What kind, how much, how often? If it's just a little bit, dumping to local chat is probably the best option. Even if it's a lot, chat might be more convenient. If it's A LOT or very regularly, a web server for logging is probably more useful. Sadly scripts can't write notecards or really do anything besides chat or make HTTP requests.

Just to test this to be sure, I created a one-sided plane in Blender and used that as the physics model while raycasting against it. The ray won't hit the backside of the plane, but it will hit the "solid" side. llCastRay works by doing a "line-triangle intersection" check against the physics model of objects in the ray's path. This generally involves calculating the normal of the triangle, and optionally ignoring backfaces (which llCastRay does). Could you share the script you used? Just so we can confirm it's nothing simple like trying to call llCastRay(llGetPos(),<0,0,-5>,[]) for a downward ray. Also make sure that the status code is actually zero instead of one of the error values. Ruling out all the sane cases... I recall @Fenix Eldritch and @animats investigating a particular object whose physics shape seemed to be "full of holes" despite the physics shape being solid (as in it was totally random whether a raycast would hit it, even when the position was adjusted by a fraction of a fraction). Could that be happening here?

To see the object's physics shape, you can also select the object and click the little eye-icon in the Build Tools window, next to the physics type.

LinksetData aand Script Sharing Awareness
Wulfie Reanimator replied to Lillani Lowell's topic in LSL Scripting
Another thing to consider is how your script could be written to not rely on LinkSet Data. LSD is a convenient cache so your script doesn't have to spend time doing extra work, but if the value is not there (or it cannot be written because there's not enough space), your script should have some way to generate that info from scratch. (Assuming it's not a multi-script system, but even then, good to design a backup.) -
Spying Tracking and Stalking
Wulfie Reanimator replied to Moloch Redgrave's question in Abuse and Griefing
It's called God Mode. -
I think the cheapest way is to just buy lindens: https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/buy.php The minimum spending amount is $2.50. That means you'd have to spend $1.01 on top of the $1.49 transaction fee. Currently you would get either 243 lindens instantly, or 254 lindens within 10 minutes. Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot about the two different stages of "on file" and "used."

While you can use BOM for all of the bodies/heads from Uti (or literally any modifiable object, even prims), any SLUV skins won't be compatible because Kemono/Avatar2 uses totally different parts of the texture for different things. You'd see things you're not meant to see. 😄

You reminded me of how I, by some miracle, managed to recover the account I made originally... 13 years ago. With a very simple one-word username too, so it's actually a pretty valuable to have if I ever care to create any content on that platform. Good for Krankhaus though. They started so small and came far. They deserve any success they get, even if that means moving to bigger audiences.

open orders of lindens to sell but not selling?
Wulfie Reanimator replied to PurpleBunny88's question in Linden Dollars (L$)
At least the LindeX is a controlled economy, LL will keep the price within a certain range (and is very stable). -
making external https requests to inworld scripts
Wulfie Reanimator replied to Sasun Steinbeck's topic in LSL Scripting
Why exactly do you need to rewrite a lot of code to move from HTTP to HTTPS? You said you're using a form and have your own web server, which POSTs data to another page, from which you send data to the LSL script. When I recently tried/checked, you can't display any HTML content from LSL scripts unless they're visited exclusively from the in-viewer browser. You don't seem to be doing that if you can see security warning. How is the form served? -
When you add someone to the "ignored users" page on this forum (found in the top-right menu, under Settings), you can select what you'd like to ignore, and then you won't get a notification from them: Posts mean regular posts like this one (including replies). Mentions mean these: @Wulfie Reanimator Either "posts" or "mentions" includes reactions too, I just don't know which. Messages mean private messages on the forum. Signatures are included at the end of every post, and are off by default. Blocked posts in a thread will show up as collapsed items which you could click to open and read, or hide completely with browser extensions like an ad-blocker.

That's a cute idea! Easy to make, too.

The potential for abuse is much greater than the benefit we would gain from this feature. If there's anything to improve, the forum shouldn't announce the blocked content so prominently. Thankfully those are also easy to hide with browser extensions.

Spying Tracking and Stalking
Wulfie Reanimator replied to Moloch Redgrave's question in Abuse and Griefing
Log into the Jira (https://jira.secondlife.com, there's a blue Create button at the very top of the page) with your SL account and file a ticket, posting a suggestion here won't do anything really as it'll just get lost in the sea of posts. -
The current TOS doesn't mention anything about letting others access your account, so that's not necessarily true. In the past it has been both against TOS, and permitted with the caveat that "You are solely responsible for all activities conducted through your Account whether or not you authorize the activity." Edit: Apparently I can't Ctrl-F these days.

Come and get your Homesteads (P+ only, of course)
Wulfie Reanimator replied to LittleMe Jewell's topic in General Discussion
I'm not arguing that land can't be cheaper, I was clarifying for others in this thread that AWS isn't as cheap as you made it seem. -
Come and get your Homesteads (P+ only, of course)
Wulfie Reanimator replied to LittleMe Jewell's topic in General Discussion
AWS has different pricing for different kinds of servers, with bulk discounts, and you also pay for the processing time. (If you don't do anything with it, then you might only pay a couple bucks.) It can easily cost hundreds of dollars a month to rent "a virtual server" from AWS. (Not that it costs LL that much to run a single sim, since multiple sims will run per server, but it's also not the only cost they have.) The pricing for AWS/Google can sometimes make working with them kinda weird. For example, at my workplace we actually lose money if something is "a quick fix" because we pay more for the server to build our software than we can bill the customer for developer time spent. -
Generate a string of X characters in length
Wulfie Reanimator replied to Bones Outlander's topic in LSL Scripting
Loop is the most general way to do it. You could write a custom function that applies a given character X times, and that's about as convenient as you can get. Depending on your specific use-case, you could also go the other way around and do llGetSubString("***************", 0, n); assuming you know the maximum length you'll need. This way would be more speedy and memory-efficient (since you're not creating a bunch of immediately-discarded strings). -
