Help with reported error?

I've had an IM from someone who's bought a slideshow viewer I sell, and he's claiming that he occasionally gets a message that the script has been "run too many times"?

Was wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to what I should be looking for. The main parts of the script involve link messages, and menu dialogues listening via random channels.

Thanks in advance!

Unless you have a specfic llSay or llOwnersay in the scripts that have a message stating "run too many times", then no I have never encountered such a warning. This is from someone who in testing every now and then uses recursion to push the limits and may run several hundred cycles in a short period of time. Unless someone pops up here with an idea of what is going on, I would suggest hitting up the jira with a query.

You must ask your customer for more specific information: is it certain the message is coming from your script? in what situations does it show?
If you are the creator of the viewer you must know if the phrase: "run too many times" is in the script somewhere?
Happy hunting

you say you're using dialogs with random channels. are you removing the listen before creating the new one? it could be encountering too many listens. although the error would be just that. they're probably getting "run time error" and just passing the message on to you incorrectly. as far asi know everyone can see script errors, have you gone to where he has the slideshow to see if maybe it is coming from something else?

Thanks for all the replies!

The report of the error came with the addition "or something like that", so I suspect the message was passed on inaccurately.

There certainly is no such message contained in the code

Too many listens was an issue in an earlier version but thought I'd fixed that.. will have another look!

You may consider this approach to your listens e.g.

integer handle; // edit: note that this is a global!
...then...
   llListenRemove(handle); // if the handle is invalid this does nothing so it's safe
   handle = llListen(.....);

You can be sure that only one listen will ever be used, and not inadvertently kill sims with rogue scripts.
