Bizarre behaviour from wiki

[Xiija]

don't know if this affects anyone else, but when i copy/paste from the LSL wiki,  it will bork a script.

i copy pasted  a simple changed event ( changed inv ) , and it triggered in my obj on every touch event,

but when i erased if from the script and manually wrote the event, it worked fine.

 

anyone else?... anyone?.. Beuller?

Could it be copy/paste with extended character set, where you get some hidden chars added in the LSL script?

What exactly did you try to copy (link or copy it here), and are you 100% sure you pasted what was expected? Does it happen again? It's not impossible that there could have been extra stuff in the clipboard, but it'd more likely cause a syntax error.

the copy was just a quick grab from the changed page... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Changed

  changed(integer change)
    {
        //note that it's & and not &&... it's bitwise!
        if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY)         
        {
            llOwnerSay("The inventory has changed.");
        }

i've had this problem before when snaggin code for other scripts, and when i use the  snippet copied

from the wiki, the script fails weirdly, but when i type it out manually, it works fine.

(from my post in animesh forum, i used ... llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND,0);  )

 

anyhoo, i guess rachel is on to something, and i will hand type stuff from now on ty

when I copy from  a web page and I have these kinds of problems then I copy paste it into a plain text editor like Notepad. Then copy it from Notepad to the viewer LSL editor
