whats the deal?

All day I have been working on a script and testing it. Now it seems lsl is not wanting to pick up keys like this for me now. Any one know whats going on with it?

list owners = ["ea7516ac-7e14-4785-b117-3a4706f6292f"];

default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(1, "", "", "";
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
if(llListFindList(owners, [id]) > -1)
{
llOwnerSay(message);
}
}
}

Looks like the problem is that you're storing a string not a key in your list. Try casting the string to a key, like this:


list owners = [(key)"ea7516ac-7e14-4785-b117-3a4706f6292f"];

i assume you're gonna be adding more keys to the list. but what you could try in the listen event is instead of seeing if it's more than negative 1, check to see if it's not equal to negative 1. IE:

if(llListFindList(owners, [id]) != -1)//if id is not in the list
{;}//leave it empty, or do something here if who it hears is not on the list
else
{
llOwnerSay(message);
}


edit: or what pedro so, but to simplify it, you could do this
leave the list as is, and then:

if(llListFindList(owners, [(string)id]) > -1)

or even check the name instead of the key?

I don't think that will work. For real up to about 30 mins ago it was working fine then poof it will not pick up any keys from the list.

I tried your 2 ideas still nothing. Kinda weird lol

Ruthven is right - when you have a listener that checks for agents saying something in chat, you could easily store the agent's names instead of the keys:

list allowed = ["Jenn Yoshikawa"];
integer listener;
integer chatChannel = 0;

default{
	
	state_entry(){
		listener = llListen(chatChannel, "", NULL_KEY, "");
 	}
	
	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message){
		// check for name of the agent
		
		string clickerName = llKey2Name(id);
 		
		if(llListFindList(allowed, [clickerName]) != -1){
			llOwnerSay(message);
		}
 	}	
}

Sorry Jenn but they are right, you can not compare a key to a string and one or the other has to be cast to work, and it does work because I just tested in world. Ruthven suggested storing and testing names which I demonstrated in your thread from the other day:

EDIT Haruki got to it before me!

if (~llListFindList( allowed, (list)clickerName )){
also works

Using (list) used to have terrible problems in this exact situation, and is probably not a good idea, when you can just use brackets. o.o
