HUD won't respond

[noraisland]

I have a nice Hugs Hud that I use (because it lets you pick the type of hug, and who).  I have used it a number of times, but when I was visiting a friend at their place, the Hud wouldn't work.

 

I could attach and detach it OK, but it looked like all the clicks were either being ignored or never got to the Hud.  If I clicked twice quickly, I would start walking towards where I clicked.  It was as if the clicks were going through the Hud.

 

I assume that this is a permissions problem of some sort, but I have no idea what to tell my friend to change and neither did they.

 

Can somebody help us (it's a really good friend).

 

Thanks.. Nora.

The most likely cause is that Scripts have been disabled on the land parcel where you are trying to use the HUD.

When a parcel is set to disallow the running of scripts, scripts in HUDs don't work on it. If you have a radar, you'll probably notice that it gives you no information on some parcels.

they may have had scripts turned off..

thats what it sounds like to me..

this will make your hud not work at all..

 

[noraisland]

That makes sense.  Thank you for your replies.

 

Is there some way to 'fix' this?  My friend is renting this place, so I assume that she will need to contact the landlord and ask them to ?what?

well it may be something where you just have to join the land group..

do you wear it before you get there..sometimes that will work also..

Don't bother testing at the moment.  Maintenance is in progress   http://status.secondlifegrid.net/

Once that's over check first that the HUD works when you go somewhere with scripts enabled.

There are ways to run scripts in a no script zone - with limits. You have to wear it before you enter the no script zone. It depends on the scripter if the hud is capable of that.

No script zones go from ground to approx. 75m above. So in a skybox it will work on every land.

There seems to be a way to overcome this "scripts disallowed". I have an AO HUD and it sure works everywhere. Scripts not allowed has absolutely no effect on it. Which is indeed a great thing. :smileyhappy:

On the other hand, I have a dance HUD. That one does not work if scripts are not allowed, even if I wear it before entering a parcel with scripts disabled.

dance HUDs usually stop working bc the main script starts another dance script for each dancer including the owner. the other dance scripts wont start in a no scripts zone

the AOs, huggers, and other stuff, that always work use the takecontrols permission hack
