Script stops working on new owner

I have a color change script that brings up a menu with a list of objects to change color on. The user clicks on an item and it brings up a list of colors to choose from.

The scripts work fine as long as I'm the owner of the objects but as soon as I give it to anyone, the first menu comes up but not the second one. I've tried different perms including setting all to modify/copy/transfer for the object and the scripts, but no luck.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Could you post some code? I suspect there's an issue with starting a listener which only applies to the original owner.

Try inserting this event handler into each state, if you have more than one:

changed( integer change )
{
if( change & CHANGED_OWNER )
llResetScript();
}

I suspect there's an issue with starting a listener which only applies to the original owner. This should take care of that.

I'll see what I can do with that. thx.

that got it working. Thank you very much.

Whenever a product changes hands, you should have it reset no matter the reason. The most common is that Listen() events will still be there from the previous owner - ie, llGetOwner won't work.

Actually, llGetOwner() will work, but it's only evaluated at the time it runs. In other words, an llListen that listens to llGetOwner() will listen for the person who is the owner at that time, but it won't update to listen to the owner if it changes in the future.

Thats what I meant >.>

Using something like the following in the on_rez() or attach() events can reset the listen to the current owner without having to reset the script:

            // Setup the listener
            llListenRemove(iListenId);
            iListenId = llListen(iCHANNEL,"",llGetOwner(),"");

Something like the above should be used, rather than a script reset, when any cached variable values are desired to be retained across ownership.
