Hi! I've written a script that starts on touch_start. After starting the script, the touch_start event is supposed to be deactivated for some time, so that nobody can restart the script as long as the process has not been finished: integer on; touch_start (integer num) { if(!on) { on = TRUE; *do something* } else { return; } This seems to work (the only thing I'm not quite sure about is the "else" part with "return". Couldn't you just leave the "else" part out?) Now my main question: I've tried a similar version, which does NOT work, and I don't really understand the difference: integer on; default { state_entry() { on = FALSE; touch_start (integer num) { if(on = FALSE) { on = TRUE; *do something* } else { return; } } } } The problem apparently is that "!on" and "on = FALSE" don't seem to be the same thing. Could one of you explain the difference between "!on" and "on = FALSE" to me? (Besides: Is it necessary to declare the integer "on" as FALSE at the beginning? Is integer "on" not FALSE by default before it is turned TRUE?) Thank you very much in advance!

Can a SL merchant be reprimanded for their tactics? It's really very rude and sneaky the way some of them do their demo titling. One is tempted to search by adding to the criteria: NOT DEMO NOT demo NOT _DEMO NOT _demo NOT D+E+M+O NOT d+e+m+o and so on to infinity. These sh___y people should be boycotted for their lack of respect for people.Do they actually prosper by doing this? God I hope not. About the only way to beat them is to forget about freebies, and now 1L, and even 2L items. Start at 3L and you might not get pages full of demos. (or DEMOS, etc)
