old sword script no longer works?

eh everyone, just wondering if there's an update to that old sword script that used to be floating around... from about 2 years ago now i guess but i noticed that it gives an owner permission error now so i'm guessing one of the recent versions caused it to no longer work? anyone happen to have an update or fix for this error? I'll try to post the script later when I'm home from work but that won't be for 8 hours

Hmm okay, this is the script i have... it's very old but anyone have any idea why it doesn't work anymore? I don't get any requests for permission when I wield it and when I remove it, I get a permission not set problem... any help would be kewl, thanks

Isn't this the one that you have to hold down the left mouse button to get it to work? I had forgot about that and thought it stopped working also until someone reminded me.

Yup, thats the one! But, the old lightsabers still work dont they? I swear I used a sword in the current version... yes, I did! About 2 weeks ago.

hmm, will try the click method when I get home... I don't recall having to do that before but that was so long ago... pretty much all my items that had the sword script don't seem to work anymore... such as waste of L$ back when L$ was more scarce

<grumble> didn't work... not sure why this is broken now... kinda upsetting because i guess i need to go through my inventory and delete all the (no copy) (no modify) items that I bought from before... anyone know where I can find a 'working' script so I can put it into the other weapons I wanna swing around?

It's not broken. It's just using an incorrect method of releasing controls. In the attach state, when it is releasing controls from being unattached, it is using "llTakeControls(FALSE,TRUE,TRUE);". Replace this with "llReleaseControls" and the error box won't appear.
