Description

« Hide

llSetScriptState() can be used to toggle on and off scripts that are not needed to help lower lag, however if you teleport, relog, or detach the object while it's state is set to not-running the non-running script will do a hard reset when it is turned on again.

This makes the function usless for pausing scripts attached to avatars when those scripts need to remember infomation.

eg: Teleport history HUD with a minimize button that pauses the hud. If you teleport while it is paused it will reset and lose all data!

REPRO

1) Place the below two scripts into an object.
2) let it count up for a minute.
3) touch it. note it pauses.
4) touch again and note it will continue where it stopped. (this is expected behaviour)

5) Touch the object to pause the counter again.
6) Take the object into inventory while it is still paused.
7) Rez the object in world again. note it is still paused.
8) Touch object to restart the counter. Note the count is reset. (unexpected results = BUG)

9) Test with teleport and relog while paused for same unexpected results.

//
// This script toggles on and off the counter script
//
// Name this script "control"
//
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if (llGetScriptState("counter") == FALSE)
        {
            llSetScriptState("counter", TRUE);
        }
        else
        {
            llSetScriptState("counter", FALSE);
            llSetText("paused",<1,0,0>,1);
        }
    }
}

//
// This script counts up continuesly, unless paused or reset
//
// Name this script "counter"
//
// If this script is turned off when you teleport/detach/relog it will incorrectly reset
//
integer count;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "script reset");
        llSetTimerEvent(1);
    }
    timer()
    {
        count = count + 1;
        llSetText((string)count,<1,1,1>,1);
    }
}
