Script can't find Texture although it's in Object's inventory

Hi
I was making a script that changes the texture of a object and stuff and it just won't work. Could someone please tell me why?

string let0 = "letter_0";



default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen( 9,"",NULL_KEY,"");
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string m)
    {
        if (m=="texture-0-001")
        {
            llSetTexture(let0, ALL_SIDES);
        }
    }

}

When triggered it always says that it can't find the Texture but it's in the Object's inventory!

Are the textures in the Root Prim, and the script in a Child Prim... in which case you might be interested in this earlier thread.

No, it is a one prim thing. Nothing more and stuff!

Check for case sensitivity?

When in doubt I get really testy. and test things like:

default {
   state_entry() {
       integer i;
       integer n = llGetInventoryNumber( INVENTORY_TEXTURE );
       for (i=0; i<n; i++ ) {
           string name = llGetInventoryName( INVENTORY_TEXTURE, i)
           if ( name == "letter_0" ) 
               llOwnerSay( name + " MATCHES!");
           else 
               llOwnerSay( name + " doesn't match.");
        }
     }
 }

I'm assuming the name of the texture in your prim is letter_0... (that IS a letter, not a number right?)

this is un-tested, and simple... but it should work... when the state is entered the script builds a list of all the textures in it's inventory, then if you say the name of a texture it has, it changes to it... still uses channel 9 like before.

list availtexts = [];

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		availtexts = [];
		integer i = 0;
		string curtext;
		while((curtext = llGetInventoryName( INVENTORY_TEXTURE, i)) != ""){
			availtexts += [curtext];
			i++;
		}
		llListen(9,"",NULL_KEY,"");
	}
	listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string m)
    {
        if (llListFindList(availtexts, [m]) != -1)
        {
            llSetTexture(m, ALL_SIDES);
        }
    }
}

I never manually type the actual inventory name into my sctipt. I go into the object inventory, right-click, choose 'Rename', then press CTRL-c to copy and then ESC to cancel renaming. Then paste into the script (CTRL-v or Edit -> Paste). That might help if the exact name is your problem.

I'd be inclined to use a script to check and see if the texture really is in the inventory.

string let0 = "letter_0";

integer Find(string name, integer requestedType)
{
    integer type = llGetInventoryType(name);
    if(type != requestedType) llOwnerSay("ERROR " + name + " is not the right type!");
    return type ;
}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen( 9,"",NULL_KEY,"");
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string m)
    {
        if (m=="texture-0-001")
        {
            integer type = Find(let0,INVENTORY_TEXTURE );
            if(INVENTORY_TEXTURE == type) llSetTexture(let0, ALL_SIDES);
        }
    }
}

The script below gives WEIRD results ... it properly displays the textures in the prim (one prim so no daughter issues) and then displays the can't find texture error ... I reduced the number of textures to two so I could accurately see that all the textures were displayed .. they were ... and then the error msg.

it seems to cycle once with no error, then the message appears.

I started with 13 textures with sequential names: image1, image2 ... image13 then wondered if there was a data type problem and so rename everything 1,2, ... 13

Same result.

Then I decreased the number of textures thinking there might be too many.

Same result.

any ideas??

============ script below ======


integer i;
default
{
state_entry ()
{
//change image every 5 secs
llSetTimerEvent (5.0);
}

timer ()
{

if (i<llGetInventoryNumber (INVENTORY_TEXTURE))
{
i++;

}
else
{
i = 0;
}
//set the texture on the "1" face of the object
llSetTexture (llGetInventoryName (INVENTORY_TEXTURE, i), 1);
}
}

I think it's an index starts from 0 thing...

i needs to cycle from 0 to llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE) - 1
