I'm a newbie to scripting in virtual worlds, but I was wondering what makes the most sense in terms of scripting.
>From my limited understanding, the Iron Python scripts for REX live on the server. The LSL scripts seem to me something you construct in an editor on the viewer. Does it make a difference if a script written in LSL by my avatar's viewer gets information from a data source and uses it, or if I do something similar as an Iron Python script? It just feels like the Iron Python script would be accessible globally and I would assume that scripts are local to the avatar associated with its creation. Of course my understanding may be completely off.
