Summary

Function: llSetScriptState( string name, integer run );

Set the running state of the script name.

• string name a script in the inventory of the prim this script is in
• integer run boolean, if FALSE the script will be disabled.

Caveats

  • If name is missing from the prim's inventory or it is not a script then an error is shouted on DEBUG_CHANNEL.
  • Cannot be used to restart a script that has encoutered a run-time error.
  • Cannot be used to start a script that has been added via llGiveInventory. Scripts sent via llRemoteLoadScriptPin, and which have the running state set FALSE by that command, may be started.
  • The script appears to stop when its time slice ends, not sooner. If a script tries to stop itself then some LSL code following the llSetScriptState call may be executed before the script stops.
  • If a script is paused by llSetScriptState and is then either re-rezzed, in a region during a restart, or moved into a different region, the script's memory is reset.
