[Opensim-users] one more Difference between opensim and SL timers

[Melanie]

This is correct behavior and also happens in SL. The timer is a
property of the script and when you rez the prim again, on_rez fires
but state_entry does NOT. This is correct and by design. It mirrors
what SL does. The script is already in state default and the timer
is still running from the touch before it was taken.

Some people are user to OpenSim's ages-old behavior of resetting
scrits on rez. That behavior has been gone for a long time now and
we're correctly duplicating SL's state persistence behavior.
