Miranda I dont disagree with you about the problems that sensor has in the pcode I showed. We have the option to loop thru the list of agents and check if they are in range of the object before we say or whisper what we do know with getagentlist is: 1) they are on the parcel 2) we dont risk missing them when the area within the sensor scan is busy + i just add another what else situation. Where using get agents list on parcel can give you a no miss result everytime, and avoid the misses (and multiple retrys sometimes) that sensor can introduce you at a club. Is busy as. heaps of avatars you want to invite your friend to come on your dance HUD They standing right next to you click. Sensor scans. The sensor dont find them. bc heaps avatars click. scan. nope move. click. scan. nope and repeat until ah! ha! got you. blinking SL !!! not only does the jaded SL user go: blinking SL !!! in these situations, but so does the scripter who made this dance HUD + alternative click. get list of agents on parcel. got you eta; tpyos

i can only repeat what I said before if you run the script on a small parcel (a standard 512m for example) and you dont mind that if the neighbours parcels are busy so that a agent on your parcel who you do want to get the Say() doesnt actual get it then use a sensor If speed of microseconds is more important than the agent on your parcel actual getting it then go with a sensor

i am biased in my approach (how I think about things) toward small parcel coding where dif owners are in close proximity. bc is my main experience. small parcel ownership what sensor dont do is restrict to only finding on own parcel. So the sensor will return agents who arent on our parcel in a small parcel environment. So we have to check whether they are by loop thru the count examples sensor(integer d){ // here we only got 1 choice // if we dont want to spam the neighbours while (~(--d)) { // find the 1st agent who is on the parcel if any if (llAgentOverLand(llDetectedKey(d)) { Say(); return; } }}timer(){ list a = llGetAgentList(AGENT_LIST_PARCEL, []); integer d = llGetListLength(a); // here we got 2 choices // 1. can Say() when anyone is on our parcel, or // 2. can loop thru and only Say() when find the 1st agent in range } in the sensor() way there is two loops performed necessarily 1. the server loops to build a list of agents in range 2. our code loops again to check for on parcel in the timer() way there is one loop performed necessarily 1. the server loops to build a list of agents on parcel the 2nd loop is discretionary/optional for us to do or not + another issue with sensor() in small parcel environment is: there is a sensor limit to how many agents are found. In small parcel environment then if the neighbour has lots of agents on it, then is quite often that any agents on our parcel are missed in the sensor scan when loop thru checking for agentOverLand then they not in the list at all. So they never get the Say() we want to direct at them

i been having a play on the Azumarill 3.8.4304871 some time ago I get cheeky in the GD about this game I was playing in SL the fuzzy guessing game. where you just go round and just guess what is on the lucky chairs and the vendors and the boards bc you cant see what is. So you just guess. And if you guess wrong then it goes Sorry!! you never won. which is ok. bc cant win everytime but if you guess right then you win. and you get a Surprise Prize. bc you cant see that either. bc fuzzy. But that ok as well. bc you won. Which is way way better to win a fuzzy whatever it is, than not win anything at all + but now i am disappoint bc Azumarill Linden has totally ruined my game. I been trying to play it at all my fav shops. Is terrible. My game is totally ruined ok!! like every texture I look at is full rez in about 4 secs, instead of like never. Whole shop fulls even of them bing ping pop !!! and there they all are was actual quite dangerous for me bc I nearly went blind you know. With all the shiny and crispness now. I nearly had to go and have a lie down even i just thought you like to know ok + and somebody should have Azumarill Linden's babies. At least two people i think. Three or four or five even maybe (: + is good this viewer. like really really good. so \o/ (:

Estelle Pienaar wrote: To come back to the original discussion, one way to make the the timer event script more efficient could be to use an llGetAgentList call and only run the dataserver event when no "zero vector" is returned. yes. agree you got it right in the timer event do that. get the list of agents, check if any in chat range and are on the parcel. then do the data server + just add making sure that the avatar is on the parcel is something that gets missed sometimes. Can drive our near neighbours who on their own parcel bananas if we dont mind out for them, with these kinda things

yes ok i can see that now. sorry

LL just keeps all the money paid for themself, and those people have to buy those other services on top of what they paid to LL + i just add so you dont think I am having a go at you where I live LL are supposed to charge me 15% GST (VAT) on top of the price. They dont. If they do pay the 15% inclusive then I am get the equivalent 15% of other services. Other services I get for free now, which people in other countries dont get

in the early early days the PERMISSION_DEBIT was pretty buggy. Same the whole permissions system so could exploit that like get the debit perm by trickery and then try to take money off them. Like take the escort fee if dont get it then they cant pay and so: smiles and o.m.g!! my dog/cat/whichever just spew up all over the place. Amd so sorry handsome/beautiful person. I has to go. We defo get together next time ok. Sweetness honeybunch !! mwahh !! mwahh !!!smmooch!!! and gone if do get it then: smiles and oh! wow! thanks ever so much for the giftee my wonderful smoochy smooch best thing I ever met in my whole life. Like ever !!! I soooo wants to get nekkid with you. mwahh!! mwaaaah! and most times the person goes hmmm! dunno how that happened but wooooohoooo!! nekkid time

Sassy Romano wrote: For Soft Linden to discard current trends as invalid because their assumed user base is more vigilant is naive ... there's no payback to LL for doing so, the customers problems are irrelevant to LL. agree about the first and I add a pile on to the second any kind of authentication inhibits new people from signing up in the first instance. for most sites not just SL tbf user numbers is what motivates providers to avoid/delay implementing anything that inhibits this number from increasing for sure site owners want to reduce the churn of after signups, but only after i dunno why LL dont just say that 2-step authentication is required if want to move $US in/out of SL. Which is a after signup and play for a time, situation

But if dont practice good business sense and discipline then can end up getting a big hurt + assume good practice tho i use mainland as example if have 10 standard mainland sims then 150,000 prims for $US1,950 a month. Then bc mainland get another 10% prim bonus. So 11 sims (165,000 prims) for $1,950. * 12 months = $23,400pa cost at 1L per prim per week rental say then max. earnings is: 165,000L per week Sell at 248. 165,000 / 248 = $665 - ($24 (fee)) = $641. * 52 weeks = $33,332pa revenues approx. $33,332 - $23,400 = $9,932 nett the breakeven in this case is approx. 0.7L per prim per week rental. Or 115,500 prims rented at 1L per week can look the inworld map and see who is doing ok on this scale, and more + also. a alternative look at the low cost skybox rentals where the rentals are 1L and less even sometimes. The same prims are rented to more than 1 tenant at the same time the landlord in this case is working on the assumption that not all the tenants will login to their skybox at the same time. Most of these landlords have a clause in their tenancy agreement about this. Basically what do you expect for your 20L a week rent this way of doing it (double renting the same prims, triple renting and more in some cases) is how some of the now big barons got started, for a smaller starting outlay/risk + edit: cant count. is why I am not any business person

(: as Theresa points out below anyone can say that they are a angel if they want. Pagans have angels, spirits. valkyries, etc if a person says they are a angel then ok. But if they then claim they a Angel of God then is nonsense I can be a angel and help you to the extent of my powers. You dont have believe in anything for me to help you. I will help you as best I can just bc is in my powers to do so and I can and I will. Dont make me any Angel of God this tho + ps MidnightDawn for a name is pretty provocative. Midnight to dawn is the time of the morning stars is why I am not much friendly to her + eta i mars well finish this sapphires are the shattered eyes of the demon Vela so lol really. That a person who says they are a Angel of God names themself as they have might be a angel. but not of the God they might want us to believe

PS: Angels are not dumb no they arent only a human is dumb enough to pretend to be one you ask for others to believe that you are. Is not a matter of faith or belief. A angel is a angel. A angel doesnt ask to be believed in a angel can act on a person whether the person believes or not a angel knows this when you say that a angel can only act on you if you believe they are a angel, then you diminish the angel to the level of the Easter Bunny read the scriptures

AnnMarie Otoole wrote: I heard a rumor that there will be no mainland, that would be a sad omission. Any confirmation? is no confirmation either way just that when we asked Ebbe in the Ask The CEO thread he kinda skirted round it, the question: Will there be a LL-provided SL-like mainland on Sansar? but he (Ebbe) did confirm that he would like to see others make their own mainland-like estates when that was put to him so we still wondering a bit

a actual Gods angel can TP to the person in the RL if you cant do this then you not a actual Gods angel, no matter how much other shiny you are wearing if cant RL TP then what you are is a missonary. A human being + when believe that a actual angel doesnt have to be able to RL TP to be a actual forreal angel, then you learned that off a preacher (another human being) who believes they are God. A vanity by them. A vanity by you and when so then both of you are outside the Grace of God. The actual forreal God whos name you claim in your vanity when you keep claiming to be a actual angel as you have done more than once now, then you are actual vain. And evil by definition. Not forums evil. Actual evil. A evil vain human being no believer in the Goodness of God would use the death of a child to make a emotional blackmail just to score points on a internets forum. Nevermind that you were responding to what you might have felt was a provocation + suggest you reflect on this and maybe even pray to the actual God for some guidance or can just continue with your vanity. And the not actual devils and demons on here will be happy to keep on poking you with their not actual pitchforks

it could be a combination of things going on independent events happening which when all come together gives the: to those in misery, misery is magnified + if lose the whole vendor off the sim then we can see how that can happen if lose no-copy stuff from within the vendor then Pamela explain quite well how that can happen if lose other stuff then we can see how that can happen if is a hole in the scripts, and Qie explain about that and also if somebody else has edit rights like you have mentioned. And even not maliciously can do all kinds of damage unwittingly with edit rights on other peoples stuff. And never say nothing afterwards when it goes horrible wrong. Like o.m.g!! nooo!!! i like totally ruined it. I never meant for that to happen. And then they run away and dont own up to it + the alternative to all the above is a massive hole in the server side, which somebody has found, and are exploiting. However, if so then I think that lots of others would be under attack right now, not just OP
