Script interruptions on teleport?

Has anyone else had reports of scripts ceasing to run after teleporting? I'm not speaking about the animation issue, in both cases I had a customer report that a script in an attachment had stopped working after teleporting (two different scripts, btw). Is this a new SL bug, or could it be due to an issu.e with my scripts?

could be an issue with your customers not realizing they teleported to no-script land?

Well... incidentally, I have had that exact thing happen, it happens if you use complete global coordinates without zeroing the low bytes of X and Y when you teleport... Umm... Maybe there's a new viewer bug somewhere!

Or maybe I love bugs too much

Was it indeed no script land? Did only one person report the problem? Did it happen more than once? What viewer were they using?

Thanks all! I haven't been able to replicate the problem. I sent both customers a new item after I checked the script, and they didn't complain/write back. It certainly could have been tp-ing to a no script area, if it happens again, I'll ask.

I recently had a script stop working after teleport but it started up again a few minutes later. I only saw it once. Lag wasn't so bad that I couldn't move and another script in the same object continued to function, so I have no clue what happened, but I haven't seen it since.

I believe it is now a SL "feature" that all ANIMATIONS are stopped when you teleport. Note that a script may not know when it needs to restart animations, so it may well APPEAR that the script "stops working" when in fact it is happily running, waiting for something new to do (like it does usually).

That's my suspicion anyway; user misunderstanding coupled with bunches of old scripts and scripters out there that don't do re-animation on teleport. I could be wrong though.

Well, this particular thing is kind of a mess at the moment, but a fix is in the works, as described in http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6744. Animations permitted by sitting on a prim are stopped by teleport, but animations permitted due to attachment persisted. Then a bug arose that stopped the attachment-based animations *only* on the viewer of the animated agent. And apparently re-triggering the animation on CHANGED_TELEPORT doesn't reliably work.

The script that stopped for me re-animates after teleport, and in fact that part worked. I hadn't thought about that. Other things the script does stopped, though. Now that I think about it, if timers stopped those other functions would stop working, so maybe that's what happened. Only the timers stopped. For a few minutes.

Thanks all. It sounds as if it's an uncommon glitch, but not unknown. I have only had two reports.

This is separate from the animation issue that Qie referenced, but that JIRA deserves a vote if you haven't already. For my items that use avatar animations (mostly horses), I restart the animation on CHANGED_TELEPORT, but that intermittently doesn't work for some reason (and judging by the JIRA comments, others have seen this as well).

Ah well. Just another day in the life, I suppose.
