Scripts in a prim

[DelizaLove]

I placed a script into a prim, but how can I remove it from the prim ?

[Rolig Loon]

The same way that I assume you put it in.  Select the prim with your Build/Edit tool, go to the Contents tab, select the script, and delete it.

You should be aware, of course, that some prim features like hover text, particles, and sit targets can only be set or removed by a script.  If you remove the script that was used to set them, the features will persist.  You'll have to put another script -- a scrubber -- into the object to get rid of them.

I did and it worked, but on one prim the whole thing disappeared. Why is that ? 

[Rolig Loon]

Disappeared?  As in "became transparent", or as in "went out of existence"?  Actually, neither one is easy to explain.  I can come up with a scripting scenario that might do that -- and would make a nice security option, now that I think of it -- but it's kind of far-fetched.  Under the circumstances, my best answer is "I don't know, but I hope you had a backup copy."

I have, but then I have to rez the whole building again. Not sure, I can ask the creator how to rez just that part or if he can send it to me Its no big deal cause the dancing poles on that part kinda sucked anyway

When you attempted to delete the script, did you use the delete key? If you did, you may have inadvertently deleted the host prim by mistake. When removing inventory from prims, I play it safe and right-click the target item and select "delete" from the context menu.

maybe not sure, but I rezed the building in a sandbox and took a copy of the stuff I needed inside so I managed to fix it for now. I may have been deleting too much, but pretty sure I didnt

if the contents of the prim changes, the object is (for some reason) re-selected rather then the contents...

 

so if you're deleting more than one thing in a row, you select one, hit delete and it is gone, inventory refreshes and highlights the next thing automatically, hitting delete a second time will actually delete the prim itself, you have to manually click each inventory item regardless of if it looks highlighted... 

 

happens to me all the time
