That's actually really reassuring! It's easy to forget just how much 2 billion is simply looking at the number. Pretty sure SL isn't even going to be around for 68 more years (I'm hoping it will though!), so that puts my worries to rest!

I see! So I shouldn't worry about the gradually incrementing menu_channel_listener as it instantiates new listeners. That settles my mind on the matter, though I'm still curious as to what function the handle serves when it increments by 1 every time it's instantiated (from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc.) and if that eats consumes available memory or not -- which is what prompted my attempt to manually empty both vars. My concern stems from that I don't expect the script to be reset a lot (it's an in-world dataserver thing -- it will store very little data so I don't expect that to be an issue), so if/when menu_listen_handler is starting to poke at 2 147 483 647 (in the unlikely event that would happen), will the script crash or run out of memory? Which is why in an ideal world, I'd love for the handle's output in the chat to not be anything higher than the number 1 once instantiated. I couldn't find any documentation to clarify that particular aspect of it, see. I try to be frugal with memory so I developed a habit of clearing variables whenever I'm done with them, but maybe I don't need to worry so much about that. Thanks for the explanation and advice though! It's really appreciated!

Hi! I noticed something while I was scripting today that I couldn't quite find an answer to on the wiki, and Google was useless. I'm writing a script that clears and rebinds a llListen with a different generated channel every time it is touched, and I noticed that the listen handle appears to increment its value every time, even after attempting to clear it and outright set it to FALSE. Why does this happen? Will this impact the memory usage of the script? The output looks something like this: [11:51] Object: Listener: 1, Channel: -696923964 [11:51] Object: Listener: 2, Channel: -696923960 [11:51] Object: Listener: 3, Channel: -696923980 [11:51] Object: Listener: 4, Channel: -696923930 [11:51] Object: Listener: 5, Channel: -696923905 [11:51] Object: Listener: 6, Channel: -696923934 [11:51] Object: Listener: 7, Channel: -696923912 [11:51] Object: Listener: 8, Channel: -696923918 [11:51] Object: Listener: 9, Channel: -696923956 [11:51] Object: Listener: 10, Channel: -696924001 Even outright instructing the compiler to set the Listener variable to zero/false is fruitless, so now I'm just wondering what's happening. Setting up the listen event looks like this: menu_channel_listener = llListen((menu_channel = set_active_channel_to(owner_key, (integer)(llFrand(100) + 11))), "", NULL_KEY, "");And I am attempting to clear it like this: llListenRemove(menu_channel_listener); menu_channel_listener = (menu_channel = FALSE);
