Script trying to take controls from owner but PERMISSION_TAKE_CONTROLS permission not set!

[Take5]

This error appears each time my AO hud is started. Does anyone know what this means?

Well, if you read my 2013 post and the two below yours, you'll see it all depends on context. It's a permission issue.  The script needs your permission to control it.  Most vehicle scripts are like that, for example. It's possible that it's written to only allow the current owner to operate it,  or members of a specific group. Most scripts that are meant to restrict use like that are written to reset on change of ownership or at least on rez. It's possible, as I suggested above, that it was poorly scripted. It's also possible that it is simply broken. If you wrote the script or if you have permission to modify it, it's fairly easy to "fix" it. If not, then you are out of luck.

It means exactly what it says.  Any time a scripted object is supposed to control your avatar's behavior, it has to ask your permission first.  A scripter has to provide a way for the script to get that permission, usually by putting a bit of code into the event that activates the object.  In the case of your AO, the act of attaching the AO probably starts things going.  My guess is that the scripter has miscoded that part of the script.  Without seeing the script itself, it's impossible to know exactly what repair to recommend.  Unfortunately, the script is almost certainly no-mod, to, so you can't fix it anyway.  If you are VERY lucky, you might be able to get it to behave by detaching the HUD and then wearing it again, but don't count on it.

This is a thread from 2013.

The error happens when a script calls llTakeControls before it has called llRequestPermissions.

It's not a bug or a problem, that's just how you need to write your script.

This message often appears if you rez a scripted item that is expecting to be attached to your avatar.
