Contents visible in object properties (die scripts)

If you've ever made an object that has a quick die script, and then tried to edit the script inside, you've probably had this trouble. We can't view scripts unless the object is rezzed, therefore we have to rez the object to try and turn the script off. The problem is, if we have a die script on these objects, it's often impossible to stop the script from running before the die kicks in. A solution I thought of was to be able to view contents in an object's properties... This way you could disable the script externally.

... or rez the object on no script land
... or attach the object.

Or if the object is supposed to be rezzed by another object, make it pass a non-zero start_param when rezzing the object, and check to see if start_param is non-zero in on_rez, and if so, start the timer (or whatever) that makes the object die.

what Gabriel was saying.....
CODE
default {
     on_rez(integer parameter) {
          if (parameter) {
               llDie(); // or whatever....
          } else {
               llResetScript(); // or whatever....
          }
     }
}


then when you use llRezObject make sure the last integer you use is greater than 0. i ran into this same thing on my current project. lost my whole object the first time i needed to make a change to it. :D
