On second sample...

I have two question about the comment in it:

  • What is the meaning of "(discounting resets, deletions, taking to inventory etc.)" ? When the three cases, what will happen?
  • "The average click will have you catapult through this state with nothing but a chatted message to remember it by." Can anyone tell me what it mean in easier English?

The touch_ chain will remain intact until either touch_end is triggered or a new touch_start. If however the script is reset (although there is some doubt as far as this is concerned (see the jira for more details)) the chain will be cleared. If the script is taken into inventory or deleted etc the touch_chain is cleared too. To be honest the caveat is quite complex since it is making reference to a long standing "bug". I quote since it is not certain whether the behavior is truly a bug or expected.

"The average click" means a normal click (not long or super rapid).
"catapult through this state" means you will be slung through. Fired through. Rapidly in and then rapidly out again.
"with nothing but a chatted message to remember it by" means that the only indication that you were ever in that state will be the chatted message in you communication history (since the script passes through that state so fast). -- Fred Gandt (talk|contribs) 23:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
