even when I uncheck the "running" box, even when I delete the script from the object... How do I make it stop? I don't want to delete the prim it's in. Any solution welcomed!

What is the script doing?

If it is particles or floating text, that is set into the prim and becomes a property of it....

to turn them off use the follow:

particles? llParticleSystem([]);

floating text? llSetText("", <0,0,0>, 0);

There are some things that aren't really "the script", they are properties of the prim that the script changes. This includes particles, sounds, and floating text as well as other properties. I've got a set of utility scripts to reset most of these, I'll drop a folder on your profile next time I'm in-world if you like.

If you unchecked the "Running" box, and/or deleted the script from the prim, and you still think it is running, then I'm guessing that either it is still generating particles or else still has some hover text. That is because both of these attributes are set once by a script, and then become part of the prim's attributes, even if the script is deleted.

If its hover text, try adding a script that executes the line :

llSetText("", <1,1,1>, 1);

If its particles that are being generated, then you need :

llParticleSystem([]);

Hi and thanks for these clues. I made a waterfall so there is moving texture (water), spray (particles) and sound... all three are running.
If I could turn them off/on at will, then I could lighten the load on the servers, I guess.
I would appreciate anyone sending me a script that could do this.
Thanks
