How to fix a script so it does not die every sim restart?

[Daniel Hoffman]

Hi all! I am a non-scripter, to say the least. The most I can do is take a script and change variables. That being said, I found the below script on the always-useful Outworldz site. It is a script where you drop several sound files into a prim, along with the script, and the script then plays these files randomly with the incidence of them being played being a controllable parameter. (In other words, out of 4 sound files, the script will play one of them every x to y seconds.) I love it, it's fabulous and does just what I want... except...

...every sim restart (which is obviously all the time in Kitely), the script stops working and I have to manually find all my invisible prims with sounds and reset them. Does anybody know a line or two of code to add to this script so that it resets itself on a sim-restart?

Here's the script and humble thanks in advance if anyone can fix this:

Not an expert but you need something along the lines of the following in the default state.

Code: Select all

    changed(integer c)
    {
        if (CHANGED_REGION_RESTART & c)
        {
            //code to run on restart
        }
    }

I'm not inworld so I can't test it, but try this:

Thank you so much to you both! I will go in-world and test these out tomorrow, when I finally get to emerge from real-life into the more satisfying virtual life!
