I have a simple script running at my store that sends me a message when somebody arrives. It runs for a couple of days and then just stops. Is anybody else seeing long-running scripts just stop?

Yes, I find some scripts need to be reset occasionally. This could be due to buggy scripting - don't know, can't get in to see those ones. Luckily my own scripted items, and the vendors they sell in, haven't had this problem.

Depends on what the script is designed to do, but no, I have not seen a script simply "stop" running without a rational cause, like an error.

You're not keeping a log of everything inside the script are you? If you are it's possible that you're running out of memory and the script is crashing.

Hi!

Something similar happens to me but not the same.

I have a script running in a object. And I have copies of that object in my inventory. When I rez a copy of that it doesn't work (running checkbox selected).

Does someone now why should it happen?

Thanks.

Would have to see the script to know, really.

There's no normal reason it shouldn't work on rez, unless you are rezzing it in a no-script zone or something, but that is not normal.

If you have never taken and rezzed the in world item that works, you may have an on_rez event that is wiping out stuff you actually need to run the script.

Right -- these sound like script bugs. With so little information provided, we can't help much.

A few Items I make are designed to only run once. If you take them into inventory then rerez them they self delete.
