Parcel Toggle to Block External Mouse Interactions
Timothy McGregor
Add a parcel-level option in About Land > Options that, when enabled, blocks all mouse-driven interactions with objects on the parcel by any agent physically outside the parcel boundaries.
When enabled, prevent:
• Touch events
• Right-click context menus (e.g., Sit Here, Buy, Pay, Edit, etc.)
• Sit actions (llSitTarget, viewer sit)
• Any other viewer-initiated mouse interactions
This mirrors the current behavior for avatars on the parcel ban list, but applies based on parcel boundary presence rather than ban status.
[x] Avatars on other parcels can interact with objects on this parcel
(True by default)
Use cases:
The same reasons one wouldn’t want a banned agent interacting with parcel objects while off parcel could apply here. My particular use case is on a private region, I have several parceled off spaces that I want to control access to WITHOUT resorting to access lists. My last obstacle is the fact that I have objects inside the parcels with sit targets.
I think a lot of people would generally find this option useful in any number of scenarios. They can chime in in the comments.
The code is basically there already, just add the Boolean to the parcel options to enable it for an off-parcel context.
EDIT: To safeguard the clicking proclivities of the curious clicker (Oh that's neat who made it?) we could narrow the scope to allow for object edit in order to view information about the object. The main driver for me is to prevent touch events and right-click context options that allow for object interaction such as touch, sit, etc. The end goal (for me) is to inhibit parcel entry via sit targets.
