When toggling FullBright via llSetPrimitiveParams on multiple prims in HUD attachments sometimes the prims go invisible instead. I'm posting this here as a warning to other scripters.

When changing ANY aspect of ANY prim, HUD or not, sometimes the object in question goes invisible for a few seconds.

And not only using llSetPrimitiveParams() either - by straight editing too especially if working on one part of a linked set.
Apparently it's not a bug because it's not replicable... Lots of people I know see it though!

I've noticed this, but in my case, it only happens when my avatar is facing westerly. I made a HUD compass, and if I'm facing east of a north/south line, I see the fullbright, 32-bit texture... if I face west of that north/south line, the fullbright texture is invisible.
I've also found that Linden water dissappears if my view is upside-down.

I think this is an alpha rendering issue. There are a few circumstances where it will happen and so far as I've seen the object in front has to have an alpha texture, either set in the edit window or a 32bit tga. It can happen if the item behind is set to full bright but the item in front is not (possibly the other way too) It can happen if the back or foreground or both have a color overlay set on them that is half or less bright (for instance gray rgp 128, 128, 12  . Those are the two examples I've seen so far. |

From: DoteDote Edison I've also found that Linden water dissappears if my view is upside-down. That's because water rendering is local to the computer, so when your view is upside down it all runs away into the sky. |
