Scripts in no-script areas

I was wondering what the basic requirements are for a script to continue working in a no script area, providing it was started somewhere else. I know that in scripts were controls are taken, the script will continue to work in no script areas.

However, I have a script that does not need to take controls. It is a HUD that merely responds to being touched and sends out a chatted message to another worn object that listens for it. I noticed today that it stops working when I enter a no-script area. Is the only way to fix this to request permission to take controls even though they aren't needed. Am I missing something else to keep this working in no-script areas?

Yes. Or operate something like 40+ meters above ground level, where the no-script parcel flags have no effect. Not sure about whole sims that have scripts turned off.

the function llTakeControls can do the trick to run scripts in no script areas

CODE

// www.lsleditor.org  by Alphons van der Heijden (SL: Alphons Jano)
default{

state_entry() 
  { llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS); 
  }


run_time_permissions(integer perms)
{
if (perms & PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS) 
        { 
         }
}

}

PS: not checked inworld.

It appears that some scripts that I have do not run in *some* no-script areas even with requesting/taking controls. I have not been able to figure out why the same script runs in one location and not in another (both no-script areas).

Are you sure the script requests perms and does the llTakeControls _before_ you enter the no-script land?
