Bug in using mouselook left click with an experience?

[ItHadToComeToThis]

So, after coming up against some issues I wrote a small test script to make sure that there wasn't an error in the system I am working on.

So here is the script....

default{
    attach(key av){
        if(av){
            //Tried with llGetOwner also
            llRequestExperiencePermissions(av,"");
        }
    }
    experience_permissions(key user){
        if(user){
            //This runs
            llTakeControls(CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON,TRUE,TRUE);
        }
    }
    experience_permissions_denied(key user, integer reason){
        //No errors returned
        llOwnerSay((string)reason);
    }
    control(key id, integer level, integer edge){
        //This doesnt
        integer p=level&edge;
        if(p&CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON){
            llOwnerSay("Working");
        }
    }
}

It grants the experience, it runs the llTakeControls, however, mouse look left click just is not working.

The script is enabled for an experience, the experience is enabled on the land.

I can't see any reason why this is not working

 

**Edit**

This script runs fine if you use a normal permissions request instead of the experience permissions request

Odd.  It works fine for me.  I just slapped your script into a prim, attached it as a HUD, went into mouselook, and clicked left.  I got the message "Working".  I can make it fail in either of two ways: (1) By failing to set it into an experience or (2) By restarting the script after it has attached.

Try adding an llOwnerSay diagnostic in the experience_permissions event to be sure that you are actually activating llTakeControls. 

experience_permissions(key user){
        if(user){
            //This runs
            llOwnerSay("Taking controls");
            llTakeControls(CONTROL_ML_LBUTTON,TRUE,TRUE);
        }
    }

I did, it says "Taking controls" but still doesn't work. The script compiled for an experience. I just can not get mouse look left click to work with experience permissions. The more I try the more I have a vague memory of this being an issue at some point in the past for others

Very odd indeed.  It really does work as designed when I try it. It's a mystery.  Maybe it will fail for someone else.  I'm off to bed at the moment but I'll have my alt try again in the morning.

This is why it can be helpful to check the jira for issues relating to scripting bugs.

See this and related issues.

The workaround has been to request run-time perms on attach instead.

Hm, there's a sense of ambivalence with this.

On the one hand I'm happy I am not going crazy.

On the other hand im sad that it was reported five flipping years ago and still hasn't been fixed.

Thank you for your responses though. I found a work around by requesting run time perms when I needed to use the mouse look left click and then calling experience perms once more to work the other features of the script immediately after. Bit of a pain but it now works
