state_entry

Description

Event: state_entry( ){ ; }

0	Event ID
	Delay

Triggered on any state transition and startup

Specification

Triggered

1. Script save or adding to object
2. State change
   • A state_exit is triggered in the old state and the state_entry is triggered in the new state. All other events in the queue are lost as a result of the state change.
3. On script reset, either by client or llResetScript/llResetOtherScript
4. When the object is rezzed without a saved script status
   • If it was a copy taken from inworld
   • If the event had not been triggered due to no-script land.

Not Triggered

1. When the object is rezzed with saved script status, not even on change of owner
   • Use on_rez event in this situation
2. When the task moves to another SIM, nor on SIM restart

Caveats

Examples

<lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSay(0,
           "You either just saved the script after editing it"
           + "\nand/or the script (re)entered the default state.");

       llSetText("Click to change states", <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 1.0);
   }

   touch_end(integer num_detected)
   {
       // Note: NEVER do a state change from within a touch_start event -
       // - that can lead to the next touch_start on return to this state to be missed.
       // Here we do the state change safely, from within touch_end
       state two;
   }

   state_exit()
   {
       llSay(0, "The script leaves the default state.");
   }

}

state two {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSay(0, "The script entered state 'two'");
       state default;
   }

   state_exit()
   {
       llSay(0, "The script leaves state 'two'");
   }

} </lsl>
