The bug from 2022 that makes sounds play again any time there's a script or viewer event. There's gotta be a workaround for LL to not have fixed it for two years. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-233079 https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-233791 https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-233643 Edited December 19, 2023 by Paul Hexem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that's an idea. At least then the loop will be silent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 If it's a simple script (not something you're protective of / want to keep private), you could post it for us to see if we find something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a handful in the JIRAs already. But literally I can write a script that's as simple as llPlaySound on touch_start and nothing else at all, and it'll just loop infinitely. The only apparent fix is to copybot the mesh and re-upload it myself. New prims won't have the bug. I'm trying to look for alternatives to that, since I suspect people won't be happy if I do it. I want to make it a last resort, you know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those 3 bugs blame the issue completely on llPlaySound(). 233791 does, and was reproduced by Maestro when he copied one of the offending objects from my inventory. They all seem to be somewhat related, though. Edited December 19, 2023 by Paul Hexem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I was going off this comment: "May be related to https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-233079 as there are other no mod scripts in my object that could be calling llTriggerSound" I see now, you reported that one yourself. LOL! <= laughing at myself for not noticing. Sorry such an old bug is troubling you ("new" in the grand scale of things, I see you reported it this past April). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
