What does it mean - reset script

[Rstan]

I read in the notecard: Japanese sliding door 01. The door opens / closed at the touch.
If you change the size. do not forget to reset the script when finished.

How can I reset the script?

[revochen Mayne]

Double click on the the script to open it in the editor and press the reset button. Thers also an option for at the top building menu i believe but i almost reset scripts in editor. Requires specific perms on the script though.

To reset the scripts in a thing, select it, then go to Build->Scripts->Reset Scripts. In Firestorm (and perhaps other third-party viewers", right click the think and select "Object->Reset Scripts".

Scripts can contain internal variables that persist across many operations, such as moving them, pulling them back into inventory and rezzing them again, etc. Sometimes, upon first running, these scripts obtain information from their environment (like the size or orientation of the door they're in) when they're rezzed. This is more efficient than constantly querying the object for information that rarely changes. But when the environment does change, the script's internal variables may become obsolete, and the script might malfunction. For this reason you must sometimes reset a script after doing something to the object containing it.

Ok, and how can I copy script?  Just edit and copy and then insert in new object? The object has full permissions for copy script.

If you wish to copy a script from one object to another, you can edit the object that already has it, open the Contents tab, then drag the script to your inventory. Then drag the script from inventory into the Contents tab of the new object.
