# EMERGENCY FIX: Infinite Loop Resolution
|
|
|
|
## Problem
|
|
The delegation system created an infinite loop between Main_Controller_Linkset.lsl and Player_RegistrationManager.lsl:
|
|
|
|
1. Main Controller's `touch_start` sends `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER`
|
|
2. Player_RegistrationManager receives `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER` and processes it
|
|
3. BUT Main Controller's `link_message` handler ALSO receives `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER`
|
|
4. Main Controller forwards it AGAIN to Player_RegistrationManager
|
|
5. INFINITE LOOP 💀
|
|
|
|
## Root Cause
|
|
Both scripts were using the same message constant `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER = 106`, causing message collision.
|
|
|
|
## Solution Applied
|
|
|
|
### 1. New Dedicated Message Constant
|
|
```lsl
|
|
integer MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST = 9050; // Dedicated message to Player_RegistrationManager
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Updated Message Flow
|
|
- **Main Controller `touch_start`**: Sends `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST` (new)
|
|
- **Main Controller `link_message`**: Converts old `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER` to `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST` for backward compatibility
|
|
- **Player_RegistrationManager**: Only listens for `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST`
|
|
|
|
### 3. Files Modified
|
|
|
|
#### Main_Controller_Linkset.lsl
|
|
- **Added**: `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST = 9050`
|
|
- **Changed**: `touch_start` uses `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST` instead of `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER`
|
|
- **Changed**: `link_message` converts old messages to new format
|
|
- **Changed**: "Add Test Player" admin function uses new message
|
|
|
|
#### Player_RegistrationManager.lsl
|
|
- **Changed**: `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER = 106` → `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST = 9050`
|
|
- **Changed**: `link_message` handler listens for `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST`
|
|
|
|
## Message Flow Diagram
|
|
|
|
### BEFORE (Infinite Loop)
|
|
```
|
|
Touch → Main Controller → MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER → Player_RegistrationManager
|
|
↓
|
|
link_message handler
|
|
↓
|
|
MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER → Player_RegistrationManager (LOOP!)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### AFTER (Fixed)
|
|
```
|
|
Touch → Main Controller → MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST → Player_RegistrationManager
|
|
↓
|
|
link_message handler (converts old messages only)
|
|
↓
|
|
MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER → MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER_REQUEST → Player_RegistrationManager
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Backward Compatibility
|
|
The Main Controller still accepts old `MSG_REGISTER_PLAYER` messages from other scripts and converts them to the new format, ensuring no functionality is lost.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
- ✅ Single player registration should work without loops
|
|
- ✅ Bot addition via admin menu should work
|
|
- ✅ Multiple rapid registrations should not cause loops
|
|
- ✅ Existing functionality preserved
|
|
|
|
## Status: EMERGENCY FIX APPLIED ⚡
|
|
The infinite loop has been eliminated while preserving all functionality and maintaining the memory optimization benefits. |
