Scripts keep working in no-script area?

Hi all,

We all know that scripts should not work in a no-script area, but recently I've seen some scripts that keep on working, even when you are in a no-script place.

For example, my Mystitool AV radar keeps working great in a no-script place, and the menu button of the Mystitool HUD keeps functioning as well. Also, some chat commands (like Movelock) keep responding and functional.

Another example: My ZHAO animation override HUD has some troubles in a no-script place (like not being able to hide/show buttons, open the menu etc) but the on/off button works as normal.

The same with my HUDDLES EZ animator HUD. The AO on/off button (when minimized) and the minimize/maximize button keeps working. When maximized, the script cannot move the button text to it's location, but I noticed that the buttons on the HUD keep working (for example, when your button is a landmark, it will open the map).

So how is this possible? And is it only HUD related? I created a very very simple HUD (only says some words when being touched) but it refuses to work in a no-script area.

ZHAO is open-source, so I checked how the on/off button works. When touched, it sends a llLinkedMessage, that will trigger the on/off functions in another script. But when I try something similar in my own HUD, it doesn't work in a no-script place.

So anyone have an idea of what's going on? Why doesn't my super simple HUD works and more complex script like the AV radar do??

"The no-script "field" extends only 45m in the air, but only stops scripts from executing if they're not already running when they enter the zone (parcel/region/simulator). (Say, if they're in attachments and the user teleports in, or if the user tries to start a new script.) Scripts that are already running when they enter the zone will still work."

Thank you for your reply. I didn't know about the 45 meter high no-script field, that is good to know. I also thought that it would have something to do with "not stopping already running scripts". But now some other questions remain:

1. When I TP directly into a no-script area, Mystitool radar keeps on working. So I guess TP'ing doesn't stop running scripts in HUDs, and therefore the no-script does not block it (since it is still running?)

2. What exactly *is* a running script? And when does a script *stop*? I mean, my very simple test HUD is running in a script zone, but if I walk a meter from a script area into a no-script area, it stops working. I'm sure I didn't stop the script, so it would have to keep on running and working in the no-script area, just like my Mystitool av radar.

So why-o-why is my own made HUD stopped by the no-script zone? I assume it was "running" since it was waiting to be touched in the script area. And when I'm in a no-script zone, I don't have to "start" it once I walk into a script area.

BTW, I gave the Mystitool HUD a reset in a no-script zone and it stopped working until I moved into a script zone. So that is expected behaviour.
