 Description  « Hide
When an avatar crosses into a parcel ban red line, especially when driving a vehicle will cause avatar to lose complete control of keyboard, and vehicle completely disabled. It often requires relog to clear the crash. Sometimes TP out of it may work, but most of the time, it doesn't, and require relog. After crashes, even if you retrieve the vehicle back, the script is often completely unusable even if you try to reset the script (if you have permission). If the vehicle has no-modify, it is un-resetable, and becomes completely useless, losing the vehicle and needed to throw the vehicle out completely.

Ideally, the parcel ban line should act as if it is a physical wall, so if an avatar or a vehicle crashes into it, it would cause a collision and bounces back, just like bouncing back from a brick wall rather than completely disabling the avatar or the vehicle, allowing the vehicle penetrates deep into the parcel, or sometimes goes out of the world to infinity. This would reduce losing vehicles, getting the owner mad when they discover abandoned vehicles in their property, and frustrating relogs for the user.

Also, it would be nice that the system gives the user a warning message to the avatar (or vehicle) as they approach a banned parcel by a beep or some early-warnings.

This issue was resolved as "Needs More Info" during a batch clean-up of PJIRA issues.

Reason: for an extended length of time, this bug seems to be missing enough details (reproducible steps) for Linden Lab to import the bug and investigate. Also the last affected version of the viewer on this report is viewer 1.21 or 1.20, 1.19, or even earlier, which are versions that are no longer actively supported.

It is possible that this bug is indeed valid and should remain open-- however, Linden Lab needs the following pieces of information before it is Reopened:

To reopen, please do all of the following:

(1) It is very important to confirm that this bug still occurs in the latest official version 1.23. Please upgrade to that version by browsing to http://get.secondlife.com , and test if you can still reproduce the bug using Viewer 1.23.

(2) If so, then please Reopen this issue and BE SURE to choose the "Affects Version/s" = 1.23

(3) Also, re-describe the steps that another person can follow to experience this bug. An example of a good "recipe" for a bug report can be found here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Issue_tracker#Guidelines_for_a_bug_report

(4) Come and attend the inworld bug triages, where you can meet with Linden Lab employees to consider, verify, and expedite bugs for fixing. For more information, see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Bug_triage

Thank you for helping us improve Second Life!

How to reproduce the bug:
  • Fly any vehicle
  • Find a banned parcel
  • Fly the vehicle into the banned parcel at high speed
  • Vehicle gets stuck
  • Avatar lost complete control of the keyboard input (i.e., cannot move at all)

Reproduce bug, case 2:

  • Fly any vehicle
  • Find a parcel with a security orb (created by the infamous notorious jerk in SL who sells security orb as a griefing device, which should be banned.)
  • Set that security orb to eject anyone flying within their scan range
  • Fly your vehicle into the security orb range
  • Vehicle gets stuck
  • You are ejected from the vehicle
  • Your avatar is disabled entirely (keyboard control does not work, you cannot move whatsoever)

Your only hope:

  • Relog
