continuing: Attach and Detach troubles

key gkRecentToucher;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        // llSay(0, "/me is afk ...");
    }
    
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llPlaySound("YosemiteSam_GoodbyeRabbit", 1.0); // play "mysound" when touched.
        gkRecentToucher = llDetectedKey( 0 );
        if (gkRecentToucher != llGetOwner( )) return;

        llSetObjectName("Domitan Redenblack");
        llSay(0, "/me is back ...");
        llSetObjectName("AFK Sign");
        
        llSetTimerEvent(3);
    }

    attach(key attached)
    {
        if (attached == NULL_KEY) return; // ignore detach
        
        // When attaching...
        llSetObjectName("Domitan Redenblack");
        llPreloadSound("YosemiteSam_GoodbyeRabbit");
        llSay(0, "/me is afk ...");
        llSetObjectName("AFK Sign");
    }

    timer( ) {
        if (gkRecentToucher == llGetOwner( )) 
            llRequestPermissions(gkRecentToucher, PERMISSION_ATTACH);
            gkRecentToucher = "";
    }

    run_time_permissions(integer perm) {
        if(perm & PERMISSION_ATTACH)  llDetachFromAvatar( );
    }
}

 The above code mostly works well, but sometimes the "Goodbye" from Sam gets cut off very early. Why? There does not seem to be lag when I click the object, and he starts to speak immediately, but is cut off long before the 3 second timer( ) trigger to detach.

Is the timer set off early?

I don't see clearly why you have a delay before requesting attach permission.
Another thing is that the timer will still be running next time you attach.
You have no timer stop or script reset.
Also, if somebody else but the owner touched or nobody touched before the object is attached to the owner, you will never get any attach permission.

If the cut off you talk about is in the played sound it may be because the sound playing is viewer side and is not played before it is loaded into the viewer.

Ah, yes. I should stop the timer. When the object (AFK sign above my head) is clicked, and detached, I forgot the timer would be running when attached again. Thanks.
