This one is rather bizarre. A bug has recently been introduced to Second Life that has caused a failure for scripts that use llSetPrimitiveParams and llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast when those commands are used in conjunction with PRIM_PHYSICS.
This has led to a lot of angry content creators and users complaining, such as here on SL Universe where I first saw reports of this bug by Innula Zenovka and here on the Jira, where something extremely odd seems to have happened to Annmarie OToole.
Annmarie OToole has these automated vehicles running around mainland, particularly the Linden highways, these vehicles sometimes go off course and annoy people, they are controversial, some people think they shouldn’t be allowed, some people think they’re a nice addition. However the introduction of this bug has led to them losing a lot of control, Annmarie OToole says this has made the brakes fail and that this is causing fatal accidents!
“My vehicles rely on llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_PHYSICS,FALSE]); to stop suddenly to avoid collisions. This is not working in Blue Steel resulting in hundreds of fatal accidents.”
So Annmarie should get inworld and fix the bloody problem right, I mean it’s not her fault a bug has been introduced but there are workarounds, however the problem with that is that Annmarie has received a three day suspension, allegedly due to the vehicles misbehaving due to this bug!
