llReleaseControls Problem

I have an RC Boat that was working a few months ago but now seems to be failing.

When llReleaseControls is called the script spits out a warning

RC Pirate ship 1: Unable to find specified agent to request permissions.

Then parts of the script fire but others don't.

The boat resets its position and rotation and is then meant to go non-physical but instead remains physical and has that annoying script error icon.

Is this a known bug or something introduced in one of the last few updates that i have missed?

no help here, but a confirmation of that error seen elsewhere... I saw it in a piggy bank style script, if the av that had given permissions to debit had not been on the sim since their last login.... was strange, since it continued working, and I still haven't figured out why it throws that error

Hmm...I guess that's related in terms of permissions.

Although in my case the item has been re-rezzed many times today, the script has been reset and the order of calls changed to see if that helps.

The weird thing is that it is permissions and a physics status call that are both failing at the same time.

Well I guess I'll continue poking until it fixes itself or someone can shed some more light on it.

Dammit...I feel like such a dolt!

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I had set up a new if test to allow me to dynamically reset the boats starting location.

Changed the if to an else if and voila....working script.

I feel like such a noob :(
