Basically on storing a string of 2180 characters in the object description, I found that on reading it back, initially randomly, it only read back 255 characters. I wrote a second script on a clean object to prove the error. On testing with some friends, i found that the object is fine, as long as no one touches it or clicks it (even if it has no touch event handlers). As soon as somone clicks on the object, the string read back is then truncated to 255 characters. The following script was used on the object. string sString = ""; integer iRequiredLength = 3000; integer iActualLength = 0; string sBlank10 = "0123456789"; default { state_entry() { //Get the string from the description sString = llGetObjectDesc(); //wait a bit to ensure the description has be loaded llSleep(2.0); //get the length of the loaded string iActualLength = llStringLength(sString); llWhisper(0,"On start of state_entry string length is " + (string)iActualLength + " chracters."); //if the string length is not the requiredlength then create new string if (iActualLength != iRequiredLength) { llWhisper(0,"We require a string built that is " + (string)iRequiredLength + " characters."); //form a new string of the require length integer x = 0; integer p = iRequiredLength / 10; sString = ""; //build the string (in blocks of 10 characters at a time) for (x = 1; x <= p; x++) { sString = llInsertString(sString, x*10, sBlank10); } //get the length of the newly formed string iActualLength = llStringLength(sString); llWhisper(0,"Newly formed string length is " + (string)iActualLength + " chracters."); //Write this string to the description field llSetObjectDesc(sString); //Wait a second or two llSleep(2.0); //Reset the string sString = ""; iActualLength = llStringLength(sString); llWhisper(0, "The newly formed string has been reset to " + (string)iActualLength + " characters."); //wait a bit more to be sure to be sure llSleep(2.0); } //Now Read back to ensure the description has the string sString = llGetObjectDesc(); //wait again to ensure the string has been loaded llSleep(2.0); //get the length of the loaded string iActualLength = llStringLength(sString); llWhisper(0, "On Finish of state_entry string length is " + (string)iActualLength + " characters."); //Wait a tiny bit longer llSleep(2.0); //Reset the script, and let it go round again llResetScript(); } }
