Less Strict Sensor

Any way to make a sensor less strict?

So you want to find Michael Martinez, so instead of searching the whole name with upper/lower case, just do find michael and it will find Michaels in the area...

Thanks..

Heya,

Maybe there is a better way to do this, but this will do what you wanted.

string command = "find"; //This is your command, The listen will make sure you said this before the name of the person you are looking for. 'find Michael'



integer listenID; //Listen tag

string To_Find; //Person you wish to find.


default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        //Set up the listen on channel 25
        llListenRemove(listenID);
        listenID = llListen(25, "", llGetOwner(), "");
    }
    
    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string msg)
    {
        //check owner actually gave the command
        if(llSubStringIndex(llToLower(msg), llToLower(command)) == 0)
        {
            //Give To_Find the same value as that of the name you are searching.
            To_Find = llGetSubString(msg, llStringLength(command) + 1,llStringLength(msg));
            //Start sensor
            llSensor("", "", AGENT, 96, PI);
        }
        return;
    }
    sensor(integer num_detected)
    {
        //creat a loop to check everyone returned in scan
        integer i;
        for(i = 0;i < num_detected;i++)
        {
            //This is the full name of the person found in scan making it lowecase
            string full_name = llDetectedName(i);
            
            
            //This will strip the first name from the full_name
            string first_name = llGetSubString(full_name,0,llSubStringIndex(full_name," ") - 1);

            //compare it to To_Find
            if(llToLower(first_name) != llToLower(To_Find)) return;
            llSay(0, first_name + " has been found at " + (string) llDetectedPos(i));
        }
    }
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
}

If its no good, dont shoot me, just trying to help
