link message reciever

I am trying to script the reciever

from the sender :

llMessageLinked(link_all_others,0,"furl","";

would the reciever be

link_message(integer sender_num, integer num, string str, key id)

_______________________________________________________

I can seem to find information about what the meaning of the values between the ( )

in the reciever. I am new and can't seem to figure this all out, Thanks

Yes, that is how the receiver should be. These are the parts of the linked message

integer sender_num - this identifies who the sender is
integer num - this can be used as a variable
string str - pass your message here
key id - I use as another variable.

here is a sample of how I use a linked message

llMessageLinked(LINK_ALL_OTHERS,0,"EHLO","2");

link_message(integer sender, integer num, string message, key id)
{
    if(key == 2)
     {
        llSay(0, message);
}
}

I hope this clears things up a little for you!

The event handlers are a little bit like function calls. When an event arrives, the information in the event will be assigned to the parameters in the event handler, and those names are local to the event handler.

By the way, you don't need to use the names that the template suggests. You can use any names you like, that have meaning for you.

yes helps a lot, thanks

ok how's this?

default
{
     state_entry()
     
      {

         link_message(intger sender, intger num, string message, key id
 
            {
                 If (message == main)

                          llSetAlpha(1.0,all sides)

             {
                  else if (message ==furl)
                       
                          llSetAlpha(0.0,allsides)

              {

                   else return

               }
               }
               }

      }

}

...close...

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
    }

    link_message(integer sender, integer num, string message, key id
    {
        If (message == "main")
        {
            llSetAlpha(1.0, ALL_SIDES);
        }
        else if (message == "furl")
        {
            llSetAlpha(0.0, ALL_SIDES);
        }
        else return;
    }
}
