Hi,

Just wondering what specific steps one should be taking (if any) to ensure a multi-object/script system continues to function ok across a sim restart? Any ideas/guideline suggestions?

For example assuming script state is persisted/maintained across a sim restart does the "on_rez()" trigger, and hence should we use "on_rez()" accordingly here?

Tks

Although I've never actually directly tested it I'm 99% sure that on_rez doesn't trigger after a restart. There might be different types of restart though...

Normally it rolls back to saved state, that includes all script states etc. I've not seen one that doesn't, although I have to wonder about 1.7 - that seemed to break every xml-rpc channel so I suspect something funny went on.

I have at least one script, that I have to restart every time SL crashes, is updated and so on. So, I am pretty sure, that a sim-restart can hold, break or otherwise influence a script.

I have not diagnosed it in detail. (I use it only in a single instance.)

A sim restart will stop a script's execution middle-event, rolling it back to the state it was in before triggering that event. Or at least, that's what experience showed me

Unless it was a planned restart, in which case the script state is stored along with everything else in the sim right before the shutdown, and the script resumes right where it left off after the restart.
