communications between objects - Shout/Listen

Hi

Could someone help please? I am trying to use shout/listen function to make two objects communicate with each other, but the receiver seems not pick up the message and does nothing.

Caller object:

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
//get object attributes first
string desc = (string) llGetObjectDetails(llGetKey(),[OBJECT_DESC]);
string OType = llGetSubString(desc, 0, 1); //ge the first two letters as the type id
llShout(401, "callDatabase" +OType);
}


Receiver object:

integer lchannel = 401;

default
{
state_entry()
{
//listen_handle=llListen(lchannel, "", NULL_KEY, "";
llListen(lchannel, "", "", "";
}


listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
{
llSay( 0, message );
string command = llGetSubString(message, 0, 11);

llSay( 0, message );

if( command== "callDatabase" )
{

llSay( 0, "A call is received " );
}


}
}

Yes, what happens? what do you see? what is the problem? Do you want someone to read, edit and test your script for you?

You seem to have forgotten the closing bracket in the llShout.
Also if the distance between the objects is more then 100 m you'ld better use llRegionSay.

Needs a closing bracket

In all honesty I am having trouble deciphering your code without some more information and knowing what this script is communicating with and what the outcomes are supposed to be.

A prim can not hear itself with llShout, say, whisper, regionsay, to prevent problems with recursion.

make sure both scripts are running, by making them llOwnerSay("idostuff"; when they do something. They can stop running on some errors.

use negative channels, they have the advantage that agents can not chat on negative channels.

Just found that the receiver's script was not runing.
