I have a vender it rezzes a catapult with a few things in alpha clear so its not noticaibal till you fire it but the arm on the catapult seems to be missing about a fourth of the time. whys that ? working on a work around that counts the parts but if its a bug I should report it.

You may not actually be missing pieces... Try moving to another sim, logging out, logging back in, and returning...
All the parts may be there, but not visible to you...

very strange in the edit it says it has 38 prims thats what it looks like too I left the sim came back still 38 prims 38 visible 38 in edit mode I added a script that tells me the number of prims in it it says there 39. So it knows it has 39 just not getting that info to my pc?

This has bothered me a lot because in large builds, you might not notice what's missing until later on... it can be rather disturbing to rez a fortress and discover later a few "random" chunks are missing. Wish there was an error message to let you know that not all the pieces could come out right.
Similar case for applying multiple textures to multiple prims all at once... I think that prob is still around, if you select something like 100 prims (or less?) and then RETEXTURE all, some will invariably be skipped.
I once did some tests grabbing linksets of 2000 prims and when I rezzed them back out, yup, chunks all over the place. For my Ahk Delorean, it was NOT PRETTY!

well thats sorta sucky I was just adding a script that will delete it and remove you from the game if you leave the area. so the game wont be stuck if the person leaves before its over, but if you have to go out of the area if you cant see the buttons I guess I'll have to refund the cash too. thats a whole new way to get out of paying for a game. argh ok is there a way to make sure that the whole catapult is there for the player whose sposed to use it. cause I was thinking i'd have it count the prims but thats not gonna show it.

You are going to HATE me for saying this, but I have a work around. Have a catapult that rezzes parts of itself over 10 seconds. You rez the core box, and that rezzes the base. that rezzes the arm, that rezzes the... Yup. You hate me.

Just have the prims update themselves a bit after rez... a subtle shift in color will do that.
