So I am going to remove that tag, and if anybody wants to put it back go ahead, I just dont see the point of that label.

I've added citations specific to individual content, with links to the appropriate LSL Portal page, as the LSL Portal can be a bit challenging to navigate. This should resolve the issue with citations, I would hope. [[User:CatDeville|CatDeville]] ([[User talk:CatDeville|talk]]) 22:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

==Detail==

Well anyways this needs to be more detailed??? I thought it woul be like a programming tutorial.{{<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Aceofspades1217|Aceofspades1217]] ([[User talk:Aceofspades1217|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Aceofspades1217|contribs]]) 01:38, 22 August 2006}}</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

:Read [[WP:NOT]] wikipedia is not a how to guide. The Lindens already have a Scripting language wiki that covers the how to.--[[User:Crossmr|Crossmr]] 02:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

:A little more detail isn't a problem, as long as it doesn't turn into a how-to. As far as when mono is coming, I've no idea, maybe check their forums or wiki?--[[User:Crossmr|Crossmr]] 17:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I understand that Wiki is not a How-to-Guide, however there was previously an excellent summary of information pertinent to LSL design that I found *EXTREMELY* helpful as a new LSL instructor which helped me to better understand LSL structure and design to explain it to my students. That information was deleted in bulk by the same user who included the erroneous information about Hello, Avatar talking "on rez", so I've corrected teh erroneous information, cleaned up the grammar a bit, added citations and returned the simplest form of that design description to the wiki, as I feel this is crucial and *basic*, general information about this programming language. It's the kind of info that new programmers are looking for when checking on a language in the wiki, and is consistent with the level of information given about other programming languages on wikipedia. When I have the time, which I do not today, I'll try and revisit it and flesh things out a bit more, again, to be consistent with the way that other programming informations are described on wikipedia, and try to add a little development history (I'll have to dig that info up from a lecture.)

: There is an "electric fence" of sorts that restricts the malicious usage of this function to perform a DOS attack.

: As far as I am aware, Linden Lab have not released official statements regarding the technical restrictions/limitations of the fence. It's simply a case of experiment and try not to blow up the grid.

: Anything not in the inventory of an object can be referred to by it's UUID- a unique identifier.

: I did notice, that unlike the usual self-replicating objects, the majority of the sonic rings did not contain any objects- only a single script.

Although low knowledge + high boldness is a common recipe for disaster on Wikipedia, I've ignorantly + [[WP:BOLD|boldly]] added [[Linden Scripting Language]] to the list of Application-specific languages at [[Scripting language]].

== That's not the hello world program. ==

default { state_entry() { llSay(0, "Hello, World"); } } is the Hello World for LSL. The touch event is simply there by default. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/128.118.31.24|128.118.31.24]] ([[User talk:128.118.31.24|talk]]) 00:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

actually, that is the "Hello, Avatar" program for LSL. LSL doesn't use "Hello, World", it uses "Hello, Avatar". The program showing is the default program created by the LSL editor whenever "New Program" is chosen, and that program includes the touch event as shown. Please see LSL's own wiki for documentation at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Hello_Avatar. [[User:CatDeville|CatDeville]] ([[User talk:CatDeville|talk]]) 21:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

== state_entry not triggered by rezzing an object ==

I also corrected this erroneous statement. Hello, Avatar is not triggered on rez. Triggering an event on rez requires the on_rez event. Hello, Avatar is triggered on state_entry... i.e., whenever the script enters the state in which the event resides, in this case the default state. Since this particular state entry is inside the default state, it triggers when the script is saved, initialized or reset, so I altered the wording to reflect that while trying not to get too detailed. The idea that state_entry triggers on rez is a common error which is even propogated by some scripting teachers in LSL, but if you review the LSL Portal wiki or if you test it yourself in SL you'll see this is not true.
