Stop spinning...please

Ok, maybe I'm, like, oversimplifying this code but I don't know. I'm trying to make a prym, when touched, to tell another prym to start spinning and when touched again, to stop spinning. Now it does start to spin, but won't stop. HELP!

Here is the first prym

integer i = 0;
default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(i==0)
        {
            llSay(-6,"start");
            i=1;
        }
        if(i==1)
        {
            llSay(-6,"stop");
            i=0;
        }
    }
}
CODE


Here is the spinny thing
CODE

integer listen_handle;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        listen_handle = llListen(-6,"","Recorder","");
    }
    
    listen(integer channel, string s, key k, string msg)
    {
        while( msg == "start")
        {
            llTargetOmega(<1,0,0>,1,3);
        }
        while( msg == "stop")
        {
            llTargetOmega(<0,0,0>,0,0);  <-Didn't know what else to do      
        }
    }
}
CODE

hmm, i'm having a similar issue with target omega, it stops, but strangely. click it once to start the rotation, click it again to stop it, for some reason it starts to spin again at the starting point and then snaps back and stops

actually, looking at yours, you might want to change while to if and else if. and in the touch script, have you tried it on channel 0 to make sure it's actually saying stop?

Zeta change the while loop because:

while( msg == "start"
{
llTargetOmega(<1,0,0>,1,3);
}

msg equals "start" so this loop never ends anymore. There is no checking for a new msg.

Change it in:
listen(integer channel, string s, key k, string msg)
{
if( msg == "start" llTargetOmega(<1,0,0>,1,3);
else if ( msg == "stop" llTargetOmega(<0,0,0>,0,0);
}

Hello Ruthven.

llTargetOmega is a clientside rotation. On the server the prim doesn't rotate and every client sees a different rotation. Why resetting this script? That surely wil cause strange behavior. Do you need the state_entry? Not for this rotation. Using TRUE and FALSE makes the script more readable.

integer on = FALSE;
default {
touch_start(integer n) { 
if (on) llTargetOmega(<0,0,0>,0,0);	 //if on is true switch rotation off
else	llTargetOmega(<0,0,1>,1,0.01); //else switch it on
on=!on; } }

actually i had it that way before, and it was simply stopping in place on my screen until i selected it. somehow resetting the script resets the rotation that i see. worked for for something that i had also changing position. but dealing with targetomega only is doing that odd bounce

Also the llListen() call has "Recorder" in the ID portion. If it's the name of the sending object, it should be the second parameter, not the third.

So this:

listen_handle = llListen(-6,"","Recorder","");

becomes this:

listen_handle = llListen(-6, "Recorder", NULL_KEY, "");

Thanks, everyone for your help, it is............WORKING!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! thank you.
