[Opensim-dev] touch_start in linked prims

[Will Jones]

Thank you Melanie and Kurt,

I went back to SL and you are correct about the way scripts behave in linked 
prims. Part of my problem is testing several versions of OpenSim and 
Openlife. In the current OpenLife version I downloaded, touch scripts only 
seem to work as expected in the root prim. I will bring up the 0.5.8 build 
of OpenSim and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks again,
Will
