Permissions

Your bot has to own the parcel, or have some of the following permissions:

  • Parcel identity > “Change parcel name, description, and 'Moderate Content' setting”

  • Parcel settings > “Change music & media settings”

  • Parcel Management > “Set land for sale info”

Important: Second Life requires you to re-log the avatar when you change the parcel group abilities. Relog the bot after changing them.

Selling parcel

This function can be used to set the sale price of a parcel:

// See "LSL Helper Functions" page for this function
smartbotsAPI("parcel_info_update", [
  // No x and y given, this sells parcel under the bot
  "sale", "on",
  "saleprice", 1500,
  // Optional parameter
  "sellto", "cd93067e-7c4e-41c0-ba91-be01f4bafe35"
]);

Checking parcel update results

Second Life does not notify the bot if the parcel update was successful.
To ensure accuracy, the bot:

  1. Updates the parcel.

  2. Re-reads parcel details from SL.

  3. Compares them with expected values.

If your bot lacks necessary permissions (e.g., "Set landing point and set teleport routing"), the expected parcel data may not match the actual parcel details, resulting in an API error.

Return values

Use the API testing suite to test this API function.

The command returns:

result = OK

if the parcel update succeeded.
