There's got to be a better, more elegant way to do this... I'm trying to make an object called "emitter" that will spawn a temp-on-rez object, and once that temp-on-rez object is cleaned up/ disappears, make it spawn another one in it's place. Basically, I made our temp-on-rez object (named "Objection"  speak on channel -1999 every 3 seconds. And the emitter listens, and when it hasn't heard this in more than 3 seconds, assumes that the temp on rez object has vanished and creates another one. However, I want this to be as seamless as possible, having it do this every 3 seconds is a clunky way of doing it. I was thinking I could use a sensor, but wouldn't that be just as detrimental to have it scan for the object every 3 seconds? The emitter script integer statcount;
default
{
state_entry()
{
statcount = 0;
llListen(-1999,"","","IObject!");
llSetTimerEvent(3);
}
listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string mess)
{
statcount = 1;
}
timer()
{
if (statcount == 0)
{
llOwnerSay((string)statcount);
llRezObject("Objection",llGetPos()+<0,0,1>,ZERO_VECTOR,ZERO_ROTATION,999);
statcount = 1;
}
else
{
statcount = 0;
}
}
touch_start(integer nada)
{
llOwnerSay((string)statcount);
}
}
And the temp-on-rez object, called "Objection" default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(3);
}
timer()
{
llSay(-1999, "IObject!");
}
}

If you want an object to be permanent, the best way to do it is by not using the TEMP_ON_REZ option. Cheating the system and creating a "permanent" TEMP_ON_REZ object--while easily doable--hurts the sim and your neighbors.
That said...if you're determined...just re-rez the object every 79 seconds on a timer.

You're right, I'm probably better off just not using temp on rez... Include a script in the temp-on-rez object to die after 79 seconds. The timing won't necessarily be *exact*, but should be close, no?

If you're going to do this, *please* make the rezzing prim clickable to turn it off when you're not there. It's one thing to enjoy running scripts when you're using them, but it's another to simply forget that it's not a permanent object and leave it re-rezzing all the time.
That having been said, I've done this on occasion with high-prim horses from McLean, and 79 sec timer worked well.
