 ====== Prim Inventory Transfer ======
-These are the scripts for transferring inventory from one object to another, and allowing scripts to be transferred and set to a running state. These are the scripts used in the demonstration video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u9ocF_7DLQ&list=PLG4A-xtQY_3RMpzqoJI1mDKL-arGkxNIz&index=3|prim inventory transfer]].
+These are the OpenSimulator scripts used in the demonstration video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u9ocF_7DLQ&list=PLG4A-xtQY_3RMpzqoJI1mDKL-arGkxNIz&index=3|prim inventory transfer]] for transferring inventory from one object to another, and allowing transferred scripts to be set to a running state.
+===== How They Work =====
+Place the sender prim within 10m of the receiver and touch the receiver. The receiver will now be in a listening state on a specific channel.
+Touch the sender. This will now send a message on the channel.
+The receiver hears the message and gets the UUID of the sender. It sends a message back that only the sender can hear.
+The sender receives the message from the receiver, and learns its UUID. It sends a list of inventory containing everything it wants to send except the scripts.
+The sender now sends the scripts it wants to give, using the special function ''llRemoteLoadScriptPin()'', which allows the scripts to be set to a running state. It does this because it knows a secret (the PIN) which has been previously set on the receiver prim.
+Note that each script sent by ''llRemoteLoadScriptPin()'' incurs a three second penalty (the script sleeps for three seconds). It is also possible to send all the scripts with the other inventory, where they will arrive in a non-running state, then send a single script with ''llRemoteLoadScriptPin()'' which will set the state of those scripts to running.
+The scripts below use the less efficient method as they are only intended to demonstrate the setting of a PIN and the transfer of inventory.
