Problem with script I added to an object :(

Hi everyone!

I have a problem. I'm new to SL, and I am not scripting myself.

I bought one of those nice reminder objects by Pendari Lorentz (scripted by Oz Spade). I thought I'd be clever and add a jetpack script to it, so that I don't have to wear the jetpack itself, just the reminder. I grabbed the "Jet Pack Script" out of my free scripts folder and put it in the reminder content folder. Unfortunately it was actually a particle script and purple fog started coming out of my new, attached reminder.

Of course, I deleted the script from the content folder, but that didn't stop the purple fog. I tried detaching the reminder object, logged out several times, but every time I attach the reminder, the purple fog is still going, although the script is definitely not in the object.

Can someone help me out somehow? Thanks very much in advance!

hmm this has happen to me before, I am trying to remember what I did...
Here are some options you can try..

- put the item in your inventory , relog, then attach
- remove the script and put it in a new object
- reset the scripts
- IM Pendari and explain the situation, more then likely she will give you a new one.

I am sorry I don't know an easy way to fix this, or even if there is one...

The problem with particles is that removing the script won't turn them off.

You need to create a particle script, put it in the object, and set the particle count to 0.

Then they'll turn off. Detaching and reataching wil have no effect whatsoever.

You can try something like:

default
{
state_entry()
{
llParticleSystem([]);
}
}

But I'm writing that from memory without testing it so it might work but it might not.

Thank you so much, everyone!

It's fixed.

After reading Sensual Casanova's post, I put the script into a different object. Nothing happened, so I teleported and upon arrival I noticed that an error message (something to do with the jetpack script) came up. I had gotten that same message when I first teleported with the reminder attached, which is also when the fog started.

Soo, to make a long story short, after having taken the jetpack script out of the reminder object, I teleported somewhere. Upon arrival the jetpack script couldn't do it's thing, because it wasn't there anymore, and the particles were gone.

Thanks a lot for your advice, I appreciate your superquick replies!

BTW, I could really use one of those reminders, do you have the cords to location they are sold at?

I got mine at Clovers Boardwalk, Tower 2, Floor 2... Pendari's booth.

I'm not sure how to read my location there, but setting a landmark at the booth says Clyde (132,144). Sistiana (108,55) is Pendari's Boutique. Hope that's enough info to get you there.
