Scripted item breaks when copy given to new owner

I built a puzzle game and haven't changed any of the default permissions on anything; eventually, I want to sell the item and have no-modify no-copy, so the default perms seemed ok.

Any of the copies I've worked on seem just fine; I can touch parts to activate scripts and play the game, as can others.

However, I gave a copy of the game to another player for testing. But her copy was dead! Nothing worked, not for me, not for her. Touching the parts resulted in nothing.

I really have no idea why... maybe there's something about the permissions system that affects scripts running, I don't know.

Any ideas?

key lastOwner;

default {
    on_rez(integer param) {
        // Reset
        if(llGetOwner() == lastOwner)
            return;
        lastOwner = llGetOwner();
        linkTx("reset", 0);
    }
    // ...
}

I put this code in the jet I sell. That way, whenever someone buys a copy, it resets as soon as they rez it. This makes sure that any code that does an owner check gets refreshed. It is also generally a good idea, as it clears out any variables that may have been set, ensuring the object is at 100% factory settings. The linkTx() call goes to a llMessageLinked() wrapper, so that all the other scripts get reset as well.

Huns:

I'm trying to understand the syntax of LSL... so please do not take this as a criticism of your code:

In your code I see:



Does LSL permit the single item body of the conditional code to exist without the curley braces?

Or should that be:

if(llGetOwner() == lastOwner)
{
return;
}

?

Yes, I pasted that directly from the source.

This will work for most people. Just add this event handler, and everytime your object is rezzed from inventory, the script will reset. This will ensure that all variables, permissions, and owner-specific stuff is reinitialized...

on_rez(integer startup_param)
{
     llResetScript();
}
