Running (integer)
Technical Details
  • Return Type: void
  • Energy: 10

Stop the script at the end of the current time slice, until re-enabled:

//Stops the Script, at some non-deterministic time later, until invoked with TRUE, in another script
llSetScriptState(llGetScriptName(), FALSE);
// Stall until end of time slice
llSleep(0.1);

Start another script:

//Starts Another Script
llSetScriptState("somescript", TRUE);

Caveats

Section titled “Caveats”
  • Cannot be used to restart a script that has encountered a runtime error.
  • Cannot be used to start a script that has been added via llGiveInventory. Scripts sent via llRemoteLoadScriptPin, and which have the running state set FALSE by that command, may be started.
  • The script appears to stop when its time slice ends, not sooner. If a script tries to stop itself then some LSL code following the llSetScriptState call may be executed before the script stops.
  • If a script is paused by llSetScriptState and is then either re-rezzed, in a region during a restart, or moved into a different region, the script’s memory is reset.
