[Opensim-users] llSetPrimitiveParams doesnt work anymore

[Chris]

Yes I agree, loops with sleeps or functions that incur sleep penalties 
will quickly cause the script to appear to "hang up" eventually. Try 
llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast instead. If you need it to only apply to 
the prim that the script is in, use LINK_THIS. If you for some reason 
need the delay, try using a timer with llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast, and 
a count variable, stopping the timer after the count variable has 
reached a specific number of steps.
