Summary

Function: llReleaseURL( string url );

Releases the specified URL, it will no longer be usable.

• string url URL to release

Caveats

  • URLs are automatically released and invalidated in certain situations. In the following situations, there is no need to call llReleaseURL. But you will have to request a new one afterwards
    • When the region is restarted or goes offline
    • When the script holding the URLs is reset, or recompiled
    • When the object containing the script is deleted, or taken to inventory

Examples

KBcaution.png Important: Never ever forget to release a URL again which you have requested! URLs are region resources just like prims. If you take them all you can get into big trouble with the sim owner and/or estate managers.
