People - call me thick (I'm sure you will) but I just can't get my head around how 'on_rez' works (yes I've read Wiki) How to set up the arg or parameters etc - I can open and close my door but getting the script to reset !!! using on_rez ....

Can anyone point me to a simplistic 'Mickey Mouse' examples or tutorials on using this function.

Pleeeeze

on_rez
11-27-2006 06:22
CODE

on_rez
{
llResetScript;
}
}


or put whatever command you want in where the llResetScript is, then when you rez our object, it will do whatever it is told in the "on_rez" handle

Just remember that they are state specific.
Each state needs its own handler or it will ignore it.

actually it would be llResetScript(); not llResetScript;

Kale?

So that code is correct now? :)

Shouldn't it be?:

CODE

on_rez(integer start_param)
{ 
    llResetScript(); 
}

and he forgot about the start parameter.

like this:


CODE
on_rez(integer start_param)
{ 
    llResetScript(); 
}

On rez is a function that is called when ever the object is put into the world from a inventory. or when someone logs in wearing the item containing the script.

The on rez will give you parimiter that will tell you well i dont know i dont care really i just throe int blahh in there :P

If you want the script to go back over the state entry you can do a llResetScript(); like the others said.
if your havfing problems with a door
i would use a timer event on touch.

The parameter is for use when the object is being rezzed by other objects. I usually use it for setting comms channels between rezzer and rezzee.

Newgate's quite right. To expand a little further, the llRezObject and llRezObjectAtRoot functions both have a parameter variable in their description. That value gets passed to the rezzed object. If you rez "by hand" so to speak, it will be 0.

One of the commonest uses is probably to code a listen channel. You can also encode a vector with integer or known and limited dp's into it uniquely and other things.

Thanks people - I'll need to digest this.

I'd already tried:

on_rez(integer start_param)
{
llResetScript();
}

also

on_rez(integer arg)


And while it compiled OK it did nothing so it must be where I am placing it in the script.

Anyway - I will digest what you have said and try again

To better demonstrate what's going on, use the tried and true programmers debug tool... have the script blather on about what it's doing!

CODE

 default {
 	state_entry() {
 	   llOwnerSay("Whee!  doing state_entry()!");
 	}
 
 	on_rez(integer start_param) {
 	   llOwnerSay("Huzzah!  doing on_rez()!  start_param = " 
 						  + (string)start_param );
 	   llResetScript();  // which will cause state_entry() to run again!
 	}
 
 	object_rez(key id) {
 	   llOwnerSay("Hey!  This script just rezzed something from its prim's contents! The new object's new key is: "
 						 + (string) id );
 	   // (which of course won't happen with this script as it is now.)
 	 }
 }


Anyway, watch your chat history when you compile the script on a prim... when you rez the prim in world.... or wear it... and such. You'll get a solid idea of when on_rez() happens pretty quickly. :)

Is it possible to both reset the script and keep the start_param value?

I'm just going to have to take some other approach - I've tried your suggested test script and it doesn't work for me - compiles - says the first llOwnerSay line and then nothing - I've tried other example scripts that others have sent me or I've pilferred but while they all compile - nuffin -

Thanks for the try - think I'll go back to Rocket Science

Tarak, if you post your code, we can probably help you more.

Getting a bit frustrated here - even the test scripts don't seem to work for me!? - and the Telecom people have just dug up the cable meaning I have to go to a mates place every time I want to test anything

I've enclosed what I'm trying to do in a flowchart format - it is only the reset that is causing me problems.

I've tried everything above but nothing seems to work when it come to on_rez.

I dont see where on_rez comes into the diagram? What are you rezzing?

From the diagram it would appear that all you want to do is call llResetScript after performing your actions

Prim A
CODE



string MESSAGEA = "MESSAGE A";
string MESSAGEB = "MESSAGE B";
integer CHANNEL = 9999;
default
{
   state_entry()
    {
         // Init?
    }

    on_rez(integer num)
    {
         llResetScript();
    }

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
         llSay(CHANNEL,MESSAGEA);
    }
}


other prim

CODE


string MESSAGEA = "MESSAGE A";
string MESSAGEB = "MESSAGE B";
CHANNEL = 9999;

DoActionA()
{
}

DoActionB()
{
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(CHANNEL,"","",MESSAGEA);
        llListen(CHANNEL,"","",MESSAGEB);
    }

    on_rez(integer num)
    {
         llResetScript();
    }
    
    listen(integer number, string name, key id, string message)
    {
         if(MESSAGEA == message)
         {
             DoActionA();
             llResetScript();
         }
         else
         {
             DoActionB();
             llResetScript();
         }
    }
}

Tail between legs time - thanks - sometimes one can't see the wood for the trees.

No worries.
And no need to be disheartened. Sometimes you get to wrapped up in a problem, 'tunnel vision' sets in and you really cannot see the solution. happens to all of us.

One question, why do you need to reset the script after each action?

Just a suggestion.. if those two prims are linked, it's much better to use llMessageLinked() to send and link_message() to receive.

(listens tend to have a bad reputation for contributing to lag)

Very True, I had assumed from the original posting that they are not but....
