It's possible the problem is with this line:

To release controls it should be using 'llReleaseControls()' or possibly:

I usually do both (in a place I know permissions have in fact been granted), one after the other (though technically I guess only the first is necessary).

Ok, now im not getting that problem, but now, how do I actually "use" the sword? how do I swing it and the other stuff?

It's probably the fairly common freebie katana which has been around a while and the script can be buggy sometimes, thought it should work for the most part.

To use it, just hold down the left mouse button and move around or jump and you will do varous attacks. Ok, so maybe not various, there is really only one built-in sword swinging animation. XD

Part of the problem and this seems common with a lot of the freebie scripts. It only requests permissions from the original owner and so if its passed on to someone else they can't use it and get an error message like that. The quick and dirty fix for any item where the permissions doesn't seem to work (or it won't listen to you like some titlers that set a listen for only their owner) is to put this code in:

on_rez(integer start_param)
{
     llResetScript();
}

If there's already an on_rez event just add the llResetScript(); call at the end of it. This isn't alway the ideal solution but is the quick and dirty one.
