I was working on a script in Cordova that uses llPushobject intended to push certain objects by name, specifically the objects identified in the following string of code "target_list= [ "Domino", "Pig Gun Ammo.", ">:)", "Bullet" ] ;".

I don't know what happened, I never saw anything since I was standing right next to a cliff wall facing the the cliff wall zoomed in on my shoulder bracelet and had the object editor dialog and the scripting window covering most of the screen at the time at which people were supposedly pushed by my script.

I apologize to anyone I caused a problem to. I was not attempting to make trouble for anyone. I was trying to amuse myself pushing one of the discard cage objects people trap other people in, the object known as ">:)".

One person was saying "hey you want to stop that, i will abuse report you and then crash you." Unfortunately I had no idea they were talking to me since they didn't address me by name or use IMs to send their message. To that person I would offer the following advice: it's a good idea to address one's requests, warnings, and threats to a specific person by name, or better, send an IM. Assuming that they can see you and deduce who chat is directed to just because you have positioned your avatar in the other avatar's visual field is a bad assumption. Once I realized I was being spoken to I asked the speaker what was happening but they were apparently too angry at the time and refused to speak to me. I went to other people and asked them if they were having a problem caused by my script and they reported no problem, but I had already changed the code so that wasn't a good test..

It appears the other person had a friend use a pushobject command on me to knock me into another sim and disconnect me from the server although it is hard to tell what is going on when you are in one instant standing still and the next tossed into the bottom of the water next door in Abbotts. It could well have been the result of someone totally unrelated to my situation.

To the person my bad scripting angered so much I apologize.

Now back to the sandbox to continue my scripting. The changes that reportedly caused a problem were lost when I got dumped by the server. Hopefully I won't make the same mistake again.
