= OpenSimulator Internals/Walkthroughs/Avatar Rezzes Inventory =

== Overview ==

Traces what happens in code, connectors, and database when an avatar rezzes an object from inventory into the world.

----

== 1. Client Sends RezObject ==

OpenSim/Region/Framework/Scenes/Scene.cs -- RezObject()

# Viewer sends RezObject packet with itemID, ray start/end, and rez flags.
# Scene.RezObject() calls IInventoryAccessModule.RezObject().

----

== 2. Item and Asset Fetched ==

BasicInventoryAccessModule -- RezObject()

# Calls InventoryService.GetItem(agentID, itemID) -- reads inventoryitems table.
# Validates item exists and is owned by agent.
# Calls AssetService.Get(assetID) -- fetches object XML asset.
# If asset null or empty: sends alert to client, returns null.

For HG foreign users (HGInventoryAccessModule):
* If IsForeignUser: calls m_assMapper.Get(item.AssetID, agentID, foreignAssetServer) before asset fetch -- pulls asset from foreign grid if not cached locally.

; DB reads:
* inventoryitems -- SELECT by item UUID
* assets -- SELECT by asset UUID

----

== 3. Deserialise and Position ==

BasicInventoryAccessModule -- RezObject() continued

# Calls Scene.GetObjectsToRez() -- deserialises XML into List<SceneObjectGroup> and position offsets.
#* Single object: SceneObjectSerializer.FromOriginalXmlFormat().
#* Coalesced: CoalescedSceneObjectsSerializer.FromXml().
# Calls Scene.GetNewRezLocation() -- raycasts from RayStart to RayEnd against physics scene to find surface position.
# Checks CanRezObject permission at target position.
# If no-copy item fails perm check: sends SendBulkUpdateInventory to restore item to client display.

----

== 4. Ownership and Permissions Applied ==

BasicInventoryAccessModule -- DoPreRezWhenFromItem()

# Sets rootPart.Name and Description from inventory item (single object only).
# Applies ObjectSlamSale if flagged.
# Sets FromFolderID on SOG.
# If ownership change (new owner or Slam flag):
#* Changes OwnerID on all parts, sets LastOwnerID, calls Inventory.ChangeInventoryOwner().
#* Calls ApplyNextOwnerPermissions() -- applies NextOwnerMask to BasePermissions.
#* Applies any ObjectOverwrite flags from item.
# If same owner: sets FromUserInventoryItemID if item is copyable (links rezzed object back to inventory item for "save changes" support).
# Calls TrimPermissions() and InvalidateDeepEffectivePerms().

----

== 5. Object Added to Scene ==

BasicInventoryAccessModule -- RezObject() continued

# group.ResetIDs() -- assigns new UUIDs to all parts.
# Clears attachment data (ClearPartAttachmentData()).
# Sets IsSelected if RezSelected flag.
# Sets AbsolutePosition from ray result.
# Calls Scene.AddNewSceneObject(group, true, false) -- adds to scene graph, schedules persistence.
# Calls CreateScriptInstances(0, true, DefaultScriptEngine, 1) -- starts scripts with on_rez state source.
# Calls ResumeScripts().
# Schedules full update to clients.

; DB writes:
* prims -- INSERT: new prim rows for each part
* primshapes -- INSERT: shape data for each part
* primitems -- INSERT: task inventory for each part

----

== 6. No-Copy Item Removed from Inventory ==

BasicInventoryAccessModule -- DoPostRezWhenFromItem()

# If item.CurrentPermissions has no Copy bit: calls InventoryService.DeleteItems(owner, [itemID]).
# Item is consumed on rez.

; DB writes (no-copy only):
* inventoryitems -- DELETE: item removed

----

== 7. HG Asset Push (HG users only) ==

Not applicable on standard rez. HG asset push (ExportAsset) is triggered on CopyToInventory, not on rez.

----

== Summary: DB Tables Touched ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Table !! Operation !! Notes
|-
| inventoryitems || SELECT || Fetch item record
|-
| assets || SELECT || Fetch object XML
|-
| prims || INSERT || New object in region
|-
| primshapes || INSERT || Shape data
|-
| primitems || INSERT || Task inventory per part
|-
| inventoryitems || DELETE || No-copy items only
|}

----

== Edge Cases ==

Attachment rez (from RezAttachments or RezSingleAttachmentFromInventory): uses same RezObject() path but attachment=true. AddNewSceneObject() is called without script start (scripts start later in AttachToAgent). See [[OpenSimulator Internals/Walkthroughs/Avatar Rez In Region]].

Coalesced object: multiple SOGs deserialised from one asset, each positioned using the stored offsets from CoalescedSceneObjectsSerializer. Each gets its own DB rows.
