Reset all Scripts on Attach

Hi all (again),

i have an multi-prim object with scripts scattered throughout and am looking for a way to reset all scripts in the prim on attach.

i do have some ideas.

1. on_rez reset in each script (P.I.T.A)

2. a move all the scripts to a single prim & somehow do it that way.


(yes this is related to my "Laser Tag" system)

Do you use states in your scripts? if so you have to have the reset in each state on_rez since you may not know what state the script is in.
You could also use a master control script to reset all other scripts to be on the safe side.

Almost. Use the attach event.

This is basically what i'm looking for.



some of the scripts already have this in them but some don't.

Well, you can use llResetOtherScript(name); for scripts in the same prim. As for the rest in other prims, you will have to either add the aforementioned events, or have the scripts respond to some global linkmessage reset command (like llMessageLinked(LINK_SET,-1,"",""; for example).

Either way, there is no way for a script to forcibly reset another script that is in another prim, even in the same linkset. Also, other scripts that have "crashed" with run-time errors cannot be reset via LSL at all.

exactly what i was looking for. it solves the problem of not having to rewrite about 20 scripts (oh Dear God, took me long enough the first time)

and tidy's up the item putting all the scripts together.


TY

(now i just have to write it.)

Will post if it works.

Why do you have 20 scripts in the object in the first place?

Short answer: Confusion.

Long Answer: some are particles (can't be moved) some are show/hide, & some are animation and i think some are turned off.
they are all distributed around the object in around 5 different prims.

In that case, you could also copy a simple script using llResetOtherScript() into each of those 5 prims. Of course that's just adding more scripts and complication, so it's not the best idea if you ARE willing to add a small snippet to each of those necessary scripts (using either 'on_rez', 'attach', or a link message).

Yeah, I encounter a similar situation... llLinkParticleSystem and llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsWithoutDelay (or llSetListOfPrimitivesParams) would cut the number of scripts in my creations by 50-75%.
