Sometime scripts don't work until I delete and recreate them.

one of the issues with copy paste scripts from the internet, is that they can sometimes include characters from character sets other than Unicode UTF-16 which is the character set that the Linden script editor expects

when so then sometimes these non-UTF16 characters can be embedded and we cant see them with our eyes. The compiler does find them tho, and when it does encounter them then the compilation can bork

is best to copy paste to a external standard ascii text editor, which will strip out non-ascii characters. Then copy paste to SL editor from there

Depending on the viewer you are using, you might not be given error warnings or you might not notice that the script i not in a running condition. Try the following before you delete and recreate.

 

1) Edit the script and add a space at the end of a comment line, then click to save the script. If there are errors you will then get notified of them.

 

2) check that the script is shown as running, If not, do suggestion 1 after clicking on the running checkbox.

 

3) if neither 1 or 2 w0rk, try resetting the script.
