on_rez problem

Hi,

I'm trying to do what I believe is simple in LSL; cause a custom sound effect to play when an avatar arrives after teleporting. I've made a little attachment to be worn and put the following into it:

default
{
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llTriggerSound("transporter", 1.0);
    }  
}

The script fires nicely when first attached, but then does absolutely nothing else after any teleporting. I'm probably missing something really obvious, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Andy

From the Wiki page for llTriggerSound:



Try llPlaySound instead.

Hi Ziggy,

Thanks, I tried your suggestion, but to no avail. In fact nothing seems to fire in my on_rez event after a teleport; I tried testing it with llSay, changing the attachments color etc etc. It seems to my eye that on_rez is simply *not* firing after a teleport.

Thanks for your swift reply. It's a mystery

That's weird, I thought on_rez was supposed to trigger on teleport. And I'm pretty sure I have attachments that do that. Have you tried taking out the llTriggerSound call and leaving just the llSay in there? Maybe something else is going wrong, and your script is stuck playing the sound, and so doesn't get to process the new on_rez event?

Also, make sure you're not teleporting to a parcel which has scripts disabled.

make sure you're doing cross-sim teleporting. The new short range teleports don't detach and re-attach everything.

The cross-sim tip was very helpful, cheers. That was part of it. I also needed to throw an llSleep() in there to allow things time. Not sure why, the Wiki didn't mention that (although may have missed it).

Many thanks!

Andy
