run_time_permissions

run_time_permissions(integer perm)

This event is invoked either after the user has responded to a permission request or if permissions granted to the script have changed. The integer perm value returned to this event contains the current set of permissions flags so, if perm == 0, then no permissions are set.

A script needs permission from either its owner or the agent it is to act on before it performs certain functions, such as debiting money from its owner’s account, triggering an animation on an agent, capturing control inputs, etc. llRequestPermissions is used to request these permissions and the various permissions integer constants can be supplied:

See FutureRevisions for future additions to perm.

Note: permission requests do not always ask the user for permission directly. In case of the agent sitting on or attaching a scripted object, PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION and PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS will always be granted automatically. However, they still need to be requested within the script.

See control for an example.

Q: I see that this function takes an integer bitfield value for perm, but I see that values 1, 8, and 64 are not listed. Any ideas of what these were, are, or will be used for?

A: See FutureRevisions.

Q: Can I ask for permissions that don’t have a constant or an unimplemented constant? Can the user grant them?

A: Yes they can be requested and granted; they just won’t do anything. See the table below for restrictions.
