I vaguely recall there being altitudes involved in no-script type situations.

Is there a maximum altitude for the no-script fields, or do they extend up indefinitely?

Also, what's the maximum height of an unmanned scripted object before it gets autodeleted by the system?

I believe no-script extends up to 45 meters above the land.

I dont think there is an maximum height to land-autodelete.

Ahh. 45 meters is all? Nice.

The auto-delete thing was a 'Send an object on a path to the moon, straight up, on your plot of land' thing. Never mind about it though, I realize I can go in and actually check it once my connection isn't tied up. (I know objects have a max limit they can't go past in altitude.)

The no-script limit extends up to 15 meters, not 45. There's also a bug relating to scripted attachments and sim crossings where no-script can get applied to an entire sim.

The maximum altitude for non-attachment objects is 4096 meters. The maximum altitude you can edit things to is 768 meters. I think objects above 768 meters are cleaned up by the server once a day.

i don't know about the cleaning but objects can exist over 768. if they go over 4k they go offworld. 15m above ground is the no script limit...

Ooooooooohkay, dumb question time then:

Why does the following only lift the object to 125.589, and no farther?

From what I thought it would do, it would go up to Z=700, tell me it had reached there, then go up to Z=800, tell me, and then die.

I'm using it on my plot of land.

EDIT: I did some testing, it doesn't go any higher than EXACTLY 130.000. Ever. WHY!?

CODE
vector pos = <0,0,0>;

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        pos = llGetPos();
        while(pos.z < 700)
        {
            llSetPos(<pos.x,pos.y,700>);
            pos = llGetPos();
        }
        llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(),"Reached 700.");
        pos = llGetPos();
        while(pos.z < 800)
        {
            llSetPos(<pos.x,pos.y,800>);
            llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(),(string)llGetPos());
            pos = llGetPos();
        }
        llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(),"Reached 800.");
        llDie();
    }
}

for starters llSetPos is limited to 512 meters.

Seems as though LL secretly reduced that to 130m.

EDIT: Also, I just flew to someone's no-script land, and flew past the cloud layer. The no-script icon stayed on. Is that normal? Is it certain that there IS an upper limit any more?

Wasn't it Bernouli who solved the problem of why water pumps only worked to about 10m?

I think this may be the same issue, something about the weight of the atmosphere or sumptin.

The icon goes up to infinity. If you were wearing a scripted attachment, it would stop working once you drop below 15m, and start working again once you get back up. Any events that would have happened while in the no-script zone are queued and processed as soon as scripting starts up again.

Ok, can anyone tell me why changing -just- the 700 and 800 in the while loops to 400 and 500 'fixes' the script? Remember, I'm leaving the 700 and 800 in the llSetPos.
