It looks like this script is written so that it can be added to the contents of a prim independent of any other scripts.

Would the convenience of plug-n-play make the use of this script by itself be worthwhile?
Or, should I open other scripts that may be running and incorporate this script into those?

Just wondering about best practice on that.

what i am doing is sharing scripts I have used in opensim that I know work, some I make sure about in Kitely, some I don't confirm for Kitely specifically as they should work in most os based grids/regions.

I started doing it due to a comment made in one of the mentors meetings that they could not find basic os based scripts...I happen to have accumulated quite a few over time...so I felt I should help to ease folx time to transition in my own small way.

I also come across new ones all the time, and so I like to share those.

This is one of those...and as some had mentioned sit scripts, I share it for that.

When scripts either say they are free to share, or have no attribution instructions at all, i share them.

However, I am not a scriptor, tho I can mod some of them, and I kinda understand some others...I do not know how to create them.

Possibly those who do know can share here also, which is also one of my hopes for doing these...I think sharing knowledge in order to better our virtual lives is a good thing...

I do know this particular script had a nice animation with it-))
