Particles not deleting

Ok, maybe this should be in scripting tips or something, but it sure seems like a bug to me. I've recently been messing with some smoke scripts to make a stack on one of my attachment, and having deleted the script I still can't get rid of the smoke particles. It's annoying as hell, because I can't find any sources but the particles are still there. I've tried turning on particle beacons, and there aren't any on my attachments. Tried recompiling, resetting and Not Running scripts on everything, but theres still this stupid trail following me around. Please help?

Blargen, particles are saved in the state of the prim... so there are a couple of things you can do. If you know how to shift-drag to copy a prim, do it with this. In Edit, hold down SHIFT and then click-and-drag on one of the arrow heads. The copy won't have the particles. I'll also send you a simple script to disable particles and other client-side effects that are similarly tricky to get rid of.

Thankyou very much. Wish I'd known this before :/

Welkies! And hey, no worries Blargen--that confused me a lot. There's not a more explanatory way at present, and I'm glad you asked. Will send you the script shortly... just drop it into any prim to stop the particles.

Stop Clientside Effects (just drop this in a prim)

default
 {
 	state_entry()
 	{
 		llParticleSystem([]);
 		llSetText("", <1,1,1>, 1.0);
 		llSetTextureAnim(FALSE | SMOOTH | LOOP, ALL_SIDES, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0.0);
 		llTargetOmega(<0,0,0>, 0, 0);
 	}
 }
 

Torley: don't forget this one, for when a dance ball Just Won't let You Go...

integer i;
list l = llGetAnimationList(llGetOwner());
integer n = llGetListlength(l);

for(i = 0; i < n; i++) llStopAnimation(llList2String(l, i));

That's nifty! Thanx!

Q: How do I get my object to stop emitting particles? I removed the script, but it won't stop.
A: Call llParticleSystem again with an empty list. Particles aren't actually generated by the script; rather, the script only toggles a setting on the prim. This behavior is similar to llSetScale or llSetText -- the scale or text are a part of the object, and will only be changed when a new setting is fed to them. Particles work the same way.

I know I'm forgetting something else that lurks inside a prim but can't think of it...

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetSitText( "" );
        llSetTouchText( "" );
        llParticleSystem( [ ] );
        llSetText( "", ZERO_VECTOR, 1.0 );
        llTargetOmega( ZERO_VECTOR, 0, 0 );
        llSetCameraAtOffset( ZERO_VECTOR );
        llSetCameraEyeOffset( ZERO_VECTOR );
        llSitTarget( ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION );
        llSetTextureAnim( FALSE , ALL_SIDES, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0.0 );
        llOwnerSay("This Prim is Clean... ");
        llRemoveInventory( llGetScriptName() );
        // vanish without a trace... 
    }
} 

Thanx for the completion Jopsy!

Ideally, if these could all be put inside...

BTW--Jopsy, that a Poltergeist reference?

They're heeeeeerrreee!

Two points to Torley! =)
