That's not uncommon behavior for collision_start. The way to get around it is to maintain a global list of avatars who have recently collided with your object, then use that list to ignore future collisions. Clear the list after a reasonable time. A very simple example might look like this:
collision_start (integer num) { if ( !~llListFIndList( lAllAvs, [ llDetectedKey(0) ]) ) {
llSetTimerEvent( 20.0 ) // Timer triggers 20 seconds after the most recent collision with a new arrival
lAllAvs += [ llDetectedKey(0) ];
llSay( 0, llDetectedName(0) );
}
}
timer()
{
lAllAvs = [ ]; // Clear the list }
}
You can be more elegant, but that basic approach ignores extra spurious collisions within a short time. ( Formatting scripts in the JIRA is impossible. Sorry. )
What just happened?
Inserted this script into a flattened cube:
Now I'd expect it to be triggered once when I walk on it. It repeats every 1-2 seconds. However it doesn't happen with alts (only once).
Tried removing all attachments & still happens but just for my AV.
What were you doing when it happened?
Walking on a scripted flattened cube.
What were you expecting to happen instead?
One event unless I move whilst on the plain.
Other information
Seems to be just me not my alts (even if they create the plain). When I walk on their plain there's repeated events. When they walk on it there is only one. Tested on main & beta grid and same happens. Could it be something to do with premium vs. non-premium accounts? That & payment info is the only difference I see between me & my alts.
