Okay, what am I missing?!

This is a chiming script I adapted from Ceera's Westminter Clock script. I have my clock hands working fine so I'm not going to replace those, but wanted to get the clock chiming on the hour. The UUID's below I took out as they are my sounds and not freebies..anyhow, it is not chiming(at all, never mind on the hour). What have I missed and thanks for the help! (I tried llTriggerSound too, but nada).

// adapted from Ceera's Westminster Clock, with hour chimes
// Based on simple clock by Beverly Larkin etc
integer H;
integer M;
string chimeA = "UUIDhere";
string chimeBong = "UUIDhere";

getTime()
{
    integer T = (integer)llGetWallclock();
    if (T > 43200)
    {
        T = T - 43200;
        H = T / 3600;
        M = (T - (H * 3600)) / 60;
    if(H == 0)
    {
        H = 12;
    }
}
else
{
    H = T / 3600;
    M = (T - (H * 3600)) / 60;
if(H == 0)
{
    H = 12;
}
}
}

chimeCheck()
{
    if(M == 59)
    {
        llPreloadSound( chimeA );
        llSleep(10);
        llPreloadSound( chimeBong );
        llSleep(2);
    }
    
    if(M == 0)
    {
        llSetSoundQueueing(FALSE);
        llPlaySound(chimeA, 0.5);
        llSleep(10);
        integer i = 0;
        for (; i < H; ++i)
        {
            llPlaySound(chimeBong,0.5);
            llSleep(2);
        }
    }
    
}


default
{
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(60);
    getTime();
    chimeCheck();
}

timer()
{
getTime();
chimeCheck();
}
}

Just a thought: when you're using UUIDs, the original object needs to have copy-perms, afaik...

ah! I shall check that thanks!

mm. k, that wasn't the problem..still not working.
any other suggestions anybody?

IIRC sound fallof distance is affected by the size of the prim it's in, so there's one possible culpript

I can't remember for sure, but I believe that any sound with the same uuid will not play over itself if called, and may not play after itself within a certain frame of time.

also you timer runs ever 60 seconds, but it there's time dilation on the sim, then it's possible the sounds will never be preloaded, or never be triggered for that particular hour.

additionally the entire time function can be simplified

getTime(){
  integer T = (integer)llGetWallClock() % 43200;
  M = T % 3600 / 60;
  T /= 3600;
  H = T +  (0 == T) * 12;
}

The on_rez() event is not called when you save or reset a script... with this script, you will need to take the object into inventory and re-rez before the timer is started.

Try setting your timer in a state_entry() event, and it should chime.

As for any problem with overlapping chimes, you could call llTriggerSound() instead of llPlaySound() and they should overlap fine.

Thanks Boss, I'll give that a go

Ha! that worked Boss!.. it was a wee bit delayed by lag I guess, but it did kick in in about 15 seconds after the hand hit the hour, so cool beans and thanks

lol totally missed that.
