            llOwnerSay ("
            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.

Known issues

VWR-12525: llAttachToAvatar() can cause parentless attachments that can subsequently crash the client when selected
VWR-16294: When using llDetachFromAvatar after teleport the objects still appears attached to the user but not to other residents and becomes almost impossible to detatch.
