Function notes

Return value notes

Returns an integer that is the script start/rez parameter.

Caveats

  • The start parameter does not survive region restarts (SVC-2251) or region change (SVC-3258, crossing or teleport).
  • If the script is reset (using llResetScript or other means), the start parameter is set to 0.

Examples

default
{
    on_rez(integer param)
    {
        llOwnerSay("rezzed with the number " + (string)param);
    }
    state_entry()
    {
        integer i = llGetStartParameter();
        if (i)
        {
            llOwnerSay("I was given the number " + (string)i + " when I was rezzed");
        }
        else
        {
            llOwnerSay("rezzed from inventory (or rezzed/loaded with 0)");
        }
    }
}
