llTargetOmega script?

I have a script that will rotate a child prim when touched, then stops. rotates back the other way when touched again and then stops. I am using "llTargetOmega(<1,0,0>, 2.0, 1.0);" to start the rotation and then "llTargetOmega(<1,0,0>, 0.0, 0.0);" to stop it. Works fine when I install the script and save it. But if I take the object and rez it again the rotation doesn't work anymore. I have to resave the script to get it to work. Any ideas why I am having this problem? I need this script to work on a newly rezzed object.

Consider yourself lucky it works the first time. Since the last update I cannot see rotation with any object that uses llTargetOmega() at all. Friends see the rotation, I do not. llTargetOmega() seems to have been borked good in all kinds of ways....

yes, add

on_rez(integer start_param)
{
     llTargetOmega(<1, 0, 0>, 2.0, 1.0);
}

to your code. This will tell it when rezzed to start the spin. Right now in just state_entry it does work because the script does not enter that event when you rez somehting. Or use llResetScript() in the on_rez event as well.

Thanks for the tip. It seems to work OK, most of the time now. A bit intermittent.

I'm certain it is a bug. I have an attachment that picks a new random axis for 'llTargetOmega()' every 2 seconds. Or it is supposed to anyway. At times it gets stuck not rotating at all and I have to edit the object and then exit edit mode to get it to rotate. And it ALWAYS gets stuck on one fixed rotation after a short period. I think this might be after it is newly attached (from wear or login/TP; whatever). The only dependable way to get it to start switching again is to edit the script, change it, and re-save. Resetting the script does NOT always work. I've been meaning to Bug Report this for a while. I'm doing it now.

Here is the script:

float TIMER_PERIOD = 2.0;
float ANGULAR_SPEED = 6.0;

changeRotation()
{
    float xComp = llFrand(1.0);
    float yComp = llFrand(1.0);
    float zComp = llFrand(1.0);
    
    vector dir = llVecNorm(<xComp, yComp, zComp>);
    
    llTargetOmega(dir, ANGULAR_SPEED, 0.1);
    
    // Note: Uncomment this line and you will see output even though the axis stops changing.
    //llOwnerSay("DEBUG - Changing spin axis.");
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        changeRotation();
        llSetTimerEvent(2.0);
    }

    timer()
    {
        changeRotation();
    }
}
