Feature Request - Leash and Holder Interactability

[JennGoodman]

The feature was originall suggested in OC R&D by Zia Satazaki (kiri.mistwalker)

Proposed Functionality

The original ask was that the leash holder could know when a leash is active. Presumably to show/hide the leashholder when the leash is activated/hidden.

This could be expanded upon if implemented in a specific way to enable much more interactions with many different objects such as: Collars, Cuffs, Clothes, Leashholders, Furniture, among many other things.

Proposed Implementation

I would suggest the implementation be done as a 'heartbeat' type system whereby a message is output by the collar on a timer to a chat channel during leash active state. This message can announce not only that a leash is active, but which owner UUID and collar Owner UUID is being connected. As a heartbeat, it helps alleviate issues with parcel/sim crossings and teleporting, because the state is being refreshed during the active leashing to all the other objects. Slave objects could simply have a timeout for their activity, as well as there being a message sent when the leash is released. The collar could potentially output other data to support even more environment interactions as ideas come forward.
