Projected lights from linked llTargetOmega prims slowly drift downwards #1001

Open canny[bot] opened 8 months ago

canny[bot] commented 8 months ago

Projected light emitter must be in a linked object and rotating with PRIM_OMEGA or the like. Note that particles, a similar viewer-side effect, do not drift. This is not a server-side bug: no active script need remain in the object for the drift to continue. See https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/507574-projected-light-slowly-drifts-from-targetomega-use for video, sample setup script, detailed observations
