This is to allow a second attempt to remove an avatar even if "show connections" shows them as already inactive (i.e. close has already been attempted once).
You should only attempt --force if a normal kick fails.
This is partly for diagnostics as we have seen some connections occasionally remain on lbsa plaza even if they are registered as inactive.
This is not a permanent solution and may not work anyway - the ultimate solution is to stop this problem from happening in the first place.
justincc's original work. Sample scripts before doing so. Also refactor some
crucial common code and eliminate parameters that were only ever used with
the same constant value.
Note, this behaviour appears to be at variance with the ll grid as of Tues 17 July 2012, testing with viewer 3.2.1.
The item name in inventory does not change either at the point of detach or after a relog.
This doesn't seem to make any sense and probably stems from a period when this code was directly involved in attaching objects directly from the scene.
This message is already being sent by InventoryAccessModule code instead.
This is only currently meant for use by regression tests that don't have any issues if XEngine is started up quickly, since no other operations will be occuring simultaneously.
Therefore, this is not yet documented externally.
This is to fix a regression starting from 5301648 where attachments had to start being deleted before persistence in order to avoid race conditions with hud update threads.
This prevents a stack overflow where a get position on the avatar will refer to the attachment which will in turn refer back to the avatar.
This required recording of all sitting avatars on a prim which is done separately from recording the sit target avatar.
Recording HashSet is null if there are no sitting avatars in order to save memory.
This works like osForceAttachToAvatar() but allows an object to be directly specified from the script object's inventory rather than forcing it to be rezzed in the scene first.
Still only attaches objects to the owner of the script.
This allows one to bypass the complicated co-ordination of first rezzing objects in the scene before attaching them.
Threat level high.
null would only ever be returned if the item couldn't be located within inventory and this would happen immediately.
In this case, derezzing wouldn't work anyway since there is no item to derez.
If delete doesn't occur first then the update thread can outrace the IsAttachment = false necessary to save attachments and send hud artifacts to other viewers.
Serialization of attachments requires IsAttachment = false so that correct positions are serialized instead of avatar position.
However, doing this when a hud is still attached allows race conditions with update threads, resulting in hud artifacts on other viewers.
This change sets SOG.IsDeleted before serialization changes take place (IsDeleted itself is not a serialized property).
LLClientView then screens out any deleted SOGs before sending updates to viewers.
Previously, setting IsAttachment to false then true was necessary to serialize the updated attachment object information.
However, UpdateAttachmentPosition no longer does this update.
Whilst IsAttachment is set to false there is a race condition where the update thread can wrongly send hud object updates to clients that do not own the hud, resulting in screen artifacts.
The reference is not guaranteed to be there when AddRegion() is called but will definitely be present at RegionLoaded() if it's going to be present at all.
This is because the attachments module code was setting the 'object slam' bit by using PermissionMask.All
Solution here is to route the attachment item creation call through the existing inventory code in BasicInventoryAccessModule rather than copy/pasted code in AttachmentsModule itself.
This involves a large amount of change in test scene setup code to allow test scenes to share shared modules
SetupScene is now an instance method that requires an instantiation of SceneHelpers, though other SceneHelpers methods are still static
May split these out into separate classes in the future.
