Items expiring in Inventory
Is there anyway to stop items expiring when taken into your inventory at all? I know that it is part of the system and can combat copying of items but is there a way for it not to happen? Also is there a way to stop crops etc from dying? Thank you!

When your farming, harvested items have a spoil timer that persists even if you take it back into your inventory.
Say you harvest some corn and it expires in 5 days. If you take it into your inventory and rez it out 6 days later, it will have expired. The script knows the time and date you harvested it, and uses that to determine the expiration date. The timer doesn't pause when its in your inventory.
If you know how to script you could modify it to not do that, but many people would consider that cheating :)
On the topic of crops dying, if you are not able to attend your farm very often your crops suffer. There is a farmer NPC you can use. It can water, harvest and store items for you. It just wanders around doing the chores, but it does need a little care when setting up. If it cant find a suitable storage container it will just end up with heap of harvested items following it around lol. I think the NPC can even craft items if you configure it properly.

Thank you MrSnoodle for your reply. I have found that the items expire right away when taking into inventory and then rezzed out straight away. The storage system does not take it in. I am wanting to adapt this system for a questing type world I am building and need the items to be taken into inventory. :)

it has been a while since i played around with the farming stuff, I think you are right about not being able to take the items back at all. I just pulled out a bucket and looked in the product script. The script resets on rez.
At a pinch you could find the "on_rez(integer n)" part of the script and comment out the llSetObjectDesc and llResetScript lines below it, but it might be more complicated than that.
Best of luck with the project :)

Points to myself and mumbles something about being a scripting dummy. I will try but if I set off a nuclear warhead, pls forgive me, Ill be in my bunker!

if you don't know how to comment out a line you simply put // before it.
so find
on_rez(integer n)
{
llSetObjectDesc() = "";
llResetScript();
}
and change it to this:
on_rez(integer n)
{
//llSetObjectDesc() = "";
//llResetScript();
}
Just add the // before those two lines and the script wont reset when you rez it out of your inventory.
I have no idea if it will actually work as intended and might need many more modifications to actually work.
just keep the original copy of the script just to be safe.
