A customer said the texture change script in her chairs was not working -- but the same script was working in the dining table.
So she sends me the chair, and the script is gone. The sit script is still there. She says no one has mod perms and no one but her has touched them.
Anyone have any idea how a script could just disappear?

The owner deleted it by accident?
I've not heard of scripts actually disappearing from the world, and leaving the object behind, anyway. |

I've heard of items in prim contents not showing up immediately, but that's usually all or nothing (except when contents change, and the new item is slow to show)

There were 8 chairs -- a total of 16 prims with this script in it, so if she deleted it, it was on purpose. She seemed genuinely bewildered.
But I guess she must have methodically removed them all for some reason -- guess I will never know. |

Does the script self destruct?
llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName()); ---- There is another possibility that you haven't considered, probably because you don't entertain as much cynicism as I do. Welcome to Paranoia. Your sit target script is copy-trans. Your coloring script is (no-mod)-(no-copy)-trans. The object is mod-(no-copy)-trans. They have found a prim you distributed that is mod-copy-trans. It was probably a product box or other such useless item. They used this prim as the feed prim for an object cloner, copying object attributes and textures. However the only script that was copy was the sit target, so thats the only script that got copied. The only difference (I think) will be the acquired date for the scripts in the prims. The beauty of it is that it is hard to detect and harder to track down. I've been watching this loophole for years, waiting for the poo to hit the fan. _____________________

some aquired dates (I've seen it on mega prims) erroneously report the creation date... further adding to the bugginess

No the script doesn't self destruct. I don't understand the cloner part -- just as well I suppose. At one time when I first made the chairs, I accidentally put a copy version of the texture change script in the chairs. But the sit one has always been trans. Don't know if that is a clue. In any case, she got a set of 8 brand new chairs.

did the customer actually tell you the script(s) disappeared before they sent it to you? if the contents of a trans prim are no trans, you can sometimes still transfer the prim, but the contents won't go with it
